Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- 1 x Lithonia Lighting HomeGuard 2-Light LED Outdoor Flood Light (White)
- 1 x Crossbar
- Installation Hardware (screws, wire nuts, gasket)
Setup and Installation
This flood light is designed for wall or eave mounting and is compatible with standard 4x4 junction boxes. Basic electrical wiring knowledge is required for installation. Always ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before starting.
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the junction box is securely installed and accessible.
- Attach the Crossbar: Secure the provided crossbar to the junction box using the supplied screws.
- Wire the Fixture: Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting the black wire (hot) to the black wire, the white wire (neutral) to the white wire, and the green or bare copper wire (ground) to the ground wire. Use appropriate wire nuts to secure connections.
- Mount the Fixture: Carefully align the fixture with the crossbar and secure it using the mounting screws. Ensure the gasket is properly seated to prevent water intrusion.
- Adjust Light Heads: The two round light heads are tool-less adjustable. Position them to direct light to your desired areas for optimal coverage. Integrated visors help minimize glare.
Operating Instructions
Your HomeGuard LED Flood Light offers customizable lighting options:
- Dusk-to-Dawn Operation: The integrated photocell sensor automatically turns the light on when ambient light levels drop (dusk) and off when light levels rise (dawn).
- Adjustable Photocell Sensitivity: The photocell sensitivity can be adjusted to control when the light activates. This allows you to fine-tune whether the light turns on during daytime (for testing) or strictly operates as a dusk-to-dawn fixture.
- Adjustable Lumen Output: The flood light provides two brightness levels: 1750 lumens (low) and 2750 lumens (high). The lumen output can be adjusted by rotating a dial on the fixture.
Note: This model does not feature app control. Any specification indicating app control is incorrect for this specific product.
Maintenance
The Lithonia Lighting HomeGuard LED Flood Light is designed for minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- LED Replacement: The integrated LED lights are not user-replaceable. If the LEDs fail, the entire fixture must be replaced.
