Operating Modes
The iMaihom 130W LED Flood Light offers two operating modes:
1. Dusk-to-Dawn Mode (Default)
In this mode, the built-in photocell sensor automatically detects ambient light levels. The light will turn on when it gets dark (nightfall) and turn off when it gets bright (daybreak).
- No manual intervention required.
- Energy efficient operation.

2. Switch-Controlled Mode
To operate the light manually via a wall switch, cover the photocell sensor with the provided black silicone cap. This disables the automatic dusk-to-dawn function, allowing you to control the light with your existing wall switch.
- Allows manual ON/OFF control.
- Ideal for situations where continuous lighting is not desired or specific timing is needed.

Maintenance
The iMaihom 130W LED Flood Light requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light heads and photocell sensor with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
