3. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and proper installation of your SYLVANIA Dusk to Dawn LED light bulb:

1. Power Off: Before installation, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
2. Remove Old Bulb: Carefully unscrew the existing light bulb from the fixture.
3. Install New Bulb: Screw the SYLVANIA Dusk to Dawn LED bulb into the standard E26 medium base socket until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker or wall switch.
5. Sensor Placement: For optimal performance, ensure the light sensor on the bulb is not obstructed and is exposed to ambient light. Avoid placing the bulb in fixtures that might block the sensor or in close proximity to other light sources that could interfere with its operation.

4. Operating Instructions

The SYLVANIA Dusk to Dawn LED bulb operates automatically based on ambient light levels:

• Automatic On: The built-in light sensor detects when ambient light falls below a certain threshold (e.g., at dusk or in dark conditions) and automatically turns the bulb on.
• Automatic Off: When the sensor detects sufficient ambient light (e.g., at dawn or when other lights are turned on nearby), the bulb will automatically turn off.
• Continuous Power: For the automatic function to work, the light fixture's switch must remain in the 'ON' position.

5. Maintenance

SYLVANIA LED bulbs are designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation. However, consider the following for optimal performance:

• Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Sensor Obstruction: Periodically check that the light sensor on the bulb is clear of any obstructions (e.g., dirt, leaves, fixture components) that could interfere with its ability to detect light levels.
• Replacement: While designed for longevity, if the bulb ceases to function, replace it with a new SYLVANIA Dusk to Dawn LED bulb.
