This LED bulb is designed to provide automatic outdoor lighting with integrated motion detection and a dusk-to-dawn feature. It can also be linked with other compatible GE LED+ bulbs or fixtures to create an expanded motion sensor system.

2. Safety Information

  • Electrical Safety: Always turn off power to the fixture at the circuit breaker before installing or removing the bulb.
  • Indoor/Outdoor Use: This bulb is rated for outdoor use in suitable fixtures. Ensure the fixture is weather-resistant if used outdoors.
  • Dimmer Switches: This product is not for use with dimmer switches. Using it with a dimmer switch may cause malfunction or damage.
  • Operating Temperature: Ensure the operating environment is within the recommended temperature range for LED bulbs.
  • Disposal: Dispose of LED bulbs according to local regulations.

3. Package Contents

Your package should contain the following item:

  • 1 x GE LED+ Motion Sensor Light, PAR38, Outdoor Light Bulb (Warm White, 90-Watt Replacement)

4. Setup and Installation

  1. Power Off: Before installation, ensure the power to the light fixture is turned off at the circuit breaker.
  2. Install Bulb: Carefully screw the GE LED+ Linkable Motion PAR38 Floodlight into a standard E26 base light fixture. Ensure it is securely tightened.
  3. Power On: Restore power to the fixture at the circuit breaker.
  4. Initial Test: The bulb will perform an initial self-test. It may cycle through its brightness levels.
  5. Positioning: For optimal motion detection, position the fixture so the bulb's sensor has an unobstructed view of the area you wish to monitor. Avoid placing it near heat sources or objects that might cause false triggers.

5. Operating Instructions

  • Dusk to Dawn Functionality: The bulb features a built-in light sensor. At dusk, it will automatically turn on at a 50% brightness level. At dawn, it will turn off.
  • Motion Detection: When motion is detected during the night (while operating at 50% brightness), the bulb will instantly switch to 100% illumination. This full brightness will remain for approximately 3 minutes after motion ceases, then return to 50% brightness.
  • Linkable System: For larger areas, you can link up to 30 compatible GE LED+ Linkable Motion bulbs or fixtures. When one linked bulb detects motion, all linked bulbs will illuminate to 100% brightness. Follow the linking instructions provided with your other GE LED+ Linkable Motion products for specific pairing procedures.

6. Maintenance

The GE LED+ Linkable Motion PAR38 Floodlight requires minimal maintenance. Ensure power is off before cleaning.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may damage the bulb or its sensors.
  • Sensor Check: Periodically ensure the motion and light sensors are free from dust, dirt, or obstructions that could affect performance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your GE LED+ Linkable Motion PAR38 Floodlight, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible Cause / Solution
Bulb stays on at 100% brightness or does not turn off during the day.
  • Insufficient Darkness: The light sensor may be detecting too much ambient light, preventing it from entering dusk-to-dawn mode or dimming. Ensure the bulb is not exposed to other light sources (e.g., streetlights, other fixtures) that could interfere with its sensor.
  • Sensor Obstruction: Check if the light sensor is obstructed by dirt, debris, or the fixture itself.
  • Fixture Type: Ensure the fixture allows sufficient light to reach the sensor.
Bulb does not detect motion or motion detection is inconsistent.
  • Sensor Obstruction: Ensure the motion sensor is clear of obstructions (e.g., leaves, spiderwebs, fixture components).
  • Placement: The bulb may be positioned too high, too low, or at an angle that limits its detection range. Adjust the fixture's angle if possible.
  • Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures, strong winds, or nearby moving objects (e.g., swaying branches) can sometimes interfere with motion detection.
  • Power Cycle: Turn off power to the fixture at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then restore power.
Linked bulbs are not responding or linking fails.
  • Compatibility: Ensure all bulbs and fixtures are compatible GE LED+ Linkable Motion products.
  • Range: Linked products must be within the specified wireless range of each other.
  • Interference: Other wireless devices or physical obstructions may interfere with the linking signal.
  • Reset: Follow the specific linking reset instructions for your GE LED+ Linkable Motion products.
Bulb flickers or does not turn on.
  • Loose Connection: Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the socket.
  • Power Supply: Verify the fixture is receiving power.
  • Dimmer Switch: Confirm the bulb is not installed in a circuit controlled by a dimmer switch, as this product is not compatible.
  • Bulb Life: If the bulb has reached the end of its rated lifespan, it may need replacement.
