6. Operating Instructions
This PARTPHONER LED Wall Sconce is equipped with a built-in dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor for automatic operation. The sensor detects ambient light levels to control the fixture:
- Automatic ON: The light will automatically turn on when the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold (e.g., at dusk).
- Automatic OFF: The light will automatically turn off when the ambient light level rises above a certain threshold (e.g., at dawn).
Ensure the photocell sensor, located on the top of the fixture, is not obstructed by any objects, debris, or direct artificial light sources, as this may interfere with its proper function.
