Operating Instructions
Your VIANIS Motion Sensor Outdoor Wall Lantern features advanced motion-activated and dusk-to-dawn sensor technology with multiple operating modes.
Motion Sensor & Dusk-to-Dawn Functionality
The fixture automatically turns on at sunset and off at dawn. It integrates a PIR motion sensor with a super wide range of up to 40 feet and a 220° wide detection angle.
Operating Modes
The lantern offers two primary standby modes and a manual override mode, easily switchable with a single button.
- 1. DIM MODE (Default):
At sunset, the light automatically turns on at 30% brightness. When motion is detected, it illuminates to 100% brightness. After approximately 2 minutes without motion, it reverts to 30% brightness. The light turns off automatically at dawn. - 2. ECO+ MODE:
At sunset, the light remains off. When motion is detected, it illuminates to 100% brightness. After approximately 2 minutes without motion, it turns off completely. The light remains off automatically at dawn. - 3. Manual Override Mode:
To activate, quickly turn the wall switch OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will stay on at 100% brightness for 8 hours, then automatically return to the last selected motion sensor mode (DIM or ECO+).
Switching Modes
The lantern features a convenient one-click mode switch button located on the fixture. Press this button to cycle between DIM MODE and ECO+ MODE. The light will remember your last setting.
