Motion Detection
The integrated motion detector automatically activates the light when movement is detected within its range. This feature conserves energy and provides light only when needed.
Operating Modes
The bollard offers 3 distinct operating modes. Refer to the product's specific instructions or the remote control (if included) for details on how to switch between these modes. Typically, these modes include:
- Mode 1: Dim light always on at night, brightens upon motion detection.
- Mode 2: Light off at night, brightens upon motion detection, then turns off.
- Mode 3: Constant medium brightness light at night (no motion detection).
The light delivers 600 lumens of cold white illumination when activated.
