4. Operating Instructions
The DAKAFUL Dusk to Dawn Outdoor Lighting Sensor Wall Lights are designed for automatic operation based on ambient light levels.
- Automatic On/Off: The built-in photocell sensor detects surrounding brightness. The lights will automatically turn on when it gets dark and turn off when daylight is detected.
- Sensor Placement: For optimal performance, ensure the photocell sensor (typically located on the fixture) is not obstructed and is positioned to accurately detect ambient light. Some users have found that orienting the sensor towards the ground can prevent flickering issues caused by reflected light.
