Operating Instructions

The Feit Electric LED Flood Light is equipped with advanced sensors for automated operation. The light features adjustable heads and a movable motion sensor for optimal coverage.

Adjusting Light Heads and Sensor:

The two LED light heads can be independently adjusted to direct illumination where needed. The motion sensor can also be rotated to optimize its detection area, allowing you to focus on specific zones like a doorway or a wider yard area.

Sensor Settings:

The motion sensor unit includes controls for adjusting sensitivity and timer duration. These controls are typically located on the underside of the sensor module.

  • Sensitivity: Adjusts how easily the sensor detects motion. Options may include settings for detecting motion up to 50 feet away.
  • Timer: Sets the duration the light remains on after motion is detected. Common settings include 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes.
  • Dusk-to-Dawn (D2D): This setting enables the built-in light sensor to automatically turn the flood light on when ambient light levels drop (dusk) and turn it off when light levels rise (dawn).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Feit Electric LED Flood Light, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Light Not Turning On:
    • Check the power supply at the circuit breaker.
    • Ensure the dusk-to-dawn sensor is not being affected by ambient light (e.g., streetlights, other outdoor lights).
    • Verify motion sensor settings (sensitivity and timer).
  • Light Stays On Continuously:
    • Check motion sensor sensitivity; reduce if necessary to avoid false triggers from distant objects or animals.
    • Ensure the dusk-to-dawn sensor is not obstructed or malfunctioning, preventing it from detecting daylight.
  • Light Flashes or Flickers:
    • Check for loose wiring connections.
    • Ensure stable power supply.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact Feit Electric customer support or consult a qualified electrician.
