Mode Selection: Locate the toggle switch on the front of the unit. Press the switch to cycle through the available modes:

• Mode 1 (Motion Sensor Full Brightness): The light remains off until motion is detected. Upon detection, it illuminates at full brightness (300 lumens) for a set duration (e.g., 15-30 seconds), then turns off.

• Mode 3 (Constant Dim Light): The light stays on at a constant dim level from dusk till dawn, without motion sensor activation.
• Off: The light remains off.

Note: The exact duration and dimming levels may vary slightly. Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for precise specifications if needed.
