7. Operating Instructions
The Emotionlite Dusk to Dawn Sensor LED Light Bulb operates automatically based on ambient light conditions:
- At Dusk: When the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold (indicating nightfall), the built-in sensor will activate the bulb, causing it to illuminate.
- At Dawn: When the ambient light level rises above a certain threshold (indicating daylight), the sensor will deactivate the bulb, turning it off.
Ensure the light switch connected to the fixture remains in the 'ON' position for the automatic function to work. There is no need to manually turn the light on or off daily.
