Press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the three available lighting modes:
- Mode 1 (Dim Light Mode): The light stays at a dim brightness throughout the night without motion sensor activation.
- Mode 2 (Dim Light Sensor Mode): The light stays at a dim brightness at night. When motion is detected, it switches to high brightness. After motion ceases, it returns to dim brightness.
- Mode 3 (High Light Sensor Mode): The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it turns on at high brightness. After motion ceases, it turns off.
