Operating Instructions
Your Feit Electric LED Security Flood Light is equipped with both a motion sensor and dusk-to-dawn technology for automated operation.
Dusk-to-Dawn Functionality:
The integrated photocell sensor automatically detects ambient light levels. The light will remain off during daylight hours and activate its motion sensing capabilities only when it gets dark. This ensures energy efficiency by preventing the light from operating unnecessarily during the day.

Motion Sensor Operation:
Once the dusk-to-dawn sensor detects darkness, the motion sensor becomes active. It detects movement within a 180-degree range and up to 60 feet away. Upon detecting motion, the flood light will illuminate to its full 5000 lumens. After a period of no detected motion, the light will automatically turn off or dim down to 500 lumens if configured for lower light levels.
Adjusting Light Heads:
The three LED light heads are independently adjustable, allowing you to direct the light output up to 270 degrees of coverage. Loosen the adjustment screws on each head, position the light as desired, and then securely tighten the screws.
Maintenance
The Feit Electric LED Security Flood Light is designed for low maintenance and durability, featuring rugged, weather-resistant aluminum housing and shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses.
Cleaning:
- Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or lenses.
Inspection:
- Periodically inspect the fixture for any signs of damage to the housing or wiring.
- Check that the mounting remains secure.
