6. Operating Modes
Your VIANIS outdoor wall lantern features four distinct operating modes, easily switchable via the sensor button. The indicator light on the sensor will change color to show the current mode.
- DIM Mode (Red Indicator Light): At night, the light maintains 30% brightness. When motion is detected, it switches to 100% brightness. It automatically turns off during the daytime.
- ECO+ Mode (Green Indicator Light): The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it turns on at 100% brightness. It automatically turns off during the daytime.
- D2D Mode (Blue Indicator Light): The light turns on at 100% brightness at dusk and automatically turns off at dawn. Motion sensing is inactive in this mode.
- Override Mode (Indicator Light OFF): To activate, quickly turn the light OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will maintain 100% brightness for approximately 8 hours, then automatically turn off at dawn and return to the previously selected automatic mode.
