Operating Instructions
The VIANIS Motion Sensor Outdoor Wall Lantern features smart sensors and multiple operating modes.
Mode Switching
The light offers three distinct operating modes, easily switchable with a single button press on the fixture. An indicator light will confirm the selected mode.
Image: Diagram illustrating the one-click mode switching feature and the different indicator light colors for each mode.
- DIM MODE (Red Indicator Light):
At night, the light stays at 30% brightness. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100%. After 2 minutes without motion, it returns to 30% brightness. Automatically turns off at dawn.
Image: Visual representation of the DIM Mode: auto-off during daytime, 30% dim at night, 100% with motion, then back to 30%.
- ECO+ MODE (Green Indicator Light):
At night, the light remains off. When motion is detected, it turns on to 100% brightness. After 2 minutes without motion, it turns completely off. Automatically turns off at dawn.
Image: Visual representation of the ECO+ Mode: auto-off during daytime, off at night, 100% with motion, then back to off.
- D2D MODE (Blue Indicator Light):
The light automatically turns on at dusk and stays at 100% brightness throughout the night. It automatically turns off at dawn. Motion sensor functionality is inactive in this mode.
Image: Visual representation of the D2D Mode: light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn, staying at 100% brightness.
- Manual Override Mode (Indicator Light OFF):
To activate, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will stay at 100% brightness for 8 hours, then automatically return to the previously selected auto mode. This mode is useful for extended periods of full illumination.
