Available Modes:
- DIM Mode: At night, the light maintains 30% brightness. When motion is detected, it illuminates to 100% brightness. After motion ceases, it returns to 30% brightness.
- ECO+ Mode: The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it turns on to 100% brightness. It turns off again when no motion is detected.
- Dusk-to-Dawn (D2D) Mode: The light automatically turns on to 100% brightness at dusk and turns off automatically at dawn. Motion sensing is not active in this mode.
- Override Mode: To activate, quickly turn the light off and on within 2 seconds. The light will maintain 100% brightness for approximately 8 hours, then automatically turn off at dawn and revert to the previously selected operating mode.
Brightness Adjustment (Integrated Dimmer):
In DIM mode, the initial brightness (30%) can be adjusted. Long press the mode switch button to smoothly adjust the brightness from 15% to 100%.
