- Dusk to Dawn (D2D) Mode: The light automatically turns on when ambient light levels are low (night) and turns off when light levels are high (day). This mode is activated by pressing the 'D2D' button on the remote.
- Always-on Mode: The light can be manually turned on or off using the remote control or your home's wall switch. Activate this mode by pressing the 'Always ON' button on the remote.
Note: This flood light does not have a motion sensor and is not solar-powered.
6.2. Remote Control Functions
Point the remote control directly at the light fixture for optimal response.
- ON/OFF: Use the red and green buttons to turn the light on or off in Always-on mode.
- Brightness Adjustment: In Always-on mode, use the brightness buttons (e.g., 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) to set the desired light intensity.
- Timing Function (D2D Mode): In Dusk to Dawn mode, you can set the light to stay on for a specific duration after activation. Press the '2H', '4H', '6H', '8H', or '12H' buttons to set the timer. The light will turn off after the set time.
- Slight Bright ON/OFF (D2D Mode): After the timing function ends in D2D mode, you can choose for the light to either turn completely OFF or remain at 15% brightness (Slight Bright ON). Use the 'Slight Bright ON' or 'Slight Bright OFF' buttons to select this behavior.
