- Adjustable Brightness: Select between Low Mode (1000 Lumens) and High Mode (2000 Lumens).
- Sensor Time: Set the duration the light stays on after motion detection to 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 120 seconds.
- Motion Sensitivity: The motion sensor module includes a dial for adjusting sensitivity.

- Verify the connection cord between the solar panel and the floodlight is securely attached.
- Allow the unit to charge for a full day in direct sunlight before first use or after extended periods of low light.
- Motion Sensor Not Activating:
- Confirm the motion sensor is clean and unobstructed.
- Adjust the motion sensitivity dial to a higher setting.
- Ensure the unit is installed within the recommended detection range.
- Light Stays On Too Long/Too Short:
- Adjust the 'Sensor Time' setting to your desired duration (30s, 60s, or 120s).
