6.2 Operating Modes
The security light supports two operating modes: Dusk to Dawn and Always On, controlled via your wall switch.
Dusk to Dawn Mode
In this mode, the built-in photocell sensor automatically turns the light on when ambient brightness is below 10 LUX (nighttime) and turns it off when brightness exceeds 50 LUX (daytime).
- To activate: Turn the wall switch ON. The light will automatically enter Dusk to Dawn mode.
- Note: This light is hardwired, not solar-powered, and does not include a motion sensor.

Always On Mode
This mode allows the light to remain on continuously, regardless of ambient light conditions.
- To activate: Flip the wall switch twice (ON-OFF-ON) within 3 seconds. The light will flash twice to confirm entry into Always On mode.
- To return to Dusk to Dawn Mode: Turn off the light and wait for 5 seconds, then turn it back on. It will revert to Dusk to Dawn mode by default.
