  • Electrical Safety: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before installing, servicing, or cleaning the fixture. Ensure proper grounding.
  • Qualified Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or a person with adequate knowledge of electrical wiring.
  • GFCI Outlets: The built-in GFCI outlets provide ground fault protection. Test the GFCI outlets monthly by pressing the "TEST" button, then the "RESET" button. If the outlet does not trip or reset, discontinue use and consult a qualified electrician.
  • Bulb Type: Use only INCANDESCENT or DIMMABLE LED bulbs with an E26 base, up to 60 watts. Non-dimmable LED bulbs may not function correctly in all lighting modes.
  • Outdoor Use Only: This fixture is designed for outdoor use in wet locations. Do not submerge or expose to extreme conditions beyond its weatherproof rating.
  • Weight Capacity: Do not hang objects from the fixture or its outlets.

3. Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:

  • Outdoor Wall Light Body (1)
  • Mounting Hardware (Screws, Wire Nuts, Mounting Plate)

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Lighting Modes

The fixture offers three distinct lighting modes, selectable via a switch located on the unit:

  • Auto+ Mode:
    At night, the light maintains a dim illumination (20%-50% adjustable brightness). Upon detection of motion, the light brightens to 100% output. After 20-180 seconds (adjustable) of no motion, it returns to the dim state. This mode is ideal for energy saving while providing security lighting on demand.
    Explanation of Auto+ lighting mode

    Figure 5.1.1: Auto+ Mode operation.

  • Auto Mode:
    The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it illuminates to 100% brightness. After 20-180 seconds (adjustable) of no motion, the light turns off completely. This mode is suitable for areas where light is only needed when activity is present.
    Explanation of Auto lighting mode

    Figure 5.1.2: Auto Mode operation.

  • PC Mode (Photocell Mode):
    The light automatically turns on at dusk and turns off at dawn, based on ambient light levels. Motion sensing is not active in this mode. This mode provides continuous illumination during nighttime hours.

5.2. GFCI Outlet Usage

The fixture includes two built-in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for enhanced safety and convenient power access. These outlets are suitable for 2-prong and 3-prong plugs and support a maximum of 15A (1800W).

  • Operation: After installation, press the "TEST" button on the GFCI outlet, then the "RESET" button to activate the outlet. The green indicator light should illuminate.
  • Applications: Ideal for powering outdoor devices such as security cameras, string lights, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, or barbecue grills.

5.3. PIR Motion Sensor Functionality

The built-in PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor detects movement within its range, activating the light in Auto and Auto+ modes.

  • Sensing Angle: 140 degrees
  • Detection Range: 10-33 feet (3-10 meters)
  • Adjustable Settings: The sensor's sensitivity (Sens) and lighting duration (Time) can be adjusted. The dim brightness level in Auto+ mode (Low Level) is also adjustable (20%-50%).

6. Care and Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your outdoor light fixture.

  • Cleaning: Turn off power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as they may damage the finish or glass.
  • Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing the bulb. Allow the bulb to cool completely before handling.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the fixture is securely mounted.
  • Weather Resistance: The fixture is designed to be weatherproof (waterproof, snowproof, sunproof, windproof). However, extreme weather conditions may require additional inspection after the event.
