3. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and wired, the Philips Stonco LED Slim Outdoor Floodlight operates by simply applying power to the circuit. There are no user-adjustable controls on the fixture itself for basic operation.
- Power On/Off: Control the floodlight using an external switch, timer, or photocell connected to the circuit.
- Light Output: The fixture provides a consistent 4000K neutral white light with a brightness of 5472 lumens.
- Control Method: While the product specifications mention "App" as a control method, this typically refers to integration with smart home systems or external smart controllers, not a built-in app control for the fixture itself. Consult your smart system's manual for integration details if applicable.
4. Maintenance
The Philips Stonco LED Slim Outdoor Floodlight is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and long-life LED technology. However, periodic inspection and cleaning can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning:
- Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning.
- Gently wipe the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or high-pressure water sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Inspection:
- Periodically check the mounting hardware to ensure it remains secure.
- Inspect the power cord for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and have it replaced by a qualified professional.
- Verify that the fixture's seals (e.g., around the lens) are intact to maintain its IP65 rating.
