6. Operating Instructions
Your VIANIS outdoor light fixture features an upgraded motion sensor with multiple working modes and adjustable brightness.
6.1. One-Key Mode Switching
Switch between modes by pressing the sensor button located on top of the fixture. The indicator light will change color to confirm the selected mode:
- DIM Mode (Red Light): The light stays at a low brightness (adjustable 10%-50%) at night. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% and returns to low brightness after motion ceases.
- ECO Mode (Green Light): The light remains off at night. When motion is detected, it turns on at 100% brightness and turns off after motion ceases.
- D2D Mode (Blue Light): The light turns on at 100% brightness at dusk and automatically turns off at dawn. Motion sensing is not active in this mode.

6.2. Override Mode
To activate Override Mode, quickly turn the light switch OFF and then ON within 2 seconds. The light will maintain 100% brightness for approximately 8 hours, then automatically turn off at dawn and revert to the previously selected operating mode.

6.3. Brightness Adjustment (DIM Mode)
In DIM Mode, you can adjust the standby brightness between 15% and 50%. To adjust, long-press the sensor button until the desired brightness is reached.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light flickers | Non-dimmable bulb used with dimming function. | Replace with a dimmable LED bulb. |
| Motion sensor not detecting or over-detecting | Sensing range needs adjustment. | Adjust the sensor's detection range (Far, Medium, Nearest) as described in Section 6.4. |
| Light does not turn on at dusk (D2D mode) | Insufficient darkness detected by sensor. | Ensure the sensor is not obstructed and is in an area that receives natural light. |
| Light stays on 100% brightness constantly | Override Mode is active. | The light will automatically revert to the previous mode after approximately 8 hours or at dawn. |
