Operating Instructions
Motion Detection
The integrated motion sensor provides a wide 180-degree detection zone, covering an area of approximately 50 feet (15 meters). This ensures that motion from various angles will activate the light, enhancing security around your property.

MOTIONBRIGHT 2-Level Lighting
The MOTIONBRIGHT feature provides intelligent lighting control. When no motion is detected, the light maintains a constant low ambient illumination. Upon detection of motion, the light automatically switches to full brightness, providing ample light for security and visibility. This feature helps save energy while maintaining a sense of safety.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your flood light, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, faulty wiring, sensor malfunction. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Ensure sensor is not obstructed. |
| Light stays on constantly. | Sensor in test mode, continuous motion, faulty sensor. | Check sensor settings (not in TEST mode). Ensure no constant motion in detection zone. |
| Light turns on for no apparent reason. | Sensor sensitivity too high, environmental factors (wind, small animals). | Adjust sensor sensitivity to a lower setting. Reposition light to avoid false triggers. |
| Light flickers. | Loose wiring connection, power fluctuations. | Check and tighten all wiring connections. Consult an electrician if power fluctuations persist. |
