5.1 Lumen and Color Temperature Selection
Before powering on the fixture, locate the selector switches on the side or back of the unit. These switches allow you to choose the desired lumen output and color temperature.
- Lumen Output Options: 9,540 lm, 12,320 lm, 14,800 lm
- Color Temperature Options: 3000K (Warm White), 4000K (Cool White), 5000K (Daylight)
Set the switches to your preferred combination. Changes made while the fixture is powered may not take effect immediately or may require a power cycle.
5.2 Photocell Operation
The integrated photocell automatically turns the fixture ON at dusk and OFF at dawn. Ensure the photocell sensor is not obstructed by objects, dirt, or debris, as this can interfere with its operation.
Once power is restored to the fixture, it will operate according to the photocell's light detection. There is no manual override for the photocell unless specified in advanced models (not applicable to this model).
