5. Setup and Installation
The Meloght flood light features a plug-in design for straightforward installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:
Mounting Location Selection
- Choose a suitable outdoor location for mounting, such as a wall or soffit, ensuring it provides the desired illumination coverage.
- Ensure the location is within reach of a standard 100-120V outdoor power outlet that can be protected from weather.
- For optimal motion detection, mount the light where the sensor has an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored. Avoid aiming the sensor at heat sources or reflective surfaces that could cause false triggers.
Installation Steps
- Prepare the Mounting Surface: Mark the desired mounting points for the bracket on the wall or soffit.
- Install the Mounting Bracket: Use the provided screws and anchors to securely attach the mounting bracket to the surface.
- Attach the Light Fixture: Align the flood light with the installed bracket and secure it firmly.
- Adjust Light Heads and Sensor: Loosen the adjustment screws on the light heads and motion sensor to position them for optimal coverage and detection. Tighten the screws once adjusted.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power cord into a protected 100-120V outdoor electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is weatherproof or the plug connection is otherwise shielded from moisture.

6. Operating Instructions
The Meloght flood light offers multiple operating modes and adjustable settings. The control dials are located on the underside of the motion sensor unit.
Control Dials
- TIME Dial: Adjusts how long the light stays on after motion is detected (typically 10 seconds to 10 minutes).
- LUX/D2D Dial: Sets the ambient light level at which the sensor becomes active. Turn towards the sun icon for daytime operation (Test Mode) or towards the moon icon for night-only operation (Dusk to Dawn).
- SENS (Sensitivity) Dial: Adjusts the motion sensor's detection range and sensitivity.
Operating Modes
The flood light supports the following modes:
- Motion Sensor Mode: The light activates at 100% brightness when motion is detected in low light conditions and turns off after a set duration (adjustable via TIME dial) once motion ceases.
- Dim Mode: In low light conditions, the light stays on continuously at a low brightness level (10-30%). When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for a set duration, then returns to the dim state after motion ceases.
- Dusk to Dawn (D2D) Mode: The flood light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn, providing continuous illumination throughout the night. Motion sensing is typically overridden or integrated differently depending on the specific D2D setting.
- Test Mode: Used during installation to verify motion sensor functionality. Set the LUX dial to the 'sun' icon and TIME to minimum. The light will activate with motion regardless of ambient light.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your flood light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. Check mounting screws for tightness.
- Weather Protection: While the fixture is IP65 rated, ensure the plug connection remains protected from direct rain or snow. Consider using a weatherproof outlet cover.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Meloght flood light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | No power; LUX setting too high; Sensor obstructed. | Check power connection. Adjust LUX dial towards 'moon' icon. Clear any obstructions from the sensor. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Continuous motion detected; LUX setting too low (towards 'sun'); Wiring issue. | Ensure no constant motion in detection area. Adjust LUX dial towards 'moon' icon. If hardwired, check wiring. |
| Light flashes or cycles on/off rapidly. | Interference; Power fluctuations; Sensor malfunction. | Check for nearby heat sources or reflective surfaces. Ensure stable power supply. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Motion sensor range is too short/long. | SENS dial setting; Sensor angle. | Adjust the SENS dial. Reposition the motion sensor head for optimal coverage. |
| Light turns on during the day. | LUX setting too low (towards 'sun'). | Adjust the LUX dial towards the 'moon' icon to ensure it only activates in low light. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
