3. Setup and Installation
This security light is designed for wall mount, flush mount installation and requires hardwiring to an electrical circuit. Ensure power is disconnected before beginning installation.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Wiring: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Ensure the existing wiring is suitable for the fixture's requirements (120V).
- Mounting Plate Installation: Secure the mounting plate to the junction box on the wall using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Wire Connections: Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring:
- Black (Live) to Black (Live)
- White (Neutral) to White (Neutral)
- Green/Bare Copper (Ground) to Green/Bare Copper (Ground)
- Fixture Attachment: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting plate and secure it with the provided screws. Ensure no wires are pinched.
- Adjust Light Heads and Sensor: Adjust the two light heads and the motion sensor to your desired angles for optimal coverage. The light heads can be rotated and tilted.
- Restore Power: Turn on power at the circuit breaker.

4. Operating Instructions
The DEERDANCE security light offers three operating modes and adjustable sensor settings.
Operating Modes:
- ON Mode: The light will remain continuously on. You can turn it on or off using your wall switch.
- Dusk to Dawn (D2D) Mode: The light automatically turns on at dusk and turns off at dawn. This mode provides continuous illumination during nighttime hours.
- Motion Sensor Mode (Default): The light automatically turns on when the sensor detects motion within its range and turns off after a set duration if no further motion is detected.

Motion Sensor Adjustable Settings:
The motion sensor features three adjustable dials to customize its behavior. These dials are typically located on the underside of the sensor unit.

- Dial 1 (Time): Adjusts the duration of time the light stays on after motion is detected and no further motion is sensed.
- Dial 2 (Lux/Ambient Light): Adjusts the ambient light level at which the light will activate. This determines how dark it needs to be for the motion sensor or D2D mode to function.
- Dial 3 (Sensitivity/Distance): Adjusts the sensitivity of the motion sensor, which controls the detection range (up to 50 feet) and angle (160°).

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your DEERDANCE LED Security Light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light heads and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose wiring, or corrosion. Ensure all mounting screws are tight.
- Weather Resistance: The IP66 rating protects against strong jets of water and dust. However, extreme weather conditions may still require inspection.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DEERDANCE LED Security Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, incorrect wiring, sensor settings too low. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Adjust Lux (ambient light) dial to a higher sensitivity. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Sensor in ON mode, continuous motion, sensor malfunction. | Ensure sensor is not set to ON mode. Check for constant motion in detection area. Adjust Time dial to a shorter duration. |
| Light turns on during the day. | Lux (ambient light) dial set too high. | Adjust Lux dial to a lower sensitivity so it only activates in darker conditions. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Sensitivity too low, obstruction, incorrect angle. | Adjust Sensitivity/Distance dial to a higher setting. Clear any obstructions from the sensor's view. Re-angle the sensor for optimal coverage. |
| Light flickers or dims. | Unstable power supply, loose connection. | Consult a qualified electrician to check power supply and wiring connections. |
| Plastic hinge point for motion detector appears weak. | Manufacturing variation or overtightening during installation. | Ensure the motion detector is securely but not excessively tightened during installation to prevent stress on plastic components. Handle with care during adjustment. |
