Installation (Setup)
Pre-Installation
- Turn off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light switch or outlet where you intend to install the fixture and turn off the power.
- Prepare Wiring: Ensure the existing electrical box is securely mounted and accessible.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the fixture and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
Mounting Steps
- Attach Mounting Plate: Secure the mounting plate to the electrical box using the provided screws. Ensure the plate is level and firmly attached.
- Wire Connections: Connect the electrical wires according to local electrical codes. Typically, connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the electrical box, the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the electrical box, and the ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the electrical box. Use wire nuts to secure connections.
- Mount Fixture: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting plate and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure no wires are pinched.
- Install Bulb: Screw an E26 base bulb (not included) into the socket. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Operating Modes
Your Lamomo Motion Sensor Outdoor Wall Light features three distinct operating modes, selectable via a switch on the fixture:
- TEST Mode: This mode is for adjusting the motion detector sensitivity. The light will turn on when motion is detected and turn off approximately 5 seconds after motion ceases. This mode operates regardless of ambient light levels (day or night).
- AUTO Mode: In this mode, the light will automatically turn on when it detects moving heat sources within its coverage area (0-30 feet, 180°). The light will remain on for a user-defined duration (adjustable from 5 seconds to 3 minutes) after motion stops, then turn off automatically. This mode is active only when ambient light levels are low (dusk/night).
- PC Mode (Dusk to Dawn): The light will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, regardless of motion detection. This mode provides continuous illumination throughout the night.
Adjusting Settings (AUTO Mode)
The fixture includes adjustable dials for 'TIME' and 'SENSITIVITY' (often labeled 'TEST AUTO PC SENSITIVITY' on the sensor unit). These adjustments primarily apply to AUTO mode:
- TIME: Adjust this dial to set how long the light remains on after motion is no longer detected (from 5 seconds to 3 minutes).
- SENSITIVITY: Adjust this dial to control the detection range and sensitivity of the motion sensor. Higher sensitivity detects motion at greater distances and with smaller movements.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your outdoor wall light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or sensor. Ensure the motion sensor lens is clear of dirt and debris for accurate detection.
- Bulb Replacement: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing the bulb. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before removal. Replace with an E26 base bulb, adhering to the maximum wattage specifications.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening. Tighten any loose screws and replace damaged components if necessary.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, faulty bulb, incorrect wiring, sensor blocked. | Check circuit breaker. Replace bulb. Verify wiring connections. Clear sensor lens. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Fixture in PC mode, constant motion detected, sensor malfunction. | Switch to AUTO or TEST mode. Ensure no continuous motion in sensor's field of view. Contact support if issue persists. |
| Light turns on randomly. | High sensitivity, environmental factors (wind, animals). | Reduce sensor sensitivity. Adjust sensor angle to avoid unwanted triggers. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | Low sensitivity, sensor blocked, incorrect mode. | Increase sensor sensitivity. Clear sensor lens. Ensure fixture is in TEST or AUTO mode. |
| Light flickers. | Loose wiring, incompatible bulb (non-dimmable with sensor), faulty bulb. | Check wiring connections. Use a dimmable E26 LED bulb. Replace bulb. |
