Setup and Installation
The Good Earth Lighting LED Outdoor Security Flood Light offers two installation methods: plug-in or direct wire. Choose the method that best suits your needs.
1. Plug-in Installation
For plug-in installation, ensure you have a readily accessible 20-amp GFCI outdoor outlet. The light comes with a power cord for this purpose.

- Select a suitable mounting location near a 20-amp GFCI outdoor outlet.
- Secure the mounting bracket to the wall or eave using appropriate screws and wall anchors (if needed).
- Route the power cord through the designated opening in the mounting base. The base has punch-out sections to accommodate the cord for a flush mount.
- Attach the light fixture to the mounting bracket.
- Plug the power cord into the GFCI outlet.
2. Direct Wire Installation
For direct wire installation, the pre-attached plug can be removed. This method requires connecting the light directly to a junction box.

- WARNING: Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning.
- If converting from plug-in to direct wire, carefully cut off the plug from the power cord.
- Strip the insulation from the wires to expose the copper conductors.
- Secure the mounting bracket to the junction box.
- Connect the light's wires to the corresponding household wires (black to black, white to white, ground to ground) using wire nuts.
- Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box.
- Attach the light fixture to the mounting bracket, ensuring a secure and weather-tight seal.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.
Operating Instructions
The flood light features a motion sensor with adjustable settings for optimal performance.

Motion Sensor Settings:
- Range Adjustment: Use the "RANGE" dial to set the motion detection distance. The sensor can detect motion up to 70 feet with a 180-degree detection angle.
- Timer Adjustment: Use the "TIMER" dial to set how long the light remains on after motion is detected. Options typically range from 1 to 10 minutes.
- Preset Setting: The light comes with a preset setting of 50 feet detection range and a 3-minute timer.
Adjust the individual light heads to direct illumination precisely where needed for maximum coverage.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord (if applicable) and all connections for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- LEDs: The integrated LED lights are designed for long life (up to 50,000 hours) and are not user-replaceable.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, faulty connection, or sensor issue. | Check power supply and circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Ensure the motion sensor is not obstructed. |
| Light stays on continuously. | Sensor sensitivity too high, or constant motion detected. | Adjust the "RANGE" dial to a lower sensitivity. Ensure there are no constant heat sources or moving objects within the detection zone. |
| Light turns on for no apparent reason. | Sensor detecting small animals, wind-blown objects, or distant heat sources. | Reduce the "RANGE" setting. Reposition the sensor to avoid unwanted triggers. |
| Light does not detect motion effectively. | Sensor range too low, or sensor obstructed. | Increase the "RANGE" setting. Clear any obstructions from the sensor's view. Ensure the sensor is aimed correctly. |
