Operating Instructions

The LUTEC 80W Flood Light features a built-in photocell sensor for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. No manual intervention is typically required once installed correctly.

Dusk to Dawn Functionality

• At Dusk: The integrated photocell sensor detects decreasing ambient light levels. When it gets dark, the light will automatically turn on to full brightness.
• Throughout the Night: The light remains on at full brightness, providing continuous illumination.
• At Dawn: As ambient light levels increase, the photocell sensor detects daylight, and the light will automatically turn off.

This image visually explains the dusk-to-dawn functionality, showing the light automatically turning on at dusk and off at dawn based on ambient light detection.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LUTEC 80W Dusk to Dawn Flood Light, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the light heads and photocell sensor with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct light output or sensor function. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the waterproof seals remain intact.
• Power Cycle: If the light is not functioning as expected, try turning off the power at the circuit breaker for a few minutes, then restoring it. This can sometimes resolve minor electrical glitches.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LUTEC 80W Dusk to Dawn Flood Light, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Light Not Turning On at Night:
  • Ensure the power supply to the fixture is active.
  • Check if the photocell sensor is obstructed by dirt, debris, or external light sources (e.g., another bright light nearby). Clean the sensor or reposition the light if necessary.
  • Verify that the ambient light is sufficiently dark for the sensor to activate.
• Light Not Turning Off During Day:
  • Ensure the photocell sensor is not obstructed, preventing it from detecting daylight.
  • Confirm that there are no external light sources shining directly onto the sensor during daylight hours.
• Flickering or Intermittent Operation:
  • Check all electrical connections for tightness and proper insulation.
  • Ensure the voltage supply is stable and within the specified range (120 Volts).

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
