- 1 x nipify Outdoor Motion Sensor Light
- Mounting Hardware (screws, wall anchors)
- Instruction Manual
5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Step 1: Prepare the Mounting Surface. Drill holes at the desired installation location and insert the plastic wall anchors.
- Step 2: Mount the Junction Box Base. Use screws to securely attach the junction box base onto the wall.
- Step 3: Connect Wiring. Connect the live, neutral, and ground wires from your electrical supply to the corresponding terminals on the light fixture. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Step 4: Attach the Fixture. Mount the light fixture onto the wall base and tighten the screws to secure it.
The recommended installation height is between 1.8 to 5 meters for optimal motion detection.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Lighting Modes
The light offers three distinct operating modes, selectable via the LUX sensor dial:
- Mode 1: Security Mode (LUX: 0-50). The light maintains 10% brightness when no motion is detected. Upon motion detection, it illuminates at 100% brightness.
- Mode 2: Night Motion Sensor Mode (LUX: 60-200). The light remains off until motion is detected at night, then illuminates at 100% brightness. This mode is recommended for energy saving.
- Mode 3: Motion Detection Mode (LUX: Max). The light activates at 100% brightness upon motion detection, regardless of ambient light conditions (day or night).

6.2. Color Temperature Adjustment
The light allows for adjustment of its color temperature from 2700K to 6500K. This can be set to match your preference or environment:
- 2700K-3000K: Warm white, ideal for a cozy garden ambiance.
- 4000K-5000K: Neutral white, suitable for general nighttime illumination.
- 6000K-6500K: Cool white, providing bright security lighting.

6.3. Sensor Adjustments (LUX, TIME, SENSOR)
The light features adjustable dials for LUX (ambient light sensitivity), TIME (illumination duration), and SENSOR (motion detection sensitivity/distance).
- LUX Dial: Controls the ambient light level at which the motion sensor becomes active. Turn towards 'sun' for day and night detection, towards 'moon' for night-only detection.
- TIME Dial: Adjusts how long the light stays on after motion is detected. Settings typically range from 6 seconds to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
- SENSOR Dial: Modifies the motion detection range, from a minimum of 1 meter up to 8 meters. For optimal performance, it is recommended to turn the button to the furthest position.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the light fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly check the wiring and mounting for any signs of damage or loosening.
- Environmental Factors: While the light is IP65 rated, extreme conditions like prolonged heavy snow or ice accumulation may require manual clearing to ensure optimal performance.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power supply; faulty wiring; sensor settings incorrect. | Check power connection; verify wiring; adjust LUX and SENSOR dials. |
| Light stays on continuously. | TIME dial set too high; continuous motion in detection zone; LUX dial set to maximum. | Adjust TIME dial to a shorter duration; ensure no constant motion; adjust LUX dial. |
| Light flashes or flickers. | Unstable power supply; loose wiring. | Check power source stability; inspect and secure all wiring connections. |
| Motion sensor not detecting. | SENSOR dial set too low; obstruction in detection path; incorrect installation height. | Increase SENSOR sensitivity; clear obstructions; verify installation height (1.8-5m). |
