2. Operating Modes

The light has two primary operating modes, controlled by your wall switch:

• Dusk to Dawn (D2D) Mode: In this mode, the light automatically turns on when ambient light levels are low (at dusk) and turns off when ambient light levels are high (at dawn).
• Always On Mode: In this mode, the light remains on continuously, regardless of ambient light.

To switch between modes:

• For D2D Mode: Quickly turn the wall switch OFF then ON. The light will flash once to indicate D2D mode is active.
• For Always On Mode: Quickly turn the wall switch OFF, then ON, then OFF, then ON again (OFF-ON-OFF-ON) within 3 seconds. The light will flash twice to indicate Always On mode is active.
