6. Operating Instructions
The BesLowe A923 features three distinct lighting modes, easily switchable with a single press on the integrated sensor button.
Mode Selection:
Press the sensor button located on the fixture to cycle through the modes:
- Dual-bright Mode: The light turns on at a low brightness (adjustable 15-50%) at dusk. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for a set duration, then returns to the low brightness. This mode is ideal for security and ambient lighting.
- ON/OFF Mode: The light remains off at dusk. When motion is detected, it turns on at 100% brightness for a set duration, then turns off completely. This mode is energy-saving and suitable for areas requiring light only when occupied.
- Manual Override Mode: To activate, quickly turn the wall switch 'off-on-off-on' within 2 seconds. The light will stay on at 100% brightness for approximately 6-8 hours, then automatically revert to the previously selected motion sensor mode (Dual-bright or ON/OFF) at dawn. This mode is useful for extended periods of full illumination, such as during outdoor gatherings.

Adjusting Low Brightness (Dual-bright Mode Only):
While in Dual-bright mode, long-press the sensor button to adjust the low brightness level between 15%, 40% (default), and 50%. Release the button when the desired brightness is reached.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your outdoor wall lights.
- Cleaning: Clean the fixture periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or glass. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
- Bulb Replacement: Due to the open-bottom design, bulb replacement is straightforward. Turn off power, unscrew the old E26 bulb, and screw in a new one (100W Max).
- Weather Resistance: The fixture is designed to be weather-resistant. However, inspect it occasionally for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather conditions.
