Operating Instructions
The BesLowe A923 features an advanced PIR motion sensor and photocell sensor, offering three distinct lighting modes for intelligent and energy-efficient illumination. Mode switching is simplified with a single button.
Understanding Lighting Modes
- Dual-bright Mode: The light stays at a low brightness (default 40%, adjustable 15-50%) at night. When motion is detected, it brightens to 100% for a set duration, then returns to low brightness. Ideal for security.
- ON/OFF Mode: The light remains off until motion is detected, then illuminates at 100% brightness. It turns off again after no motion is detected. This mode helps save electricity.
- Manual Override Mode: The light stays on at 100% brightness for 6-8 hours after activation. It automatically turns off at dawn and reverts to the previously selected motion-sensing mode (Dual-bright or ON/OFF). Perfect for extended outdoor activities.
Switching Modes
The mode can be easily switched using the discreet button located on the fixture's top panel. A single click cycles through the available modes.
Adjusting Brightness (Dual-bright Mode)
In Dual-bright mode, the low brightness level (when no motion is detected) can be adjusted from 15% to 50%. To adjust, long-press the mode switch button until the desired brightness is reached.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: The open-bottom design allows for easy access to the bulb. Ensure power is off before replacing the bulb. Use only E26 base bulbs, not exceeding 100W.
