Operating Instructions
The VIANIS Motion Sensor Outdoor Post Light features intelligent motion detection and dusk-to-dawn sensors for automated operation.
Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor
The built-in photocell sensor automatically controls the light based on ambient brightness:
- Auto-Off (Daytime): The light will automatically turn off when ambient brightness exceeds 100 lux.
- Auto-On (Nighttime): The light will automatically turn on when ambient brightness falls below 20 lux.

Motion Sensor Modes
The fixture offers two standby modes, which can be switched with a single button press. The light will remember your last setting.
Image: Diagram showing the "One-click Mode Switching" button and the two available modes: DIM Mode and ECO+ Mode.
- DIM Mode:
- At sunset, the light enters standby at 30% brightness.
- When motion is detected, the light activates to 100% brightness.
- After motion ceases, the light reverts to 30% brightness.
- ECO+ Mode:
- At sunset, the light remains off (full off standby).
- When motion is detected, the light activates to 100% brightness.
- After motion ceases, the light reverts to full off.
In both modes, the light will automatically turn off during the dawn hours.
Motion Sensor Detection Range
The advanced PIR motion sensor provides a super wide range for detection:
- Detection Distance: Up to 40 feet.
- Detection Angle: 220 degrees wide.
