- Unpack all components and check for any damage.
4.1 Wall Light Installation (Model V81532KG)
- Attach the mounting bracket to the junction box on your wall using the provided screws.
- Connect the electrical wires:
- Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the junction box.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box.
- Connect the ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box.
- Carefully tuck the wires into the junction box.
- Align the fixture with the mounting bracket and secure it with the provided screws.
- Install an E26 base bulb (not included) into the socket. Ensure it is a dimmable LED or incandescent bulb.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.
4.2 Post Light Installation (Model V86133DKG)
- Assemble the post light sections according to the diagrams in the separate assembly guide (if provided, otherwise follow general assembly logic).
- Secure the base of the post light to a stable, level surface (e.g., concrete pad) using appropriate anchors (not included).
- Route the electrical wiring from your power source through the post to the top fixture.
- Connect the electrical wires at the top fixture:
- Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the power source.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the power source.
- Connect the ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the power source.
- Install three E26 base bulbs (not included) into the sockets. Ensure they are dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.
5. Operating Instructions
Your VIANIS outdoor lights feature both a Dusk to Dawn sensor and a Motion Sensor with three selectable operating modes.
5.1 Dusk to Dawn Sensor
The integrated photocell sensor automatically detects ambient light levels. The lights will:
- Automatically turn OFF during the daytime.
- Automatically turn ON at night (according to the selected motion sensor mode).
Image 4: Illustration of the Dusk to Dawn sensor. The image shows a house with the post light automatically turning off during the day and turning on at night, demonstrating hands-free operation.
5.2 Motion Sensor Modes
The motion sensor offers three distinct operating modes, selectable via a one-button switch located on the fixture (refer to Image 5 for switch location). Cycle through the modes by pressing the switch.
Image 5: Diagram showing the one-click mode switching for the motion sensor. An inset highlights the location of the switch on the top of the light fixture. The image illustrates the transition between DIM Mode and ECO+ Mode.
- DIM MODE:
- During the day: Light is OFF.
- At night (no motion): Light illuminates at 30% brightness.
- At night (motion detected): Light illuminates at 100% brightness.
- After motion ceases: Light returns to 30% brightness.
Image 6: Visual representation of DIM Mode operation. It shows the light off during the day, at 30% brightness at night without motion, and at 100% brightness when motion is detected, then returning to 30% brightness.
- ECO MODE:
- During the day: Light is OFF.
- At night (no motion): Light remains OFF.
- At night (motion detected): Light illuminates at 100% brightness.
- After motion ceases: Light turns OFF.
Image 7: Visual representation of ECO Mode operation. It shows the light off during the day, off at night without motion, and at 100% brightness when motion is detected, then turning off again.
- OVERRIDE MODE:
- During the day: Light is OFF.
- At night: Light remains ON at 100% brightness continuously until dawn. Motion sensor is bypassed.
5.3 Motion Detection Area
The PIR motion sensor has a super wide range for 40 feet detection distance and a 220° wide detection angle.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
- Bulb Replacement: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Allow bulbs to cool before replacing. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new E26 base bulb (dimmable LED or incandescent).
- Sensor Cleaning: Keep the motion sensor lens and photocell free from dust, dirt, and obstructions to ensure optimal performance.
- Weather Resistance: The fixtures are designed for outdoor use and are waterproof, sunproof, snowproof, and stormproof. However, regular inspection for any physical damage is recommended.
