Your AKOFUN Solar Flood Lights are controlled via the included remote control. Ensure the remote control has a working AAA battery (included).
5.1 Remote Control Functions
Image: The remote control showing buttons for power, brightness adjustment, timed full brightness (6H/8H), and radar sense mode with combined timer and motion sensing options.
- ON/OFF: Press to manually turn the light on or off.
- Brightness Adjustment (+/-): Adjust the light intensity.
- AUTO: Activates the dusk-to-dawn mode. The light will automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.
- 3H/5H/8H: Sets the light to stay on at full brightness for 3, 5, or 8 hours after automatically turning on at dusk.
- Radar Sense Mode (Motion Sensor):
- Mode 1 (Auto): Light turns on automatically at dusk and turns off at dawn.
- Mode 2 (Motion Sensor): High intensity light turns on when motion is detected, then returns to low intensity light after 30 seconds of no motion.
- Mode 3 (Timer Setting): Light turns on for 6 or 8 hours at high intensity.
- Mode 4 (Timer Setting + Motion Sensor): Light turns on for 3 or 4 hours with strong light, then switches to motion detection mode (Mode 2) for the remaining 3 to 8 hours.
Image: Detailed explanation of the four operating modes: Automatic (dusk to dawn), Motion Sensor (brightens on detection), Timer (constant bright for set hours), and Timer + Motion Sensor (initial bright, then motion-activated).
