Setup and Installation
The Olafus 180W Motion Sensor Outdoor Light features a plug-and-play design for easy installation. No complex wiring is required.
- Choose a Mounting Location: Select a suitable outdoor location such as a wall, eave, garage, or backyard area. Ensure the location allows for optimal motion sensor coverage and light distribution.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the light fixture in the desired position and mark the locations for the mounting screws.
- Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. If mounting on masonry or concrete, insert the expansion rubber plugs into the drilled holes.
- Secure the Fixture: Align the mounting holes on the fixture with the drilled holes and secure the light using the provided screws. Ensure the fixture is firmly attached.
- Adjust Light Heads: Loosen the adjustment screws on each light head and the motion sensor. Position the five light heads to achieve the desired illumination area. The heads are adjustable up to 360° horizontally and 90° vertically. Tighten the screws once adjusted.
- Plug In: Connect the power cord to a standard 120V outdoor electrical outlet. It is recommended to use a GFCI-protected outlet and a weatherproof outlet cover for added safety. The power cord length is approximately 4.92 feet (1.5 meters).

Operating Instructions
The motion sensor has three adjustable dials: MODE, TIME, and DIST (Distance).

Mode Settings:
- TEST Mode: Used for initial setup and testing the motion sensor's range and sensitivity. The light will turn on for a short period (typically a few seconds) when motion is detected, regardless of ambient light.
- AUTO (Motion Sensor) Mode: The light will only activate when motion is detected in low-light conditions. The duration the light stays on is determined by the TIME setting.
- D2D (Dusk-to-Dawn) Mode: The light will automatically turn on at 30% brightness at dusk and remain on until dawn. When motion is detected, it will switch to 100% brightness for the duration set by the TIME dial, then return to 30% brightness.
Image: Visual representation of the Motion Sensor Mode (light activates upon motion) and Dusk-to-Dawn Mode (light stays at 30% brightness at night, increasing to 100% with motion, then turning off at dawn).
TIME Setting:
This dial controls how long the light remains at full brightness after motion is detected. Options typically include 1 minute, 3 minutes, and 10 minutes. Adjust to your preference.
DIST (Distance) Setting:
This dial adjusts the sensitivity and detection range of the motion sensor. Settings typically include Low (L), Medium (M), and High (H).
- L (Low): Approximately 13-26 feet detection range.
- M (Medium): Approximately 26-49 feet detection range.
- H (High): Approximately 49-72 feet detection range.
Maintenance
The Olafus 180W Motion Sensor Outdoor Light is designed for durability and minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
- Weather Resistance: The light is IP65 waterproof, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. It is suitable for use in rain and snow.
