5. Setup and Installation
This flood light requires hardwired installation. A junction box is required but not included. Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
Image 5.1: Hardwired Installation Steps
- Prepare Wiring: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker. Ensure the power is off before touching any wires.
- Mounting Bracket Installation (Step 1): Secure the provided mounting bracket to your existing outdoor junction box. The mounting base diameter is approximately 4.37 inches. Use the included screws to firmly attach the bracket.
- Wire Connections (Step 2): Connect the electrical wires from the fixture to your household wiring using the provided wire nuts.
- Connect the Live Wire (usually black) from the fixture to the Live Wire from the junction box.
- Connect the Neutral Wire (usually white) from the fixture to the Neutral Wire from the junction box.
- Connect the Earth Wire (usually green or bare copper) from the fixture to the Earth Wire from the junction box.
- Fixture Attachment (Step 3): Carefully align the flood light fixture with the mounting bracket and secure it in place. Use the appropriate screws to fasten the fixture to the bracket. Ensure the gasket is properly seated to maintain the IP65 waterproof rating.
- Seal and Test: Once the fixture is securely mounted, apply the rubber plug if necessary to seal any openings. Restore power at the circuit breaker and test the light.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Dusk to Dawn Functionality
The LUTEC flood light is equipped with a built-in photocell sensor for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. This feature eliminates the need for manual switching.
Image 6.1: Dusk to Dawn Mode Operation
- At Dusk: As ambient light levels decrease, the photocell sensor detects the onset of darkness, and the flood light will automatically turn on to full brightness.
- Throughout the Night: The light will remain illuminated at full brightness until daylight.
- At Dawn: As ambient light levels increase, the photocell sensor detects the return of daylight, and the flood light will automatically turn off.
Ensure the photocell sensor is not obstructed by objects, dirt, or debris, as this can interfere with its proper operation.
6.2. Adjusting Light Heads
The flood light features four flexible light heads that can be adjusted independently to direct illumination where needed. This allows for a customizable coverage area with a maximum illumination angle of 300°.

- Gently grasp each light head and pivot it to the desired angle.
- Avoid excessive force when adjusting to prevent damage to the fixture.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your flood light.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fixture with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or electrical components. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Photocell Sensor: Keep the photocell sensor free from dirt, dust, and obstructions (e.g., leaves, spiderwebs) to ensure accurate dusk-to-dawn operation.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Tighten any loose screws or connections.
- Waterproof Seal: The fixture has an IP65 waterproof rating. Ensure the gasket and seals remain intact and undamaged to prevent water ingress.
