Features
- High Brightness & Wide Beam Angle: Produces cool white light (5000 K) with two selectable brightness levels: 1800 lumens (50%) and 3600 lumens (100%). Designed for maximum light coverage.
- Adjustable Light Modes:
- Test Mode: Motion triggers 5 seconds of light, then auto-off. Operates in both daytime and nighttime.
- Security Mode: (Night only) Light automatically turns on when motion is detected. Duration can be set to 30, 60, or 120 seconds.
- High-Sensitivity Motion Sensor: Passive infrared (PIR) sensor detects motion up to 69 feet away over a 180° angle. Light duration can be programmed for 30, 60, or 120 seconds.
- Separate Solar Panel & High-Capacity Battery: The solar panel includes a 16.4 ft cable for flexible positioning and features a 2000 mAh battery for efficient charging and extended usage.
- Water-Resistant & Durable: Tested for resistance to corrosion, rust, heavy rain, humidity, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable outdoor performance.

Setup and Installation
The Philips Solar Security Light is designed for easy installation with no wiring required. Follow these steps:
- Choose a Location: Select a location for the light fixture that provides the desired illumination coverage. The recommended installation height is 8.2 feet.
- Solar Panel Placement: Position the separate solar panel in an area that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging. The 16.4 ft cable allows for flexible placement.
- Mounting the Light Fixture:
- Wall Mounted: Secure the light fixture to a wall using the provided mounting hardware.
- Eave Mounted: Secure the light fixture under an eave. Ensure a tight seal between the wall/eave and the lamp to enhance water resistance. Note that eave installation may slightly reduce the sensing range.
- Adjust Light Heads: The light heads are adjustable. Angle them to cover the desired area.
- Connect Solar Panel: Plug the solar panel cable into the light fixture.

- Sensing Range (Distance): Adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor.
- L (Low): 0-26 ft
- M (Medium): 0-49 ft
- H (High): 0-68 ft
- Light Duration (Time): Set how long the light stays on after motion is detected.
- 30 seconds
- 60 seconds
- 120 seconds
- Brightness: Select the desired light output.
- 50%: 1800 lumens
- 100%: 3600 lumens
- Operating Modes:
- Test Mode: For initial setup and testing. Light activates for 5 seconds upon motion detection, then turns off. Works day and night.
- Security Mode: For normal operation. Light activates only at night when motion is detected, staying on for the set duration (30, 60, or 120 seconds).

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Philips Solar Security Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Clean Solar Panel: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. A clean panel ensures efficient charging.
- Inspect for Obstructions: Periodically check that no trees, bushes, or other objects are blocking direct sunlight from reaching the solar panel.
- Clean Light Fixture: Clean the light fixture and motion sensor lens with a soft, damp cloth as needed to maintain light output and sensor accuracy.
- Check Connections: Ensure the cable connecting the solar panel to the light fixture remains securely plugged in and free from damage.
Troubleshooting
If your Philips Solar Security Light is not functioning as expected, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on at night. | Insufficient solar panel charging. | Ensure the solar panel is in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily. Clean the solar panel. |
| Light stays on constantly or turns on during the day. | Light mode set to Test Mode or sensor malfunction. | Switch to Security Mode for nighttime-only operation. Check for obstructions near the sensor. |
| Motion sensor is not detecting movement. | Sensor sensitivity too low or obstructed. | Adjust the sensing range to a higher setting (M or H). Clear any obstructions from the sensor's view. |
| Light is dim. | Brightness setting is low or battery charge is low. | Adjust the brightness setting to 100%. Ensure the solar panel receives adequate sunlight for full charge. |
