4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the CL-BLD2D10K-3CCT LED Area Light. Specific mounting hardware and procedures may vary based on your installation surface (e.g., wall, pole). Always consult a qualified electrician for installation if you are unsure.
4.1. Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify that the power supply is turned OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Ensure you have all necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, wire strippers, drill, mounting hardware).
- Confirm the installation location is suitable for outdoor electrical fixtures and can support the weight of the light.
4.2. Mounting the Fixture
- Carefully unpack the fixture and inspect for any damage.
- Attach the mounting bracket (if separate) to the desired surface using appropriate screws and anchors. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Feed the electrical wires from the power source through the designated opening in the fixture or mounting bracket.
4.3. Electrical Connections
- Connect the fixture's wires to the supply wires according to standard electrical practices:
- Black wire (Live) to Black wire (Live)
- White wire (Neutral) to White wire (Neutral)
- Green/Bare Copper wire (Ground) to Green/Bare Copper wire (Ground)
- Secure all connections with approved wire nuts or connectors.
- Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box or fixture housing.
4.4. Final Assembly
- Attach the light fixture to the mounting bracket, ensuring it is securely seated and all screws are tightened.
- Verify that all seals and gaskets are properly in place to maintain the IP65 water-resistant rating.
- Restore power at the circuit breaker.
5. Operating Instructions
Your Pinegreen Lighting LED Area Light offers customizable settings for both light color and brightness.
5.1. Adjusting CCT (Color Temperature)
The fixture features a switch, typically located near the wiring compartment or on the side of the unit, to select the desired Correlated Color Temperature (CCT). Ensure power is off before adjusting this switch.
- 3000K (Soft White): Provides a warm, inviting light, similar to traditional incandescent bulbs.
- 4000K (Neutral): A balanced white light, suitable for general outdoor illumination.
- 5000K (Daylight): A bright, cool white light, ideal for security and task lighting.
Select the CCT setting that best suits your application and preference.
5.2. Adjusting Lumens (Brightness)
Similar to the CCT switch, there is a separate switch for adjusting the lumen output (brightness). Ensure power is off before adjusting this switch.
- 10,000 Lumens (80W): Maximum brightness for large areas or high illumination needs.
- 8,000 Lumens (64W): Medium brightness, suitable for most general applications.
- 6,000 Lumens (48W): Lower brightness, ideal for accent lighting or smaller areas.
Choose the lumen setting that provides adequate illumination for your specific outdoor space.
5.3. Dusk to Dawn Photocell Sensor Operation
The integrated photocell sensor automatically detects ambient light levels to control the fixture's operation.
- When enabled, the light will automatically turn ON at dusk (when ambient light falls below a certain threshold) and turn OFF at dawn (when ambient light rises).
- A switch is provided to disable the photocell sensor. If disabled, the light will remain ON continuously when power is supplied, regardless of ambient light conditions. This is useful for applications requiring constant illumination or when controlled by an external timer.
6. Maintenance
The Pinegreen Lighting CL-BLD2D10K-3CCT LED Area Light is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and long-lasting LED technology.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and exterior of the fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or lens. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or wear on the wiring. Address any issues promptly.
- LEDs: The LEDs are integrated and not user-replaceable. The fixture is designed for a long operational life.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED Area Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn ON. | No power supply; loose wiring; faulty photocell sensor (if enabled); incorrect CCT/Lumens setting. | Check circuit breaker; verify all wire connections; ensure photocell is not obstructed or try disabling it; confirm CCT/Lumens switches are set correctly. |
| Light stays ON during the day. | Photocell sensor disabled; photocell sensor obstructed by shadow or debris; faulty photocell sensor. | Check if photocell switch is enabled; clear any obstructions from the sensor; if issue persists, contact support. |
| Light flickers or dims. | Unstable power supply; loose wiring; extreme temperature fluctuations. | Consult an electrician to check power supply stability; re-check wire connections; ensure operating within specified temperature range. |
| Incorrect CCT or Lumens output. | Switches not set correctly. | Ensure power is off, then re-adjust the CCT and Lumens selection switches to the desired setting. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Pinegreen Lighting customer support.
