Operating Instructions
Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor
Your GLOBE Electric Dorian wall sconce features a built-in photocell sensor that automatically detects ambient light levels. The fixture will turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn, providing convenient and energy-efficient outdoor lighting. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or direct artificial light sources, as this may interfere with its operation.
