- Test Mode: Can be activated in both daytime and nighttime. The light turns on for 5 seconds when motion is detected, then turns off. If no motion, it stays off.
- Sensor Mode: Can only be activated in the nighttime. The light turns on for 1/2/10 minutes (adjustable) when motion is detected, then turns off. If no motion, it stays off.
- Dusk-to-Dawn Mode: Can only be activated in the nighttime. The light automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn, providing continuous illumination.
- Override Mode: Can be activated in both daytime and nighttime. Provides 100% brightness (6000 lm) for 6 hours, then automatically dims to 80% after 13 minutes if activated via manual override.
5.4 Manual Override Mode
To activate or deactivate the 6-hour always-on mode:
