Where to Place Your Outdoor Wall Lights
An illustration shows a house with outdoor wall lights. The diagram indicates a fixture height of 12.3 inches. For placement next to a door, if one light is used, it should be 1/3 the height of the door. If two lights are used on either side, they should be 1/4 the height of the door. Measure the door height, divide by 4 for two lights or 3 for one light. For example, an 80-inch tall door would suggest 20-inch tall lights. Lights should be placed 66 inches from the floor or ground to illuminate the lock and handle, and 6 inches from the door edge. If using a single light, place it on the side of the door closest to the handle.
Helpful Tip:
- The product features a dusk-to-dawn sensor. Ensure proper installation height so that eaves or other objects do not cover the sensor, which could cause the light to remain on constantly.
- After positioning the glass lampshade, avoid excessive force to prevent accidental damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does it feature a dusk-to-dawn sensor?
Yes, the fixture has an intelligent dusk-to-dawn sensor that automatically turns the light on when ambient light levels drop below 20 LUX and off when brightness exceeds 90 LUX, saving energy and eliminating manual operation.
2. What could be the reason if the lamp does not turn on during installation?
If the lamp remains off during installation, it is likely due to the dusk-to-dawn sensor's deactivation during daylight hours. To test functionality, cover the sensor with your hand or a cloth after turning on the power switch. If the lamp illuminates, it confirms the sensor is working correctly and the issue is related to the automatic day/night cycle.
3. What if I do not need the dusk-to-dawn functionality?
The fixture includes a rubber cap that can be used to disable the dusk-to-dawn feature. Slide the cap over the sensor for manual control.
4. What should I do if the glass lampshade I received is cracked or broken?
If the glass lampshade is cracked, broken, or not in perfect condition, please contact customer service immediately for the best possible solution.
