DEFIANT Motion Security Light

1. Removing the Mounting Base

? NOTE: This fixture comes with a mounting base. It is pre-assembled on the light fixture for shipping.

• Press the tab (1) on the top of the fixture toward the lamp heads (A).
• Slide the light fixture (B) up and out of the mounting base (D).

Diagram shows a light fixture (B) detaching from a mounting base (D) by pressing a tab (1) on the top, near the lamp heads (A).

2. Installing the Mounting Bracket

⚠️ WARNING: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or fuse. Place tape over the circuit breaker switch and verify power is off at the light fixture.

• Remove the existing light fixture.
• Connect the ground wire on the mounting bracket (EE) to the house ground wire using a wire connector (AA).
• Install the mounting bracket (EE) with the stamped word “FRONT” facing away from the junction box.
• Use the mounting bracket screws (BB or CC) that best fit the junction box. If necessary, use the screws that were removed from the existing light fixture.
• Firmly pull on the mounting bracket (EE) to verify it is securely mounted to the junction box.

Diagram illustrates installing the mounting bracket (EE) to a junction box. A wire connector (AA) is shown for ground wire connection. The bracket has a 'FRONT' indicator. Screws (BB or CC) are indicated for attachment.

3. Wiring the Mounting Base

⚠️ WARNING: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker or fuse. Place tape over the circuit breaker switch and verify power is off at the light fixture.

? NOTE: If necessary, strip 3/8 in. (approx. 9.5 mm) of insulation from junction box wires.

• Hold down the “paddle” on the top of the pre-installed quick connect (2) located on the back of the mounting base (D).
• Insert the junction box wires (3) into the quick connect (2). Ensure the white (N – Neutral) wire is across from the pre-installed white wire and the black (L – Line) wire is across from the pre-installed black wire.
• Release the "paddle” and gently tug on the wires (2) to ensure that they are securely connected.

Diagram shows wiring connections to a quick connect (2) on the mounting base (D). Junction box wires (3) are inserted. A 3/8 inch measurement is shown for stripping insulation.

4. Installing the Mounting Base

• Place the mounting base (D) against the junction box. Ensure the wires are pushed up into the junction box.
• When mounting to a wall, the “UP” arrow must point upward.
• When mounting to an eave, the “UP” arrow must point toward the building.
• Insert the mounting bolt (DD) through the mounting base (D) hole and thread it into the center hole of the mounting bracket (EE). Tighten the bolt (DD) securely.

Diagram shows the mounting base (D) attached to the mounting bracket (EE) using a bolt (DD). An 'UP' arrow indicates correct orientation for wall or eave mounting.

5. Attaching the Light Fixture

? NOTICE: The light fixture must fully snap into place for the light to operate properly.

• Using the alignment marks (4), align the two slots (5) on each side of the light fixture's control module (6) with the pins (7) inside the mounting base (D).
• Press the light fixture (B) into the mounting base (D).
• Slide the light fixture (B) into the mounting base (D) until it snaps into place.

Diagram shows the light fixture (B) being attached to the mounting base (D). Alignment marks (4), slots (5) on the control module (6), and pins (7) on the mounting base are indicated. The 'Wall Mount' illustration shows the fixture (B) sliding onto the base (D).

5. Attaching the Light Fixture (Eave Mount)

❗ IMPORTANT: The light fixture and control module will only rotate one direction. Do NOT FORCE the control module if it does not turn.

? NOTICE: The light fixture must fully snap into place for the light to operate properly.

• While holding the light fixture (B) in both hands, carefully twist the light fixture's control module (6) 180 degrees as shown.
• Using the alignment marks (4), align the two slots (5) on each side of the light fixture's control module (6) with the pins (7) inside the mounting base (D).
• Press the light fixture (B) into the mounting base (D).
• Slide the light fixture (B) into the mounting base (D) until it snaps into place.

Diagram illustrates the 'Eave Mount' setup. It shows rotating the control module (6) by 180 degrees. Alignment marks (4), slots (5), and pins (7) are used to attach the light fixture (B) to the mounting base (D).

6. Caulking Around the Light Fixture

⚠️ CAUTION: Failure to completely caulk around the light fixture's mounting base could result in water seepage into the light fixture and/or junction box.

• Once the light (B) is operating correctly, caulk around the mounting base (D) and mounting surface with silicone sealant (not included).

Diagram shows the light fixture (B) and mounting base (D) with a line indicating the area for caulking.

1. Adjusting the Lamp Heads

⚠️ WARNING: Risk of fire. Keep the lamp heads at least 2 in. (51 mm) from combustible materials.

⚠️ CAUTION: Keep lamp heads 30° below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.

• Ensure the power is turned on for the light (B).
• If needed, gently grasp the lamp heads (A) and tilt them up or down or side to side to adjust the light coverage area.

Diagram shows two adjustable lamp heads (A) with curved arrows indicating up/down and side-to-side movement.

2. Setting the Sensor for Testing

? NOTE: When the "ON-TIME" switch is set to the "TEST" position, the light fixture will operate during the day or night. The light will stay on for 8 seconds after all motion is stopped.

• Set the “ON-TIME” switch to the “TEST” position.
• Set the "Brightness" switch to the "Default" position.

? NOTE: The motion sensor will need to completely warm up (60 seconds) before beginning the setup process.

Diagram of the control panel shows 'Brightness' settings (Hi, Med, Lo, Eco, Default) and 'On Time' settings (20S, 1Min, Test, 5Min). It also indicates 'Wired: 5min', 'Solar: OFF', 'Battery: OFF'.

3. Adjusting the Motion Sensor Detection Zone

• Perform a "walk test”: walk in an arc across the front of the motion sensor (C).
• Watch the light. The light will come on indicating motion has been detected.
• Stop, wait for the light to turn off, and then begin walking again.
• Continue this process until the detection zone has been established.
• If needed, gently grasp the motion sensor (C) and move it from side to side or up and down to adjust the detection zone.
• Note: Moving the motion sensor (C) “UP” increases the distance of the detection zone. Moving the motion sensor (C) “DOWN” decreases the distance of the detection zone.
• There are built-in stops in the motion sensor (C). Do not rotate the motion sensor past these stops.

Diagrams illustrate adjusting the motion sensor (C). One shows a circular detection pattern with 'NEAR' and 'FAR' zones. Another shows the sensor (C) being tilted up or down. Text explains 'UP' increases distance and 'DOWN' decreases it. A distance of 'FAR 50 ft.' is indicated.

4. Adjusting the ON-TIME Switch

? NOTE: The "ON-TIME" switch determines the amount of time the light will stay on full bright after all motion has stopped.

• When the "On-Time" switch is set to the "20S" (seconds), "1Min" (minute), or “5Min” (minute) position, the light will function as a motion sensing light.
• Do NOT leave the ON-TIME switch in the "TEST" position.

Diagram shows the 'On Time' switch with settings 20S, 1Min, and 5Min. The 'TEST' position is also highlighted.

5. Adjusting the Brightness Switch

This light fixture (B) has an adjustable light level (lumen) setting. The higher the lumen number, the brighter the light output. Use the chart below to select the brightness level desired.
