IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product should only be installed by a competent
individual who is familiar with all applicable codes and/
or regulations that may apply to the installation of this
product. In certain jurisdictions this product needs to
be installed by a licensed electrician.
Please follow these instructions carefully before
attempting to install and operate this light.
The risk of electric shock should be minimized by the
installation of appropriate safety devices including the
incorporation of a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt).
Cables should always be protected against short circuit
and overload.
Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same
as the electrical power supply to be used.
DO NOT position the light near ammable, combustible
or explosive liquids, solids, gases or equipment.
DO NOT direct the light into a person’s eyes. The light
output is very intense and if used incorrectly could
cause eye damage.
ALWAYS maintain the light in good condition, with
repairs undertaken only by a qualied electrician.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: Isolate the power supply before installation
and turn o the A/C power to the circuit.
The unit requires connection to a 120V 60Hz power
supply. It is recommended that the unit is connected to
the domestic lighting circuit using 2 conductor round
exible cable of 14 AWG. If the cable is used outdoors,
you must use waterproof cable.
Position the unit on the wall and mark the position
for the connection box (which can be positioned
horizontal or vertical (Fig. 2, 3)
Ensure the wires can easily
enter the connection box
through either the knock-
out (KO) at the back of the
connection box, or through
those at the sides (Fig. 4)
Mark the 4 drill holes required to secure the box to the
wall (and mark the cable outlet location if required). Or
use the “C” bracket to mount to a wall. If using the “C”
bracket, use the knockouts on the side of the box to
attach the bracket with the screw knobs
Drill the wall and screw the connection box onto the
wall using the screws provided. Or mount the “C”
bracket to the wall using two screws. Once the screws
are attached, the screw covers (provided) should be
used to stop any water ingress through the mounting
holes.

GLAND

GLAND
FIG 7
If feeding a wire through the knock-out at the back
of connection box, use silicone sealant to completely
seal between the back of the connection box and wall
surface to prevent water from seeping into the con-
nection box. The silicone sealant should be waterproof
& UV proof. If feeding a wire through a knock-out on
the side of the connection box the cable gland should
be used and installed as shown in
Fig. 5. Once the sealing gland is
installed the nut should be gently
tightened up against the gland
body to ensure the wire is secured
in place and no water can get into
the connection box.
Feed the A/C cable into the
connection box and strip
approximately 1/4” of insulation
from each of the 2 conductors of
the A/C wire and attached to the
terminal block as shown in Fig.
6, black wire to black (hot) white
wire to white (neutral).
Make sure the waterproof seal to
the lid is in place (Fig. 7) and fasten
to the connection box using the 4
connection screws provided. In-
stall the provided screw covers. To
adjust the Mightylite simply hold
the connection box rmly while
moving the head of the oodlight
to the required position. If using
the “C” bracket, the junction box
can be swiveled to the desired
position and then the light head
can be further swiveled.
MIGHTYLITE PIR SETTINGS
The Mightylite has three adjustment knobs as shown
in Fig. 8 to adjust the light level for activation, the
time duration of the light and the sensitivity of the IR
sensor.
The adjustment knob labeled “F” adjusts the outdoor
light level (LUX) required for the Mightylite to operate.
A setting of 1 requires complete darkness for the unit
to operate. A setting of 5 allows the unit to work in full
daylight.
The adjustment knob labeled “T” controls the time the
light will remain on once triggered. This adjustment
ranges from approximately 5 seconds to 10 minutes.
Turning the knob clockwise increases the time
duration.
The control labeled “R” changes the sensitivity of the
IR detector. This adjustment should be placed at mid-
range and then adjusted if you have false triggers or
light is not coming on when it should. Turning the knob
clockwise will increase the sensitivity of the sensor.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Lights won’t come on
• Power not on
Turn on indoor switch or check fuse.
• Wired incorrectly
Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram.
• PIR not detecting movement
Adjust the angle and direction of the PIR.
For best results walk across the beam.
• Light conditions too bright
Wait until light conditions are darker (at dusk)
or turn the LUX control up.
Lights stay on
• TIME set too high
Turn ‘Time’ knob towards ‘-’ end
(approximately 5 secs to 10 min adjustable).
• Wired incorrectly
Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram.
• Frequent changes in heat are being detected
Check sensing area for possible heat sources (e.g. air
vents, moving vehicles, moving trees) and re-position
the sensor or alter the RANGE control downwards.
Lights keep turning on and o (cycling)
• Changes in heat are being detected from a xed heat source
Check the sensing area for air vents, light ttings or fans
and either re-position the sensor or adjust the aim.
• Changes in heat are being detected from a moving object
Check the sensing area for moving vehicles, animals,
pedestrians, moving trees and alter the aim of the sensor
accordingly.
• Light and heat are being reected back onto the sensor
Alter aim of the sensor or paint the reecting surface
with a dull nish.
• Sudden temperature changes due to storms or high winds
Turn sensor o until storm passes or install in a sheltered
location.
Sensor operates dierently in hot and cold conditions
• Temperature dierences are aecting the sensor’s sensitivity
Turn the sensitivity (RANGE) control knob toward the
MAXIMUM end for summer (hot conditions) and toward
MINIMUM for winter (cold conditions). This compensates
for variations in temperature.
