Safety Information
PRECAUTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before
attempting to assemble, install, or operate this light
xture.
This light xture requires 120-volts AC.
Some codes require installation by a qualied electrician.
This light xture must be properly grounded.
This light xture is intended for use with the enclosed
gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet
locations.
For proper operation, this light xture should be:
ƑInstalled outdoors to a wall or eaves
ƑInstalled 8 ft. (2.4 m) above the ground (If the light
xture is mounted higher than recommended,
aiming the sensor down will reduce the coverage
area.)
ƑDo not leave the “ON-TIME” switch in the “TEST”
position. The frequent ON/OFF cycling of the light
xture will reduce the life of the bulb
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 xture.
WARNING: Risk of re. Do not aim the bulbs at a
combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).
WARNING: Risk of re. Keep the bulbs at least 2in.
(51mm) from combustible materials.
CAUTION: Keep the motion sensor at least 1 in. (25 mm)
away from the bulbs.
CAUTION: Keep the bulb holders 30° below horizontal to
avoid water damage and electrical shock.
CAUTION: To avoid water damage and the risk of
electrical shock, the motion sensor controls must be facing
the ground when the installation is complete.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. Allow the light xture and the
bulb to cool before touching.
CAUTION: Do not cut any wires with factory installed
wire connectors or remove the wire connectors.
NOTICE: Do not connect this light xture to a dimmer switch or
timer.

Operation (continued)
3 Setting the Sensor for Testing
When the “ON-TIME” switch is set to the “TEST”
position, the light xture will operate during the day
or night. The light will stay on for 5 seconds after all
motion is stopped.
ƑSet the “ON-TIME” switch to the “TEST”
position.
ƑSet the “DUALBRITE” switch to the “OFF”
position.
ƑTurn the “RANGE” dial to the “MIN” position.
ƑAim the motion sensor (C) in the general
direction of the area to be covered.
NOTE: The motion sensor will need to completely warm
up (90 seconds) before beginning the setup process.

4 Adjusting the Motion Sensor
Detection Zone
ƑTurn on the circuit breaker or fuse and the light
switch.
ƑPerform a “walk test”. Walk in an arc across
the front of the motion sensor (C).
ƑWatch the light. The light will come on and the
red LED will ash indicating motion has been
detected.
ƑStop, wait for the light to turn off, and then
begin walking again.
ƑContinue this process until the detection zone
has been established.
ƑAdjust the sensor up, down, or side to side to
change the motion sensor (C) detection zone.
5 Adjusting the RANGE Dial
ƑTo increase the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MAX” position.
ƑTo decrease the detection zone, turn the
“RANGE” dial toward the “MIN” position.
NOTE: The motion sensor (C) is more sensitive to motion
moving across the front of the sensor. The motion sensor
(C) is less sensitive to motion moving directly toward the
front of the sensor.
NOTE: The higher the “RANGE” setting (sensitivity), the
greater the possibility of false triggering. To reduce false
triggering, rotate the “RANGE” control toward the “MIN”
setting.

7 Adjusting the DUALBRITE
Switch
The “DUALBRITE” switch determines the amount of
time the lights stay on at a reduced light level after
sundown. Switching this setting to “OFF” will not
effect the “ON-TIME” setting.
ƑSet the “DUALBRITE” switch to OFF, 3 hours, 6
hours, or dusk-to-dawn (sunset to sunrise).

8 Adjusting the LAMP MODE
Switch
The “LAMP MODE” switch determines the way the
lights will turn on when motion is detected.
ƑSecurity (“NORMAL”) - Light comes on instantly.
ƑBulbSaver (“SOFT”) - Light comes on dim and
gradually increases to full brightness. When the
light turns off it will gradually dim to half-bright,
pause, and then will continue dimming until the
light turns off.
ƑAlertFlash (“FLASH”) - Light ashes on then off
twice before turning on full brightness.
ƑSet the “LAMP MODE” to “NORMAL”, “SOFT”,
or “FLASH” position.

9 Using Manual Mode
Manual mode overrides the motion sensor (C) and
“ON-TIME” control so the light will operate full bright.
This feature only works at night and only for one night
at a time. The motion sensor (C) will reset to motion
sensing mode after 6 hours or sunrise, whichever
comes rst. Manual mode can be toggled on and off
using a wall switch.
ƑTo turn manual mode on, switch the light off
at the wall switch for 3 to 4 seconds and then
back on.
ƑTo turn manual mode off, switch the light off
at the wall switch for 3 to 4 seconds and then
back on.
NOTE: If the power to the light xture is off for more than
5 seconds, allow the motion sensor to warm up prior to
switching to manual mode.

Care and Cleaning
ƑTo prolong the original appearance, clean with clear water and a soft, damp cloth only.
ƑDo not use paints, solvents, or other chemicals on this light xture. They could cause a premature
deterioration of the nish. This is not a defect in the nish and will not be covered by the warranty.
ƑDo not spray with a hose or power washer.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light will not come on. ƑThe light switch is turned off. ƑTurn the light switch on.
ƑThe bulb is loose or burned out. ƑCheck the bulb and replace
if burned out.
ƑThe fuse is blown or the circuit breaker
is turned off.
ƑReplace the fuse or turn the
circuit breaker on.
ƑDaylight turn-off (photocell) is in effect. ƑRecheck after dark.
ƑThe circuit wiring is incorrect, if this is
a new installation.
ƑVerify the wiring is correct.
ƑThe motion sensor is aimed in the
wrong direction.
ƑRe-aim the motion sensor
to cover the desired area.
ƑThe outside air temperature is close to
the same as a person’s body heat.
ƑIncrease the “RANGE”
setting.
The light comes on during the
day.
ƑThe motion sensor may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
ƑThe light xture is operat-
ing normally under these
circumstances.
ƑThe “ON-TIME” switch is in the “TEST”
position.
ƑSet the “ON-TIME” switch
to the 1, 5, or 20 minute
setting.
The light comes on for no
apparent reason.
ƑThe motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile trafc.
ƑRe-aim the motion sensor.
ƑThe “RANGE” dial is set too high. ƑDecrease the “RANGE”
setting.
ƑThe “DUALBRITE” switch is in the 3
hour, 6 hour, or dusk-to-dawn setting.
ƑThe light xture is operat-
ing normally under these
circumstances.
ƑThe outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
ƑDecrease the “RANGE”
setting.
ƑThe light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.

xture. Replace the dimmer
or timer with a standard on/
off wall switch.
