SAFETY INFORMATION
PREPARATION
Important to know
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. This fixture requires a 120 VAC, 60 Hz power source.
2. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to the sensor, be sure the power is switched "off" before
adjustment.
3. Motion sensor: turns light ON automatically when motion is detected and turns light OFF automatically when motion
stops.
4. Photocell keeps the light OFF during daylight hours.
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes, ordinances or the national electric code (NEC).
Contact your municipal building department to learn about your local codes, permits and/or inspections.
• Risk of fire – most dwellings built before 1985 have supply wire rated for 140°F/60ºC. Consult a qualified electrician
before installation
• Do not connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment grounding. Never use
a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. If you are not sure your lighting system has a grounding means, do
not attempt to install this fixture. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician for information with regards to proper
grounding methods as required by the local electrical code in your area.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.
WARNING
• Turn off electricity at main fuse box (or circuit breaker box) before beginning installation by removing fuse (or switching
off circuit breaker).
• Be careful not to damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during fixture installation. Do not permit wires to contact
any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation, which could cause serious injury
or death from electric shock.
CAUTION
Maximum Wattage: 2-150W
Work Temperature: - 4°F~113°F
Note: Fixture can be wall mounted or eave mounted.
Read notes section on page 4 for additional information about mounting location of fixture.

Installation Steps
1.Install the mounting strap (BB)
to the outlet box with the
stamped word “FRONT” facing
away from the outlet box,
using two mounting screws
(AA) that best fit the outlet box.
Back plate should sit flush
against wall surface when
secured. (Choose one
matching pair of suitable
mounting screws (AA) from
the 3 pairs provided)

2. Fixture wires thread through
gasket (FF), then attach the
gasket (FF) into back
plate (A).

3. Pull out the source wires from
the outlet box. Make wire
connections using wire
connectors (EE) as follows:
---Connect the black wire from
the fixture to the “hot” wire
from the power source.
(usually black)
---Connect the white wire from
the fixture to the neutral wire
from the power source.
(usually white)
---Connect the grounding wire
from the fixture to the
grounding wire from the
power source. (usually
green / yellow insulation)
Carefully tuck the wires back into the outlet box.

6. Install bulbs (not included).
See relamping label at
socket area or packaging
for maximum allowed
wattage.
Before installing the light fixture under an eave, the sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next two steps for
proper operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
For eave mounted only:
Rotate the sensor head (C) towards the back plate (A).. Rotate the sensor head (C) clockwise 180˚ so the controls face
down.

Adjusting the Light Head:
2. Keep the light heads (D) 30˚ below horizontal to avoid water damage and electrical shock.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
● You can adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor by using the “SENSITIVITY” selector located on the right
side of the bottom surface of the sensor. (See Fig. 4)
● Adjust motion sensor sensitivity to achieve desired performance.
● Approximate range for each setting from 10ft to 70ft.
Choose a mode by sliding the switch on the bottom of the sensor of the fixture. (See Fig.4 )
Note: When power is first applied, the light will turn on immediately. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the sensor
to warm up.
1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
● The light turns on automatically when motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues. About 5
seconds after motion is no longer detected, it turns off automatically.
Adjusting the Sensor Head (C):
1. Aim sensor head (C) toward desired detection area, maintaining a
5° - 40° downward angle to allow moisture to drain.
Note: Make sure sensor head (C) is positioned with controls facing
toward the ground.
2. You can move the sensor head (C) up and down to change the
coverage area. (See Fig. 1)
Note: Range set too high may increase false triggering.

● The shut-off delay is the length of time the light will stay at brightness after motion is detected.
● You can set the shut-off delay by rotating the “TME” knob arrow so it points to the desired time setting (from 5
seconds to 3 minutes). To increase the shut-off delay, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease the shut-off delay,
turn the knob counterclockwise.

2. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)
● To shift to the “AUTO” mode, rotate “TIME” knob arrow to the desired time setting (between 5 seconds and 3
minutes). At dusk, the light turns on when motion is detected, and stays on as long as motion continues. When
the motion is no longer detected, the light remains on for the predetermined time you set (5s ~ 3min), and then
turns off automatically.
● The light turns off automatically at dawn.
Note: To make sure the above functions operate properly, always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position
(including the daytime).

Where you install your fixture is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall
or eave; otherwise, the detection distance may
be limited.
Fig. 6 Fig. 7
Fig. 8
Notes:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the environmental temperature gets cooler. For best
performance, gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. For best performance, install fixture at least 8 feet above the ground. At such a height, the fixture will provide a
detection distance of up to 70 feet at 77 degrees Fahrenheit. (See Fig.6)
3. The sensor detects movement across a detection range of 180 degrees. (See Fig.7)
4. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
5. To reduce possible nuisances, do not mount the fixture near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflective object or other nearby light source.
