Work Temperature: - 22°F~104°F
1. Read all instructions carefully before installation and
operation.
2. If you are not familiar with state and local electrical codes
it is recommended that you consult with a qualified
electrician.
3. Before installation, shut off power at the main fuse or
circuit breaker box. Be aware that simply turning off the
wall switch is not sufficient to prevent an electrical shock.
4. This fixture requires a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source.
5. Do not attempt to take the lantern apart; there are no
serviceable parts inside.
6. To avoid sensor damage by lightning or electrical surge,
make sure the ground wire is securely connected.
7. For general safety and to avoid any possible damage to
the sensor, be sure the power is switched "off" before
replacing the bulb.

1. Energy saving fixture.
2. Use dim-to-full brightness where dim-illumination
is preferred, such as your front entrance. Use
off-to-full brightness where off/on illumination is
preferred, such as your backyard.
3. When in manual override mode, use wall switch
to keep the light ON till dawn.

1. Unscrew the two bolt nuts (D), remove the two rubber pads (E) and the cross bar unit (A) from the backplate.
2. Attach the cross bar unit (A) to the outlet box by using two mounting screws (B). Adjust the length of the preinstalled
headless screws if necessary.
Note: Make sure that the headless screws are lined up horizontally to make the fixture level.
3. Pull out the source wires from the outlet box. Make wire connections using wire connectors (C) as follows:
• Connect the hot wire (usually black insulation) from the fixture to the black wire from the power source.
• Connect the neutral wire (usually white insulation) from the fixture to the white wire from the power source.
• Attach the fixture ground wire (usually green insulation or bare wire) to the cross bar unit (A) with the
green ground screw. Then, depending on local code, then connect it to the house ground wire with the
wire connector (C).
Carefully put all of the wires back into the outlet box.
4. Attach the backplate of the fixture to the cross bar unit (A) by inserting headless screws into set holes on the
backplate, then secure it with two rubber pads (E) and two bolt nuts (D).
Note: With silicone caulk compound, caulk completely around where the backplate meets with the wall
surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet box.
5. Install the bulb (not included). Check relamping label at socket area or packaging for maximum wattage allowed.

1. TEST MODE (daytime and nighttime operation.)
• The light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%).The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when
motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. The light will turn to the low-level brightness you
set after 5 seconds when motion is no longer detected.
2. OFF MODE (nighttime operation only)
• At dusk, the light stays off and will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness) when motion is detected, and stay on
as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will stay on for the predetermined time set
(5 ~ 180 seconds), then the light will turn off automatically.
3. AUTO MODE (nighttime operation only)
• At dusk, the light will turn to low-level brightness (0~50%). The light will turn to high-level brightness (full brightness)
when motion is detected, and stay on as long as the motion continues. When the motion stops, the light will remain
on for the predetermined time set (5~180 seconds), and then turn to the low-level brightness you set.
• The light will turn off automatically at dawn.
4. PC MODE (nighttime operation only)
•
5. Manual Override MODE (nighttime operation only)
• To shift to the manual override mode, set the switch to "OFF" or "AUTO"
mode. Turn the wall switch "OFF" and then turn it "ON" within 3
seconds. The light will stay on through all night. To restore to the
"OFF" or "AUTO" mode, turn the wall switch "OFF" and then turn it
"ON" within 3 seconds again. (See Fig.4)
• The light will last for one night only and turn off automatically at dawn.
Note: 1. The low level brightness can be adjusted from 0 to 50% by
rotating "LOW LEVEL" knob. (See Fig.5)
2. Always keep the wall switch in the “ON” position (including the daytime).
3. Please notice the warm up time is 30 seconds, any operations are invalid during this time.

TIME SENS
Mode
1. The Shut-off delay is the length of time that the light will stay in
high-level brightness after motion stops.
2. The Shut-off delay can be adjusted by using the "TIME" knob when
the slide switch is set in "OFF" or "AUTO" mode.
3. The range of shut-off delay is 5 seconds to 3 minutes.
4. Rotate the knob clockwise for increasing the shut-off delay.
5. Rotate the knob counterclockwise for decreasing the shut-off delay.
Sensitivity of Motion Sensor
1. The sensitivity can be adjusted from 5 to 40 feet by using the "SENS" knob. (See Fig.5).
2. Turn the knob clockwise for increased sensitivity.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity.

Troubleshooting
Page 4 / 5
NOTE:
1. The sensitivity of the motion sensor will increase as the
environmental temperature gets colder. For best performance,
gently clean the lens with a soft cloth every 1 or 2 months to
ensure maximum sensitivity.
2. When installed at a height of 6.5 feet, at 77 degrees Fahrenheit
the light will provide a maximum detection distance of 40 feet
and detection range of 180 degrees. (See Fig.6 Fig.7)
3. The sensor will be more sensitive to motion across its
detection path than motion directly towards it. (See Fig.8)
4. To reduce possible interferences, do not mount the fixture
near a heat source like an air conditioner, vent or furnace
exhaust, or in a direction facing any reflecting object or
other light source.
Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.
