Hardware Package ( included ):
Important to Know
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 120 VAC, 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 grounding 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.
8. Compatible with LED dimmable bulb.
Maximum Wattage: 60W Incandescent Bulb or 20W LED
Dimmable Bulb
Work Temperature: -4°F~104°F
Features
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.wn.

Installation Steps
Turn off the power at fuse or circuit box. 2. Attach the tail and pipe cap

6. Attach the cross bar unit (AA) to
the outlet box by using two
mounting screws (BB). 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.

8. Attach the backplate of the fixture
to the cross bar unit (AA) by
aligning and inserting the two
headless screws from the cross
bar unit (AA) into the open holes
on the backplate, then place the
two rubber pads (EE) over the
exposed headless screws before
screwing the two ball nuts (DD).
Note: With silicone caulking
compound, caulk completely
around where the backplate meets with the wall
surface to prevent water from seeping into the outlet
box.

7. Pull out the source wires from
the outlet box. Make wire
connections using wire
connectors (CC) 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 grounding wire (usually green
insulation or bare wire) to the cross bar unit (AA) with
the green grounding screw, then connect it to the
house grounding wire with the wire connector (CC).

Turn wall switch OFF-ON
in 0.5~3 Seconds
Turn wall switch OFF-ON
in 0.5~3 Seconds
Fig. 4
Choose a mode by sliding the slide switch. The light will turn on immediately when power is applied. Wait for 30 seconds
to allow the sensor to warm up.
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.
The light will turn on (full brightness) automatically at dusk and 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.

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 increase sensitivity.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise for decrease sensitivity.

Where you install your lantern is important:
Be sure the light is mounted straight on the wall;
otherwise, the detection distance may be limited.

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. The magnitude of adjustment for sensitivity and time may not be
precisely proportionate to the amount when the knob is turned.
(See Fig.5)
3. 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)
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 reflecting object or
other light source.
