Thank you for purchasing this Winsome House product. This product has been manufactured with the highest standards
of safety and quality.
Product Name:
LED Solar Motion Sensor Light
SKU #:
WHSL434
Operating Instructions
BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT: READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
How Your Solar Motion Sensor Light Works:
During the day, the solar charge panel included with this Solar LED PIR Spotlight converts sunlight into electricity
recharging the batteries. Using this stored energy, the LED light turns on automatically at night when motion is detected.
The light works with a built-in PIR (Passive InfraRed) sensing device which is continuously scanning for heat-source moving
in its detection scope. Once a heat source (such as a human or a car) is detected in that area, the light switches on
immediately and automatically to illuminate your pathways, steps, patios, porches, or anywhere you select for safety,
convenience, and security. The light remains on while the moving heat source stays in the detecting scope.
 Motion-activated light
 White LED stays on for 60 seconds.
Choosing a Location for Your Solar Motion Light:
For optimum sun exposure and longer light output, place the solar panel in a position that receives at least 8 hours of
direct sunlight per day. Placing the solar panel in a shaded location will not allow the batteries to fully charge and will
reduce the number of operating hours for the light. In choosing a location for your solar motion sensor light, ensure that
the solar panel is not placed near the near night light sources, such as a porch light or street light.
Ideally, for maximum detection range, the light should be mounted 2 to 2.5 meters (6 to 8 feet) above the area to be
scanned. This solar motion sensor light is ideal for areas where electricity is not available, including driveways, carports,
garages, and entrance doors, for added safety and security around your home. When deciding where to mount the light,
please keep in mind that the motion sensor that activates this light has a field vision of 120 degrees (horizontal) at a
maximum distance of 8 meters (26.25 feet).

Product Name:
LED Solar Motion Sensor Light
SKU #:
WHSL434
Operation:
The spotlight has a switch with three modes:
 AUTO Mode: Slide the switch to the left.
The spotlight produces a low 5 lumen output at night, and increase to 50 lumen output when motion is detected. The
50LM activation time is 60 seconds.
 PIR Mode: Slide the switch to the center.
The spotlight will only illuminate when the light sensor is surrounded by darkness, and motion is detected by the
motion sensor. The spotlight will illuminate for 60 seconds.
 OFF Mode: Slide the switch to the right.
The spotlight is OFF and will not turn on.
Installation Tips
For best detecting effect of the PIR, we suggest you consider the following points:
 To avoid unexpected triggering, the sensor should be placed away for heat sources such as barbeques, air
conditioners, other outside lighting, moving cars, flue vent, and strong electromagnetic disturbance source.
 Do not aim the sensor at reflective surfaces such as smooth white walls, swimming pools, etc.
 The PIR sensor’s detection range (max 8 meters or 26.25 feet at 120 degrees round) may vary slightly depending on
the mounting height and location. The detection range may also alter with environment temperature change.
 Before selecting a place to install, please note that the sensor is more sensitive to movement across the scan area
than to movement directly toward or away from the sensor. If the heat sources move directly towards or away for the
sensor and not across, the detection range will be relatively reduced.
First Time Use
Ensure the power switch of your sensor light is the “AUTO” position. In the AUTO position, the solar panel will charge the
batteries without activating the light Leave the switch in “AUTO” for up to 8 hours while the solar panel is placed in direct
sunlight. This will ensure that the batteries in your solar powered motion sensor light have a full charge prior to normal
operation. The PIR motion sensor will also only activate the LED during night time hours.
Maintenance
To keep your solar motion sensor light looking new, keep the lens free of dust and deposits by wiping occasionally with a
dry cloth or with warm soapy water if necessary.
Most important, ensure that the solar panel is kept free of dirt and debris at all times. A dirty solar panel will not allow the
batteries to fully charge, and this will shorten the life of the batteries and may cause the light to not function properly.

Troubleshooting:
Light will not switch
on when there is
movement in the
detection area
 Ensure that the power switch on the main body has been turned to the AUTO position.
 Ensure that the motion sensor has been positioned to face oncoming movement.
 Ensure that the battery has been fully charged in direct sunlight for three sunny days.
 Check to see that the solar cell charge panel is facing south so that it receives direct sunlight for
most of the day, enabling the battery to fully charge.
 Check to see that he solar panel is not near the night time light sources, such as street lights.
Light switches on
during the day
 Ensure the spotlight is not placed in shady area.
 Ensure the solar panel is facing towards direct sunlight.
Light switches on for
no apparent reason
 Moving trees, traffic, pet, or birds may be getting in the area of detection. This may be unavoidable;
however, the sensor could be redirected to a height where this less likely to occur.
 If there are reflective objects in the detection area, such as windows, water, or white walls, you may
need to redirect or possibly reposition the motion sensor.
 Test the motion sensor by covering it completely with cardboard, and waiting several minutes to
make sure it does not detect motion.
Light quickly flashes
on and off
 Battery charge may be low. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and charge the battery for
four (4) sunny days, ensuring the solar cell charge panel has been placed in direct sunlight.
Light is not as bright as
normal
Battery charge may be low. Turn the power switch to the OFF position and charge the battery for four
(4) sunny days, ensuring the solar cell charge panel has been placed in direct sunlight.
