READ ENTIRE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE BEFORE YOU BEGIN!
LIGHT FIXTURE REQUIRES A 120VAC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
LIGHT MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
SOME REGIONAL/LOCAL CODES REQUIRE INSTALLATION BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING!
- This fixture can only be installed over a recessed electrical box OR a UL-Listed surface mount electrical box rated for wet locations. Surface mount electrical boxes require the use of the included foam gasket, to prevent water from seeping into the electrical box.
- Do not look directly at the LEDs for an extended period of time. They can cause eye damage.
- BURN HAZARD: Keep fixture’s lamp heads at least 2 in. from combustible material.
- To avoid water damage, position light heads and sensor head in the correct position as indicated.
CAUTION!
- BURN HAZARD: Allow light to cool down prior to touching.
- Minimum 90°C supply conductors. For fixture electrical ratings, see fixture label.
- Please consult a qualified electrician if you are unfamiliar with electrical installations, or methods of properly grounding an electrical fixture.
- Fixture will reliably operate between the temperatures of -20°F to 122°F. (At temperatures above 92°F, the PIR may not detect body heat.)
ATTENTION
- If the power goes out, the fixture will maintain previous settings, so there is no need to go up the ladder to adjust once the power has been restored. Fixture will need 20-30 seconds to warm up once turned back on.
- LEDs can be damaged by electrostatic discharge shock. To remove this hazard, touch a grounded bare metal surface to discharge yourself before installation.

Things to Consider Prior to Mounting
SELECT A LOCATION THAT ALLOWS THE SENSOR TO PERFORM AT ITS PEAK EFFICIENCY.
MINIMUM MOUNTING HEIGHT: 8 FT.
OPTIMAL MOUNTING HEIGHT: 8-10 FT.
Mounting above 10 ft. can decrease the sensor detection range.
DO NOT mount near light sources (street lights, traffic).
DUAL PASSIVE INFRARED (PIR) SENSOR ZONES
THE FIXTURE USES A PASSIVE INFRARED (PIR) MOTION SENSOR AND AS SUCH DETECTS CHANGES IN INFRARED RADIATION OF WARM OBJECTS MOVING ACROSS THE DETECTION ZONES.
- The PIR sensor can be triggered by a variety of sources including dryer vents, hot tubs, idling vehicles, etc.
- The PIR sensor CANNOT detect motion through plexiglass, plastic, or glass barriers.
- DO NOT aim the PIR toward areas with pedestrian and motorized traffic and/or other objects that generate heat.
- DO NOT mount near nighttime light sources (street lights, traffic). Light sources can cause the light to operate in daylight mode.
How to Wire the Light
DANGER! SHUT OFF POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXTURE.
For Surface Box Mounting ONLY:
Remove the protective liner from the gasket, align the center hole of the
gasket with that of the mounting strap, and apply the gasket to the outer edge
of the surface mounting box as shown.
Insert junction box wires into the electrical box connector
CAUTION: WIRES MUST BE FULLY INSERTED INTO THE CONTACT HOLES.
How to Wire the Light
Connect the box and the fixture connector
Fasten the mounting screw
Align the center hole of the fixture and the mounting strap. Insert the long
mounting screw and fasten it until the light is secure to the junction box.
CAUTION: DO NOT PINCH WIRES WHEN TIGHTENING DOWN.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Verify light works
IMPORTANT AIM THE PIR SENSOR TOWARD THE INTENDED DETECTION AREA. THE PIR CONTROL PANEL SHOULD FACE DOWNWARD TOWARD THE GROUND FOR EASY ACCESS.
How the Controls Work
The fixture has a built-in light sensor that prevents the motion sensor or
area light from activating during daylight hours. Once the power has been
turned on, the fixture needs about 20 seconds to warm up. The light will turn
off after around 20 seconds, then the light will go to the Set To Go factory
presets (50ft. detection range, 3 minute light activation, 5000K color
temperature, and the Area Light setting will be off).
FACTORY PRESETS
Set To Go: The security light is PRESET at the factory with the
following settings:
If these settings are acceptable for your needs, you don’t need to do anything more with the SetToGo settings except to do the actual electrical installation of the fixture.
ATTENTION! To change the factory SetToGo default settings, follow the instructions below.
Customize Settings
SECURITY LIGHT SENSOR RANGE SETTINGS
To change the sensitivity of the PIR distance sensing, rotate the “Range”
dial the preferred setting:
5Ft: 5 feet, short range
30Ft: 30 feet, average range
60Ft: 60 feet, long range
Max.: Up to 100 feet, extra long range
Rotate the RANGE control knob to any of the marked presets: 5Ft. to Max. (_~100 ft.). When the RANGE control knob is turned to 5Ft., the detection zone is very tight and compact, causing the detection sensitivity to be very high. When the RANGE control knob is turned to Max., the detection zone becomes very broad, resulting in a low sensitivity.
VERIFYING RANGE SETTING
To confirm the set distance, perform a “walk-by test.” Walk straight across
the sensor field at the approximate distance set on the RANGE control knob.
IF THE TEST FAILS, try adjusting the sensor head toward the detection zone.
Sensor head can be adjusted either up, down, left, or right.
SECURITY LIGHT (HIGH BEAM) TIME SETTINGS
To change the duration the light remains on after detecting motion, rotate
the “Minutes” dial to the preferred setting:
Test: ONLY use during initial set-up. “Test” allows the motion detector to
work during daylight hours to fine-tune the PIR sensitivity.
1’: Light will stay on for 1 minute after PIR detects motion.
2’: Light will stay on for 2 minutes after PIR detects motion.
5’: Light will stay on for 5 minutes after PIR detects motion.
10’: Light will stay on for 10 minutes after PIR detects motion.
IMPORTANT: THE DIAL MUST BE ROTATED AWAY FROM THE TEST SETTING FOR THE LIGHT ACTIVATION TO WORK PROPERLY. ROTATE THE DIAL TO A POINT ANYWHERE BETWEEN THE 1’ AND 10’ SETTINGS AND THE LIGHT WILL ONLY ACTIVATE DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS.
AREA LIGHT (LOW BEAM) TIME SETTINGS
The “Area Light” feature allows the installation area to be lit during
evening hours at a lower light level (~30% intensity of the “Security Light” )
for longer periods of time. Activating the “Area Light” will in no way cancel
out or interfere with the activation of the “Security Light.”
5Ft: 5 feet, short range
30Ft: 30 feet, average range
60Ft: 60 feet, long range
Max.: Up to 100 feet, extra long range
IMPORTANT THE “AREA LIGHT” CANNOT AND WILL NOT OVERRIDE THE ACTIVATION OF
THE “SECURITY LIGHT” OR ITS SETTINGS.
WHEN THE “AREA LIGHT” FEATURE IS ENABLED, IT WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SAME TIME
SETTING EACH NIGHT, UNTIL THE SETTINGS ARE CHANGED, OR THE FEATURE IS
DISABLED.
COLOR TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
To change the white color of the light, rotate the “Color Temperature” dial
to the preferred setting:
3000K Warm white
4000K Bright white
5000K Daylight white
Rotate the COLOR TEMPERATURE control knob to either 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K to set the light color.
Manual Override
To Switch to Manual Mode
To return to “AUTO” mode: Turn the switch to the OFF position for 10 seconds and then ON.
Troubleshooting Guide
DANGER! Before doing any work on the fixture, shut off power supply at the circuit breaker panel to avoid electrical shock.
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
|---|---|---|
| Security light does not come on. | 1. Light switch is of. |
2. Fuse is blown. Circuit breaker has tripped.
3. Fixture not properly wired to J-box.
4. It is daylight.
5. Motion sensor is pointed in the wrong direction.
6. Air temperature is about the same as a person’s body temperature and the motion sensor cannot “see” the person.
| 1. Turn light switch on.
2. Replace fuse. Turn the circuit breaker back on.
3. Reinstall light fixture.
4. Recheck at night.
5. Readjust motion sensor.
** 6. Decrease the RANGE** control setting.
Light continuously cycles ON and OFF (strobe efect).| 1. Light sensor is triggered by reflected light from the security light itself.
2. Heat is being reflected from other sources and may be triggering sensor on and of.
| 1. Change the position of the light head and aim light away from the reflecting surfaces.
2. Decrease the RANGE control setting.
Light turns on during daylight hours.| 1. Light may be installed in
shadows/dark area.| 1. Light is operating as it was designed. Use manual
override if necessary.
Light comes on for no apparent reason.| 1. Sensor may be triggered by a small
animal or passing car.
2. Hot air (dryer vent, car exhaust, etc.) may be triggering the sensor.
| 1. Decrease the RANGE control setting as necessary.
** 2. Increase the RANGE** control setting as necessary.
Light stays on continuously at night.| 1. Motion sensor may be picking up a
continuous flow of warm air from an air vent, dryer vent, or heat reflecting
of a surface.| 1. Reposition the motion sensor.
2. Manual override may be activated.| 2. Wait until next day for internal
dusk-to-dawn sensor to detect next dusk-dawn cycle. Once light is detected,
this will allow motion sensor to return to controlling the fixture.
Light flashes on for 20 seconds at a time, day or night.| 1. The MINUTES
control knob is set to TEST.| 1. Set the MINUTES control knob
somewhere between 1 and 10.
