Warnings and Cautions

WARNING

• Shut off power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel before removing the
old fixture or installing the new one.

• LEDs can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) shock. Before
installation, discharge yourself by touching a grounded bare metal
surface to remove this hazard. To avoid damage, do not remove the
clear lens over the LED module.

CAUTION

• DO NOT USE THIS FIXTURE WITH A DIMMING CIRCUIT. If dimmer
controls are present, remove them and replace them with regular
electrical switches. If a three-way dimmer is present, replace it with a
regular three-way switch. If unfamiliar with electrical installations, it is
recommended a qualified electrician do the installation.

• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS:

1. Do NOT touch LEDs.

2. Do NOT remove the protective clear LED lens.

3. Do NOT look directly at lighted LEDs for any length of time.

4. Do NOT touch, operate, or install fixture while in contact with water.

5. Electrical requirements: 120 V AC, 60 Hz., 0.31A. Minimum 90° supply
conductors.

6. Do not leave bare wires exposed outside the wall canopy enclosure.

7. Suitable for installation onto round surface mount electrical boxes or
recessed electrical boxes rated for wet locations. Fixture can be wall or
eave mounted. NOT suitable for ground mount installations.

8. Do NOT allow the sensor head to touch the LED head housing. Maintain
at least 1 in. spacing between the LED heads and the sensor head.

9. For proper operation and protection against water damage, the motion
sensor head controls MUST be facing downward.

10. Do NOT mount below 5 ft.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A LOCATION CLOSE TO THE FIXTURE TO
REFER TO THEM AT A LATER TIME.

Select the installation location carefully. Do not install in areas having
pedestrian or motorized traffic, pools or bodies of water, or trees/bushes
that move in the wind. All of these may trigger the motion sensor security
light and may be disruptive to the intended operation of the light. Do NOT
install near other sources of light, as this can fool the Dusk-to-Dawn sensor
into thinking it is daylight.

Installation For Round Surface Mount Electrical Boxes

Disconnect power to the electrical box and remove the old fixture. If more than two
wire leads are present, keep track of which wires were connected together.

Fig. 1

Pull the supply wires out of the electrical box. Using the
machine screws that fit the electrical box, secure the
mounting strap to the electrical box, making sure that
the side marked “FRONT” is facing out (Fig. 1).

Fig. 2

Remove the protective paper barrier from the adhesive
face of the foam gasket. Trace the supply wires through
the openings in the gasket and adhere the gasket to the
mounting strap and outer edge of the round surface
mount electrical box (Fig. 2).

For safety and proper installation, the fixture must be
properly grounded. If unfamiliar with the methods of
properly grounding the fixture, consult with a qualified
electrician. A green copper ground wire is

pre-attached to the fixture. If the electrical box is made

of plastic and/or has a green or bare copper grounding
wire inside, the fixture grounding wire and the electrical box ground wire should be
connected together using one of the wire nuts included

(Fig. 3)

. If the electrical box is
made of metal and already grounded, secure the bare end of the fixture ground wire
to the mounting strap marked “GND” using the green grounding screw. Connect the
supply leads from the electrical box to the fixture wire leads using the wire nuts. The
black lead from the fixture is connected to the black supply lead and the white fixture
lead is connected to the white supply lead

(Fig. 4)

. Tighten the wire nuts properly to
prevent them from coming loose. If needed, use electrical tape to secure the wire
nuts onto the wire leads. Push the excess wires back into the electrical box.

Position the wall plate over the mounting strap so the
center hole of the wall plate aligns with the center hole
in the mounting strap. While holding the wall plate in
place, put the long machine screw through the center
hole of the wall plate and mounting strap. Tighten the

electrical box (Fig. 6). NOTE: Make sure the gasket
properly seals the gap between the wall plate and the electrical box to prevent water
seepage into the electrical box.

The control knob located on the opposite side is marked
SENSITIVITY, which determines the degree of motion
detection. Rotating this knob clockwise raises the

The 180 degree coverage of the motion sensor is
measured side to side (Fig. 3). Therefore, the sensor will
better detect motion across the field of view

that it detects motion moving across the coverage area.

To control the security light from inside the home, activate manual “ON” mode by
toggling the wall light switch OFF and ON within 2 seconds. The security light will turn
on and stay on for approximately 8 hours, or until the dusk-to-dawn sensor detects light
in the morning. Once the dusk-to-dawn sensor detects light, the manual “ON” mode
will automatically go back to its original settings of the AUTO motion sensor mode.

Care and Maintenance

IMPORTANT: This light fixture uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide

light. LEDs do not have a filament to burn out like a traditional light bulb.
LEDs gradually emit less light over their lifetime, but will typically last 36,000
hours in a residential environment.

Periodically clean the fixture and diffuser using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
and soft cloth. When cleaning the fixture, make sure the power is turned off.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto any part of the fixture or LEDs.

Troubleshooting Guide

Extreme hot or cold weather could affect the performance of the built-in sensors that detect
body heat. Certain winter clothing can shield a person’s body heat from the sensor during
extreme cold weather. During extreme hot weather, the sensor may not be able to distinguish
the difference between normal body temperatures and the surrounding high temperatures.
The sensor will begin working normally once weather conditions return to normal.
