INSTRUCTION MANUAL

28W 2300lm LED Security Floodlight with PIR

GL-ML28P/BLK & GL-ML28P/WH

The LED Security Floodlight with PIR is an energy efficient outdoor LED floodlight
which detects movement through its built-in PIR sensor. The floodlight is suitable for
installation on solid walls in a range of locations, including entrances, staircases,
gardens, garages and outdoor parking areas

2. Safety Instructions

Please read the following safety information carefully before installing or operating the
floodlight:

The floodlight must be installed by a qualified electrician and checked to ensure that it is safe

before using.

Make sure that the electric power supply is switched off before making wiring connections.

There is a real risk of injury or death while the power supply circuit is live.

Protect all cables against short circuit and overload.

Ensure that the floodlight is connected to an electrical power source of corresponding

voltage.

Do not look directly into the light or point it towards another persons eyes. This light has a

very intense light output which, if correctly used, could cause eye damage.

You can minimise the risk of electric shock by installing appropriate safety devices. (Eg by

incorporating a residual current breaker (RCCB) into the main distribution board).

5. Selecting a Mounting Location

• Mount the floodlight on to a solid wall,

3-5m (10-16ft) above the ground (Fig 1.)

• DO NOT mount the floodlight near heat sources such as
hot ventilator ducts, air conditioning units, street lighting
or traffic, which can interfere with its operation.

• Avoid pointing towards objects that move in the wind, such
as trees or shrubs, or towards highly reflective surfaces.

• When positioning the light note that the PIR sensor is
more sensitive to a heat source moving across its coverage
area and less sensitive to those that move towards the
PIR sensor. (Fig 2.)

6. Installing the Floodlight

WARNING! Be sure to turn off the power supply to the fuse box before connecting the wires.
There is no safe way to make this connection with a live circuit.

1. Drill a hole in the wall to pass the wires from the power source

2. Hold the mounting base in the desired position on the wall, then mark the locations of the
screw holes. Drill a pilot hole into each screw hole location.

3. Pierce the grommet in the mounting base and thread the cable from the power source
through the grommet.

4. Screw the mounting box onto the wall using the wall plugs and mounting screws provided.

Note: Make sure that the drain is aligned towards the bottom.

5. Strip approximately 6mm (¼ in) of insulation from each of the wires.
Connect the wires to the terminals inside the junction box as follows (Fig 4), ensuring that
no copper remains exposed.

• Connect the BROWN (Live) wire to the terminal with the BROWN wire

• Connect the BLUE (Neutral) wire to the terminal with the BLUE wire

• Connect the YELLOW-GREEN (Earth) wire to the terminal with the YELLOW-GREEN wire
