INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 1" (25 mm)
away from the bulbs.
• Note the position of the various parts of the fixture for
the type of installation for your application and adjust
the lamp head and sensor as shown below.
Wall Mount Eave Mount
CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:
• Allow fixture to cool before touching. The bulb and
the fixture operate at high temperatures.
•
Keep fixture at least 2" (51 mm) from combustible ma-
terials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet (1 m).
• Use only T3, 250W (maximum) tungsten halogen
120 VAC lamps.
For easy installation, select an existing light operated
by a wall switch for replacement. IMPORTANT: Do NOT
use with dimmers or timers.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 feet
(2.4 m) above the ground. NOTE: If fixture is mounted
higher than 8 feet (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will
reduce coverage distance.

Before installing the light fixture under an eave, the
sensor head must be rotated as shown in the next
two steps for proper operation and to avoid the risk of
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: For proper under-eave operation, install
light shield (included). See Light Shield Installation
for details.
For eave mount only:
1. Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

NOTE: Light fixture and sensor should be mounted as
shown above when installed (depending upon type of
installation).

Bulb Installation and Replacement
CAUTION: When replacing the bulb, turn power
off and let the fixture cool.
Important: Use a clean glove or cloth when handling
the new bulb. Use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to clean
the bulb if it is touched with your bare hands.
NOTE: The bulb is included, but needs to be installed.
The bulb is located behind the glass cover of the
lamp head.
1. Remove glass cover and remove the old bulb by
pushing the bulb towards the right until the left side
of the bulb is clear of the left socket.
2. To install the bulb, place one end of the bulb on the
contact in the right socket. While pushing the bulb
against the right contact, lower the other end of the
bulb onto the contact in the left socket.
3. Spin the bulb to verify it is seated properly.
4. Re-install the glass cover.
For proper operation and safety, the light fixture must
be above the sensor and the sensor head must be
rotated so that the controls are on the bottom.
Wire the Light Control
1. Turn the power to the lighting circuit off at the
fuse or circuit breaker box.
2. Remove the existing light fixture.
3. Install mounting strap to junction box using screws
appropriate for your junction box.
4. The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fixture
while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger
can be threaded through the hole in the center of
the cover plate. The small end then goes into one
of the slots on the mounting strap.
5. Thread all fixture wires through the large holes in
the gasket as shown.
6. Connect the junction box wires to the light fixture
wires as shown. Twist together and secure with wire
connectors.

2. Push the rubber plug firmly into place.
3. If a wet location junction box was not used, caulk
the wall plate mounting surface with silicone weather
sealant.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
1. Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor has about 1 1/2 minutes warm up period
before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
2. Turn the RANGE control to the minimum position (MIN) and the ON-TIME control to the TEST
position.
ON-TIME
10 5 1 TEST
Bottom of Sensor
Avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners. These heat
sources could cause false triggering.
• Areas where pets or traffic may trigger the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects reflecting light
may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other
lights at the sensor.

1. Loosen the clamp screw in the
sensor ball joint and gently
rotate the sensor.
2. Walk through the coverage
area noting where you are
when the lights turn on (also,
the LED will flash several times
when motion is detected). Move
the sensor head up, down, or
sideways to change the coverage area. Keep the sensor at
least 1" (2.5 cm) away from
the lamp.
3. Adjust the RANGE as needed.
RANGE set too high may
increase false triggering.
4. Secure the sensor head
by tightening the clamp
screw. Do not overtighten
the screw.
5. Set the amount of TIME you want the lights to stay
on after motion is detected (1, 5, or 10 minutes).
WARNING - Risk of fire. Do not aim the bulbs
at a combustible surface within 3 ft. (1 m).

Light Shield Installation
If your light does not come on at dusk or turns off unexpectedly, then another light source may be activating
the daytime shutoff feature. Possible sources of light
interference are street lights, landscape lighting, other
security lights or lanterns, or an interior house light shining through a window. It could also be reflective light,
such as from a pool or light colored wall.
To install the light shield, follow these simple steps.
1. Remove protective backing from the bottom of the
light shield.
2. Position light shield over the photocell with the
opening facing away from the interfering light.
3. Press the adhesive side firmly against the photocell
to mount it permanently in place.
