DualBrite® Timer

Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables
this feature. The motion sensing features will continue
to work as described in this manual. If motion is sensed,
the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or
20 minutes) then returns to dim mode.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must
be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper

operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

For eave mount only:
❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp

screw joint.

Clamp Screw

❒ Rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so the

INSTALLATION

For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.

For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft. (2.4
m) above the ground.
than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce
coverage distance.

CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 2" (51 mm)

away from the bulbs.

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
materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3' (1 m).

• Use only T4 100W (max.), G8 tungsten halogen
bi-pin 120 VAC bulbs.

NOTE:

If fixture is mounted higher

If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the
clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball
joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.

Bulb Installation

NOTE: When re-lamping, turn power off and let the

fixture cool.
❒ To remove lamp shade, loosen set screw 2 full

turns with a small flat-head screwdriver. Turn shade
counterclockwise and remove.

❒ To remove bulb, pull straight out of fixture.
❒ To replace bulb, firmly push bulb pins into lamp

socket until completely seated.

❒ To reinstall lamp shade, place shade on fixture and

align notches on shade with tabs on fixture. Turn
clockwise. Tighten set screw firmly.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker

or fuse.

❒ Remove the existing light fixture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws

appropriate for your junction box.

❒ 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.

❒ Thread all fixture wires through the large holes in

the gasket as shown.

❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light fixture

wires as shown. Twist together and secure with
wire connectors.

Mount the Light Control

❒ Place the mounting bolt through the front of the

junction box cover. Push the small gasket hole over
the mounting screw.

❒ Make sure the wire connectors and wires are inside

the junction box. Align the mounting screw with the
center hole in the mounting strap. Secure the fixture
to the mounting strap.

❒ Push the rubber plug firmly into place.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk the

wall plate and mounting surface with silicone.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.

NOTE: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up period

before it will detect motion. When first turned
on, wait 1 1/2 minutes.

❒ Turn the RANGE control to the medium position

(halfway between MIN and MAX), DualBrite® to OFF,
and the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

NOTE:

If fixture is mounted higher than 8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming
the sensor down will reduce coverage distance.
The detector is less sensitive to motion directly towards it.
