DualBrite® Dimmer Control
Light comes on dim for selected time after
dusk (Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). If motion
is sensed, the light turns on full bright for the
ON-TIME (1, 5, or 10 minutes) then returns
to dim mode.
INSTALLATION
Estimated Installation Time: 30 minutes
Items needed for installation (not included):
• Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
• Pliers • Wire strippers/cutters
• Safety glasses • Light bulb
• Silicone caulk
For best performance, mount the fixture about
6 feet (1.8 m) above the ground.
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit
breaker or fuse.

WIRING
Note: All wiring should be run in accordance
with the National Electrical Code through
conduit or another acceptable means.
Contact a qualified electrician if there is
any question as to the suitability of the
system.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect the RED
wire unless you want to control other
lights from the motion sensor.
❒ Twist the junction box wires and the
fixture wires together as shown below.
Secure with wire connectors. If you have
a metal junction box, you may not need
the green “pigtail”. If you are unsure about
the grounding method, consult your local
building code.
Connect the fixture wires to the wires in the
junction box. Twist the wires together and
secure with wire connectors.

OPTIONAL WIRING
This fixture is provided with a sensor rated for 360 Watts. Since the fixture is only rated 100
Watts (180 Watts candelabra), 260 Watts (180 Watts candelabra) of additional load may be
controlled by this sensor.
When determining what a fixture is rated for, do not simply look at the rating on the lamp in
the fixture. Look at the marking which specifies the maximum lamp wattage for which the
fixture is suitable.
Once you have selected the fixtures to be connected and determined their maximum ratings,
add these ratings up. For instance, if you have 3 fixtures rated 100 Watts, 150 Watts, and
75 Watts respectively, you have a total load of 325 Watts.
Wiring Diagram 1 – When wiring to control a standard light fixture: Strip the motion sensor’s
red wire and connect to the standard light’s black wire. Connect all white wires together.
Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).
Wiring Diagram 2 – When wiring to control another motion sensing light fixture (Master /
Slave): Strip the red wire in both light fixtures. Connect the red wire of the controlling (master)
fixture to the red and black wires of the controlled (slave) fixture. Connect all white wires
together. Total fixture ratings must not exceed 360 Watts (3.0 A).

It is also possible to wire two motion lights so that either fixture will turn on both lights at the
same time (dual master system). It is recommended that only people with plenty of electrical
experience attempt this configuration. Please call our customer service number (1-800-8588501 - English speaking only) before attempting this wiring. If the dual master wiring is not
done correctly, it can destroy both motion sensing fixtures and void your warranty.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
❒ Stuff the wires into the junction box. Make
sure the wires from the fixture go through
the wire path, and no wires get pinched.
Slide the fixture onto the
mounting screws and
tighten nuts.
Junction
Box
❒ Caulk fixture mounting surface with
silicone weather sealant. You may want
to wait until you have completed the tests
and adjustments on page 6.
❒ Install light bulb. See fixture markings for
proper bulb type and wattage.
❒ If so equipped, install the fixture top. Secure
with decorative screws.
❒ If you will not be installing the optional tail
assembly, install the decorative nut onto
the bottom of the fixture now.
Optional Assembly
❒ If so equipped, you may install the decora-
tive tail as shown below.

TESTING
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light
switch.
Note: Sensor has a 1 1/2 minute warm up pe-
riod before it will detect motion. When
first turned on wait 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Switch the on-time to TEST position and
DualBrite® switch to the OFF position.

❒ Walk through the coverage area noting
where you are when the lights turn on.
Move the sensor head left or right to
change the coverage area.
Avoid aiming the control at:
• Pools of water or 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 reflect-
ing daylight may trigger the shut-off feature.
Do not point other lights at the sensor.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Bulb is loose or burned out.
3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker
is turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect
(recheck after dark).
5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this
is a new installation.
6. Re-aim the sensor to cover
desired area.
1. Light Control may be installed
in a relatively dark location.
2. Light Control is in Test. (Set
control switch to an ON-TIME
position.)
1. Light Control may be sensing
small animals or automobile
traffic (re-aim sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high.
(Reduce sensitivity.)
SYMPTOM
Light stays on
continuously.
Light flashes
on and off.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. The sensor is pointed at nearby
objects that cause heat to trigger
the sensor. (Aim the sensor
away from nearby objects.)
2. The sensor is pointed toward
a heat source like an air vent,
dryer vent, or brightly-painted
heat-reflective surface. (Re-
aim sensor.)
1. Heat being reflected from other
