hours.

Package Contents

• Lantern

• Easy to use Universal Mounting Bracket
(X-bar)

• Mounting Hardware

• Wire Connectors

• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control
must be wired through a switch.

Some electrical codes require installa-

•

tion by a qualified electrician.

TEST

Set the ON-TIME switch
on the bottom of the cover
plate to TEST.

AUTO

Set ON-TIME switch to
1, 5, or 10 minutes.

MANUAL MODE

Manual mode only works at
night because daylight re­turns the sensor to AUTO.

Flip the light switch off for
one second then back on to
toggle between AUTO and
MANUAL MODE.

Manual mode works only with
the ON-TIME switch in the 1,
5, or 10 position.

DualBrite® Dimmer Control

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
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.

Due to the size and weight of the fixture, you
may find it helpful to have an assistant hold the
fixture in place while connecting the wires.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit

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.

Recommended Grounding Method

Use a green ground “pigtail” (not provided) and

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 none of the wires get pinched.

Slide the fixture onto the

mounting screws and

tighten nuts.

Box

❒ Install light bulb. See fixture markings for

proper bulb type and wattage.

❒ Install the fixture top. Secure with

decorative screws.

❒ After completing the tests on page 6, caulk

fixture mounting surface with silicone

weather sealant.

TESTING

❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light

switch.

The detector is less sensitive to motion di­rectly towards it and more sensitive to across
motion.

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.

Note: Meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines
when DualBrite® function is off.

❒ Switch the on-time to TEST position and

DualBrite® switch to the OFF position.

TEST 1 5 10 MIN

ON-TIME

OFF 3 6 DUSK TO

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
reflecting daylight may trigger the shut-off
feature. Do not point other lights at the
sensor.

❒ Walk through the coverage area noting

where you are when the lights turn on.

❒ If you need to change the sensitivity,

temporarily remove the fixture and make
the adjustment. Too much sensitivity may
increase false triggering.

❒ Set the amount of TIME you want the light

to stay on after motion is detected. (1, 5,
or 10 minutes).

❒ Set the amount of time after dusk you want

the lights on accent level.
