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 easy installation, select an existing light operated
by a wall switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fixture about 8 ft. (2.4 m)
above the ground.
8 ft. (2.4 m), aiming the sensor down will reduce coverage
distance.
CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 1" (2.5 cm)
away from the lamps.
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" (5 cm) from combustible
materials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet
(1 m).
• Use only T3, 150W (max.) tungsten halogen 120
VAC lamps.
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.
Also for proper under eave operation, remove the
protective backing from the light shield and stick on as
shown below.
NOTE:
If fixture is mounted higher than

Bulb Installation
NOTE: Lamps are included, but you will need to install
them
NOTE: When re-lamping, turn power off and let the
fixture cool.
❒ Open glass covers. To remove the old bulb push
the bulb towards the right until the left side of the
bulb is clear of the left socket.
❒ To install a bulb, push the bulb into the right socket
so the bulb fits completely into the left socket.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Close the glass covers.
Wire the Light Control
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 bolt.
❒ Make sure the wire connectors and wires are inside
the junction box. Align the mounting bolt with the
center hole in the mounting strap. Secure the fixture
to the mounting strap.
❒ Push the rubber plug firmly into place.

Rubber Plug
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk the
wall plate and mounting surface with silicone.
❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts
but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180°
from the factory setting.
Push the rubber plug
over the mounting bolt.
CAUTION: Do not cut any wires with factory
installed wire connectors.

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.

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.
