ABOUT YOUR DUAL HEAD LED SECURITY SPOTLIGHT

The Dual Head LED Security Spotlight is perfect for porches, doorways, or around the exterior of your home
or business. The 8 super bright LEDs in the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight have an estimated life of
30,000 hours so they should never need changing.

This Dual Head LED Security Spotlight has an adjustable TIME dial that allows light duration of up to
30 seconds. New C cell batteries should last roughly a year with normal usage.

The Dual Head LED Security Spotlight has a built-in motion sensor, which automatically turns on the light
when movement of a heat source (such as people, animals, or cars) is detected in the area. The light
remains on while motion continues to be detected in the area.

The Dual Head LED Security Spotlight has a LUX setting which can be adjusted to control the functioning of
the built-in photosensor so that the light only turns on at night.

The Dual Head LED Security Spotlight requires 3 C cell batteries (not included). The batteries typically
last up to 1 year under normal use. The shorter the time period used, the longer the batteries will last. The

spotlight may function irregularly or not at all at temperatures near or below freezing (20˚
functionality of alkaline batteries. Normal operation will return when the temperature rises.

Adjustment dials are located on the backside of the motion sensor as shown in the pictures below. Grab
the black plastic area of the motion sensor and rotate it until you see the adjustment dials. The dials are
located on the black plastic part of the motion sensor on the side opposite of the front, denoted by an

arrow and the word FRONT on the motion sensor.

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES:

When the batteries run out of power, you can replace the batteries with 3 new C-Cell batteries. Follow the
steps below when replacing the battery.

1. Switch the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight to OFF.

2. Remove the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight from its mounted back.
a.

Remove the thumbscrew from the bottom of the back of the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight.

b.

Gently press on the button on the top of the back of the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight and
pull the light away from the mounting bracket.

3.

If replacing old batteries, carefully remove the old batteries from the battery tray and
three (3) new C-Cell batteries into the battery tray. Ensure that the new batteries are inserted in

the correct +/- polarity orientation as indicated in the battery compartment.

WARNING: BATTERIES

4. Press the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight back into the mounted back until the top button clicks

5. Replace the thumb screw in the bottom of the back of the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight.

6. Switch the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight back to AUTO

NOTE: DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN GENERAL HOUSEHOLD TRASH OR INTO A
FIRE SINCE THE BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE. CONSULT YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS FOR
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES. DO NOT TAKE APART THE BATTERIES SINCE THEY
CONTAIN CORROSIVE CHEMICALS.

of 130º at a distance of up to 26 feet when the surrounding temperature is 75°F. The outside temperature
will impact the detection distance. As temperatures get colder the motion sensor will become more sensitive
and the range of the motion sensor will increase.

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR DUAL HEAD LED SECURITY SPOTLIGHT:

TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALL:

If mounting to wood or a softer surface, you only need a Phillips-head screwdriver If mounting to concrete,

brick, or a harder surface, a drill should be used to create mounting holes first.

Use the included mounting bracket and (2) screws with rubber washers to mount the Dual Head LED

Security Spotlight securely to a wall.

TO INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET:

1.

Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the light by unscrewing the (one)

thumb screw and pushing the button at the top of the base of the back of the light.

2. Hold the mounting bracket up to the wall where you want to mount it.

3. If you need to drill, use the holes in the mounting bracket to identify where to drill on the

mounting surface. Once identified, remove mounting bracket and drill holes in the mounting
surface.

4. Once you have drilled the holes or if no drilling is needed, hold the mounting bracket back up

to the mounting surface. Drive the screws completely in, securing the mounting bracket to
the mounting surface. Make sure the rubber washers are under the heads of the screws.

5. Tighten both screws and slide the light over the mounting bracket until the button on

top clicks into place. Then replace the thumb screw in the bottom of the light and
mounting bracket.

OPERATING YOUR DUAL HEAD LED SECURITY SPOTLIGHT

After installing new batteries in your Dual Head LED Security Spotlight, move the switch on the main body
to the AUTO position. When you do this, the light should activate immediately, regardless of lighting
conditions or motion. This is a test activation to show there is power flowing from the batteries to the light.
It should last roughly 30 seconds. After this test activation, the light will function based on the dial settings
mentioned below. Your Dual Head LED Security Spotlight is now ready for use.

On the back of the motion sensor, there are 3 adjustment dials: TIME,
SENS, and LUX

The Dual Head LED Security Spotlight has been factory preset as follows:
TIME - Set at 15 seconds.

SENS – Set at a 10 - 15 foot range (when the surrounding temperature
is 75 F).

LUX - Set for your Security Light to activate at dusk when motion is
detected.

If the above settings are not suitable for your application, then these may be adjusted by spinning the motion
sensor around so you have access to the dials on the backside.

TIME PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

The time period control dial sets the duration that the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight will remain illuminated
after the last detected motion. The time period has an adjustable range of 10 seconds to 30 seconds.

To decrease the time period, move the dial toward the ( – ) symbol.
To increase the time period, move the dial toward the ( + ) symbol.
Test the time period by triggering the motion sensor and measure the time period the light stays on. Adjust

the TIME control until the desired illumination duration is reached.
A shorter TIME setting will conserve battery life. For best results, use the shortest TIME setting for your

location as possible.

MOTION SENSOR RANGE ADJUSTMENT

The motion sensor on Dual Head LED Security Spotlight is temperature-sensitive. The cooler the
temperature, the more sensitive the motion sensor will become. Use the SENS dial to adjust the sensitivity
of the motion sensor to compensate for environmental temperature changes. The motion sensor is most
sensitive when the SENS dial is turned fully clockwise (+).

To decrease sensitivity, move the dial toward the ( – ) symbol.
To increase sensitivit
T

o test the motion sensitivity, aim the sensor head toward the desired area. Set the TIME dial to minimum
( – ) position and the LUX dial to maximum (+). Walk slowly around the area of detection, changing your
walking pace until the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight comes on. If light does not come on, you may need
to adjust the direction of the sensor unit. Make adjustments as needed until the desired level of sensitivity is
reached. Re-adjust the TIME and SENS dials when complete.

LIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The LUX dial controls the natural light level that triggers the Dual Head LED Security Spotlight and prevents
it from operating during daylight hours. Your Dual Head LED Security Spotlight comes preset for activation
at dusk.

To adjust for activation before dusk, move the dial toward maximum (+).
To adjust for activation after dusk, move the dial toward minimum (-).

RETURN ADJUSTMENT DIALS TO THE BACKSIDE

front. Adjustment dials should be on the backside of the motion sensor during every day use.
