DUAL-HEAD
LED SECURITY SPOTLIGHT

ASSEMBLY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 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˚ F/-6˚ C) due to the

functionality of alkaline batteries. Normal operation will return when the temperature rises.

INCLUDED PARTS:

Carefully remove and identify all the parts from their protective packaging and lay them out in front of you.

Adjustment dials are located on the backside of the motion sensor as shown in the pictures below. Rotate
the motion sensor so you have access to the backside of it. This is the side that is 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.

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

a. 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.

b. If replacing old batteries, carefully remove the old batteries from the battery tray by hand and

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR DUAL HEAD LED SECURITY SPOTLIGHT:

This Dual Head LED Security Spotlight provides safety and security around your home. It is ideal for lighting
up areas where electricity is not available such as porches, driveways, carports outside, garages and
entrance areas.

When deciding where to mount the light, keep in mind that the motion sensor has a horizontal eld of vision
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:

You only need a Phillips head screwdriver, however if you want to mount into harder surfaces like cement,

concrete, or brick, you will want to pre-drill holes.

Use the included mounting bracket and (2) screws 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 base of the light.

Be careful not to damage the mounting bracket as it also serves as the back of the light and the
battery cover.

2. Align the mounting bracket on the wall and mark the locations of the two holes to be drilled with a
pencil. Remove the mounting bracket from the wall.

3. Drill pilot holes for screws if needed. Screw anchors should be used for cement, brick, or similar
surfaces.

4. Align the mounting bracket on the wall and install the two screws using a screwdriver.

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

into place. You will have to press the button down rst to get the mount to slide into place.

6. Replace the thumb screw in the base of the back.

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. 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 sensitivity, move the dial toward the ( + ) symbol.

To 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

When nished with adjustments, rotate motion sensor so that the arrow and the word FRONT are visible in

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