SImx Mightylite LHT0237, Mightylite LHT0236 Installation Manual
CALIBRATION
This light fitting only operates when the PIR sensor is activated by heat movement within its detection zone.
Once power is connected, the unit requires approx. 60 sec to warmup. During this time the light will turn on
for approx. 5 sec then turn itself off. Do not commence any walk tests until this time has elapsed.
The TIME adjustment (marked “T”) has a minimum setting of approx. 15sec (counter clockwise rotation
to the end) which it should be set to for walk testing the unit. Adjust this setting clockwise to the preferred
duration the light activates for when it last detects movement. The maximum clockwise setting is approx. 5
mins. The timer will restart each time the sensor detects any new movement.
The LUX adjustment (marked “F”) sets the acceptable amount of light present before the unit will activate.
Rotating the dial to position “5” sets the light to activate during daylight and position “1” sets the light to
activate only at night. Set to desired activation point depending on the needs of the installation.
The RANGE adjustment (marked “R) alters the range of detection and the amount of infra-red radiation (heat)
required to trigger the sensor. To be effective but keep nuisance tripping to a minimum, it is advised to turn
the RANGE control to the middle position where the ambient temperature is between 15°-20°C. This range
sensitivity adjustment can also be used to compensate for the changes in outside air temperature in Winter
(set lower) and Summer (set higher).

AIMING
To aim the Mightylite, simply hold the connection box firmly whilst pivoting the head of the floodlight to the
required location.
NOTE: That this LED light has very intensive light output, which if incorrectly used could cause
eye damage. Care and consideration should be taken when the unit is located close to property
boundaries, to avoid unnecessary spill light or glare to neighbours, and to avoid unwanted
activation of the PIR by passing pedestrians or vehicles.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
Mount the floodlight on a solid wall 3-5 metres above the ground. Avoid positioning the light near
heat sources, such as hot ventilator ducts, air conditioning units, exhaust outlets, street lighting or
traffic which may interfere with PIR operation.
Avoid pointing the sensor towards objects that may move in the wind such as trees or shrubs,
or at highly reflective surfaces. Do not install this light in any location where it is likely to be knocked
or hit, or in hot or humid conditions such as bathrooms, shower rooms, or saunas. Due to the
heat output from the lamp, this light should not be directed at a wall or object within 1 metre.
When positioning the light, note that the PIR sensor is more sensitive to a heat source moving
across its coverage area and less sensitive to a heat source that moves directly towards the PIR
sensor.
INSTALLING THE CONNECTION BOX
We strongly recommend a registered electrician installs this floodlight.
Warning: Isolate the power supply before installation
The unit requires connection to a mains electrical supply. It is recommended that the unit is
connected using a core round flexible cable of at least 0.75mm² gauge. This gauge will help to
ensure that IP ratings are maintained.
Position the unit on the wall and mark the desired position for the connection box. Can be
positioned in either landscape or portrait planes. Ensure that cabling can easily enter the connection
box through either the knock-out at the rear of the box, or through those on the sides.
Use the connection box fixing holes to mark the 4 drill holes required to secure the box to the wall
(and mark the cable outlet location if required). Drill the wall and screw the connection box on to the
wall using the screws and wall plugs provided.
NOTE: If feeding the power cable through the knockout at the rear of the box, this will
need to be removed, the sealing grommet fitted and the cable pushed through BEFORE
it is secured to the wall. Once the screws are fitted, the screw cover caps (supplied) must
be used to maintain IP rating. Using the rear sealing grommet correctly will provide an
IP44 rating.
If feeding the power cable through a knockout on the side of the connection box the sealing gland
(supplied) should be used. Once the sealing gland is fixed to the connection box the cable should
be secured in place by gently tightening the outside cap to ensure the cable is secured firmly and
no water can get through into the connection box. When correctly installed, this gland will provide
an IP65 rating.
CONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
There are several wiring configurations available for multiple unit installations of the Mightylite as
detailed in this manual. Up to 5 MightyLite PIR floodlights can be added to a Master unit. If more are
required a contactor or relay will be needed.
For standalone single unit installation, neutral, live and earth connections are used. The ‘Switch Live’
should not be used or linked in this instance as it may cause major failure to the product.
This is a Class I product requiring earth connections.

NOTE: Above option could prevent another fitting
in close proximity from working due to the photcell
picking up the light from the illuminated unit and
the photocell may think it is daytime & not operate.
Successful operation will depend on the installed
spacing and aiming of each luminaire.
Once circuit wiring is completed, ensure the cover of the connection box has the gasket in place, then using
the screws provided secure the cover firmly to the connection box. We recommend the external screw cover
caps (supplied) be put in place, only after the electrical testing and calibration is completed.
