FAQs

Is this light suitable for heavy rain?

The floodlight has an IP44 rating, meaning it is protected against splashing water. It is suitable for general outdoor use but should not be exposed to direct high-pressure water jets or prolonged submersion.

How long do the batteries typically last?

With typical use (around 6 switch-ons per day), a set of batteries can last approximately 800 days.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

While rechargeable batteries can be used, performance and lifespan may vary compared to alkaline batteries. Ensure they are C LR14 type and fully charged.

What is the color temperature of the light?

The light color temperature is 5000 K, which is considered a cool white light, providing good visibility.

Can the motion sensor be turned off?

The product description does not specify an option to disable the motion sensor. It is designed to operate automatically when motion is detected.

What is the maximum distance the motion sensor can detect?

The infrared motion detector has a detection range of up to 10 meters.

Can I adjust how long the light stays on?

Yes, the duty cycle is adjustable up to 30 seconds, allowing you to control the duration the light remains illuminated after activation.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when motion is detected.

Check if batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Ensure the duty cycle is not set to its minimum. Verify the motion sensor is clean and unobstructed.

Light stays on continuously.

The motion sensor may be obstructed or malfunctioning. Check for any objects continuously triggering the sensor. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Short detection range or sensitivity.

Ensure the motion sensor lens is clean. Check that the sensor is not aimed directly at heat sources or moving objects (like tree branches) that could cause false triggers or interference. Battery level might be low.

Light flickers or is dim.

This usually indicates low battery power. Replace all batteries with new ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment and insert 3x C LR14 alkaline batteries, observing correct polarity.
  2. Mounting: Choose a suitable location. Use the included mounting hardware to attach the floodlight securely to a wall or other stable surface. Ensure the motion sensor has a clear view of the detection area.
  3. Adjustments: Position the lamp head by tilting and swiveling it to direct light. Set the desired duty cycle (duration of light) using the adjustment dial, typically up to 30 seconds.

Compatibility:

  • Power Source: Requires 3x C LR14 (1.5V) alkaline batteries (included).
  • Mounting Surfaces: Compatible with standard wall materials (wood, brick, etc.) using appropriate fixings.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the light output diminishes or the motion sensor becomes less responsive. Use fresh, high-quality C LR14 batteries.
