Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check that the mains power is on and correctly connected. Verify the PIR sensor is not obstructed and has power. Ensure the unit is within its operational time settings.
PIR sensor is too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
Adjust the sensitivity dial on the PIR sensor. For increased sensitivity, turn clockwise; for decreased sensitivity, turn counter-clockwise. Ensure the sensor lens is clean.
Light stays on too long or turns off too quickly.
Adjust the 'time' setting on the PIR sensor. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the duration (up to 12 minutes) or counter-clockwise to decrease it (down to 10 seconds).
Light turns on unexpectedly.
Lower the PIR sensor's sensitivity setting. Ensure it is not being triggered by environmental factors like wind-blown debris, passing vehicles, or pets if placed too low. Check for extreme temperature fluctuations near the sensor.
Water ingress or corrosion.
Ensure the IP44 rating is maintained. Check that all seals are intact and the unit is securely mounted. If damage is visible, discontinue use and contact customer support.
