Product Information
Full details
The First Choice Lighting Set of 2 Gale is designed for those seeking durable, weather-resistant outdoor lighting, particularly in coastal or humid environments. Its key benefit is long-lasting performance due to its polypropylene construction, preventing rust and corrosion. A potential caveat is the need to purchase compatible bulbs separately and its lack of a smart bulb override function. This motion-activated PIR sensor lighting set is ideal for enhancing security and visibility on patios, porches, gardens, and bathrooms within specific zones.

FAQs
What type of bulbs does this light use?
This light requires 4 x 35W Max GU10 Halogen bulbs. It is also suitable for use with LED bulbs, but please check the bulb dimensions against the product's dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
Is this light suitable for very salty environments?
Yes, it is constructed from durable polypropylene specifically designed to withstand harsh, salty, and humid seaside environments, preventing rust and corrosion.
Can I use this light indoors?
Yes, it is suitable for indoor use in areas like bathrooms (recommended for zones 2 & 3), conservatories, and other humid areas. It is also designed for outdoor use on gardens, patios, and porches.
How do I adjust the motion sensor settings?
The sensor has an adjustable detection angle of 110 degrees and a range of 8 meters. You can also adjust the lux level (10-200) and the timer function (5 seconds to 5 minutes) to customize its operation.
Does this light have a manual override switch?
No, this product does not have an override function. The light operates solely based on the motion sensor and its programmed settings.
What is the IP rating of this light?
The light is IP44 rated, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and splashing water from any direction.
What are the dimensions of the light?
The dimensions are 21.2 cm in height, 7.1 cm in width, and 9.5 cm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when motion is detected.
Check that the main power is on. Ensure the lux setting is low enough for the current ambient light conditions. Verify the timer setting is not set to the minimum (5 seconds) and that motion is within the 8m detection range and 110-degree angle. Confirm bulbs are correctly installed and are not faulty.
Light stays on constantly.
The sensor may be detecting continuous movement or reflecting light sources. Adjust the sensor's position or sensitivity if possible. Check for obstructions causing false detections. Ensure the timer is set correctly and not stuck on a longer duration.
Light turns on and off intermittently.
This could be due to fluctuating light conditions or minor movements triggering the sensor repeatedly. Adjust the lux setting to better match ambient light. Ensure the timer is set to a sufficient duration so the light doesn't turn off too quickly.
Product shows signs of corrosion or degradation.
While constructed from durable polypropylene designed to resist corrosion, inspect for any damage. If installed in an extremely harsh environment, ensure all seals are intact. Contact customer support if significant degradation occurs beyond expected wear.
