Product Information

Full details

This motion-activated wall light is designed for coastal properties and bathrooms, offering a durable, rust-resistant solution for outdoor and humid indoor lighting. Its key benefit is its marine-grade stainless steel construction, ensuring longevity in harsh environments. A caveat is its lack of a manual override function for the motion sensor. Key features include PIR motion detection, adjustable timer, weather-proofing, and compatibility with LED bulbs.

FAQs

What type of bulbs does this light use?

This light requires 2 x 35W Max GU10 Halogen bulbs. It is also compatible with LED bulbs, but ensure they are within the wattage limit and physically fit within the fitting. Always check bulb length against product dimensions.

Can this light be used indoors?

Yes, it is suitable for indoor use in bathrooms (specifically zones 2 & 3), conservatories, and other areas where its design and features are beneficial.

How do I adjust the motion sensor settings?

Adjustment dials for the timer and lux level are typically located on the unit, often under a protective cover or accessible from the side. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your product for precise location and adjustment.

What is the warranty period for this light?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer. Please check the product packaging or contact First Choice Lighting customer support for details.

Can I turn the motion sensor off and use it as a regular light?

No, this model does not feature a manual override function. The light operates automatically based on motion detection and the set timer.

What does IP44 rated mean?

IP44 rating means the light is protected against solid objects over 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use and specific bathroom zones.

How far can the motion sensor detect movement?

The detection range for the PIR sensor is up to 8 meters.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on with motion.

Check that the correct bulbs are installed and securely seated. Verify the lux setting is appropriate for the ambient light level. Ensure the timer is not set to its minimum duration. Confirm the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is on. Check for any obstructions on the PIR sensor.

Light stays on continuously.

The PIR sensor may be obstructed, or it might be detecting constant movement in its range. Check for reflective surfaces or heat sources that could be triggering the sensor. Adjust the timer setting to its minimum if it's consistently triggered.

Light turns on and off intermittently.

This could be due to inconsistent movement within the detection range or environmental factors like wind moving branches. Adjust the sensor's sensitivity or aim, or consider repositioning the light if possible. Ensure the timer is set appropriately.

Corrosion or rust appearing on the surface.

Although designed for coastal use, prolonged exposure to extremely harsh conditions might still affect the finish over time. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner. Regular cleaning can help prevent this.

Cons

  • Does not have a manual override function for the motion sensor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: The light is designed for wall mounting at approximately 1.8 meters high. Ensure the mounting surface is secure and suitable for outdoor/bathroom conditions.
  2. Wiring: This is a Class I, Earthed fitting, requiring connection to an earthed electrical supply. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended, especially for outdoor or bathroom installations.
  3. Bulb Installation: Unscrew the light cover. Insert 2 x 35W Max GU10 Halogen bulbs (not supplied) into the sockets. Ensure the bulb length does not exceed the internal dimensions of the fitting.
  4. Sensor Adjustment: Set the desired timer duration (5 seconds to 5 minutes) and lux level (10 to 200) using the adjustment dials, typically located under the light housing or behind a cover.

Compatibility:

  • Bulbs: Compatible with 2 x 35W Max GU10 Halogen bulbs. While LED bulbs can be used, ensure they are compatible with your domestic smart lighting system if applicable, and check bulb length against product dimensions.
  • Smart Home: Compatible with most domestic smart light bulbs, but always verify bulb dimensions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the stainless steel finish.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the sensor lens for any dirt or obstructions that might affect performance. Ensure all seals are intact to maintain weather resistance.
