FAQs

Does this light come with a bulb?

No, the light requires an E27 ES LED bulb (15W max), which must be purchased separately.

Can I use a smart bulb with this fixture?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard domestic smart E27 light bulbs.

What does the IP44 rating mean?

IP44 indicates that the light is protected against solid objects over 1mm and is resistant to splashing water from all directions, making it safe for outdoor use.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the motion sensor?

You can adjust the timer (10s to 5m) and the lux threshold (0-20 lux), but the PIR detection angle is fixed at 90 degrees.

Is this fixture suitable for coastal areas?

While IP44 rated for rain, please ensure the fixture is installed in a sheltered location if living in a high-salt or extremely exposed coastal environment to preserve the silver finish.

Troubleshooting

The light stays on constantly

Adjust the lux dial to a lower setting or verify that the timer is not set to an unusually long duration.

The light fails to activate when motion is detected

Ensure the light bulb is properly seated and functional. Check that the sensor lens is clean and the lux setting is appropriate for the current ambient light levels.

Sensor triggers frequently for no reason

Check for moving objects within the 8-meter detection range, such as swaying tree branches or pets, and consider re-angling the sensor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • IP44 weather-proof rating ensures durability in rain
  • Adjustable timer and lux settings for customized operation
  • Compact, space-saving design suitable for various locations
  • Compatible with energy-efficient LED and smart E27 bulbs
  • Effective PIR sensor range of up to 8 meters

Cons

  • Light bulb not included in the package
  • Requires professional installation for Class I earthed wiring
  • Limited to 15W Max LED bulbs
  • 90-degree sensor angle may require strategic placement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a Class I earthed product, this fixture must be properly connected to your home's electrical earth. Ensure the power is completely isolated at the consumer unit before beginning installation. The unit is designed for standard E27 ES bulbs with a 15W maximum limit; avoid using incandescent bulbs that exceed this wattage to prevent overheating. For maintenance, periodically wipe the sensor lens with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or spiderwebs, as these can trigger false activation. The fixture is rated for use in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for most climates.
