What does IP44 and IK08 rating mean?

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when motion is detected.

Check if the bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Ensure the power supply is on. Verify that the PIR sensor is clean and unobstructed. Adjust the sensitivity and time settings on the sensor if applicable. Ensure the manual override is not engaged in a 'light off' state.

Light stays on continuously.

Check if the manual override function has been activated. If so, disengage it. Ensure the time duration setting is not set to its maximum prolonged state. If the issue persists, there may be a fault with the sensor or timer mechanism.

Light turns on/off erratically.

Ensure the PIR sensor is not aimed at sources of rapid temperature change (e.g., vents, moving foliage) which can cause false triggers. Adjust the sensor's range and angle. Check for any reflective surfaces that might be causing false detection.

Fitting shows signs of water ingress.

Ensure the fitting is securely mounted and all seals are intact. Check the IP44 rating compliance. If water is present, immediately switch off power, remove the bulb, and allow to dry completely before re-testing. Inspect for any damage to the housing or seals.
