Installation

Before beginning the installation process, ensure you have gathered all necessary tools and materials, including a screwdriver, wire strippers, voltage tester, and electrical tape. The following steps outline the installation procedure:

Turn off power to the circuit. Locate the circuit breaker controlling the area where you will install the light and switch it to the OFF position. Confirm the power is off by using a voltage tester.
Choose a suitable location. The light should be positioned in an area with clear visibility of the desired space. Consider factors like obstructions, shadows, and potential areas of vulnerability.
Mount the light fixture. Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the light fixture to the desired location. Ensure the mounting bracket is level and the fixture is firmly secured.
Connect the wires. Carefully remove the wire nuts from the fixture, exposing the wires. Match the corresponding wires (black to black, white to white, and green to green) and twist them securely using the wire nuts. Ensure all connections are properly insulated with electrical tape.
Return power to the circuit. Carefully switch the circuit breaker back to the ON position. The light should now be powered up and ready for testing.

It is recommended to have the installation performed by a qualified electrician if you are not comfortable with electrical work.

Operation

The Defiant 180 Degree Outdoor Black Motion Sensing Security Light features a motion sensor that activates the light when movement is detected within its range. The sensor has a 180-degree detection area, covering a wide range of potential threats. Here is a breakdown of the light's operating features:

Motion Detection: The motion sensor detects movement within its field of view, triggering the light to turn on.
Time Delay: The light will stay activated for a pre-set duration, typically a few minutes, after the last movement has been detected. This allows sufficient illumination for security purposes.
Dusk-to-Dawn Operation: The light can be set to activate automatically at dusk and deactivate at dawn. This provides constant illumination during vulnerable hours.
Manual Override: The light can be manually turned on and off using a switch located on the fixture. This enables temporary illumination when needed.

The light's settings can be adjusted to meet your specific needs, such as the time delay, light intensity, and activation schedule. Refer to the included instructions for details on adjusting the settings.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues with the Defiant 180 Degree Outdoor Black Motion Sensing Security Light, the following troubleshooting steps may help resolve the problem:

Check power supply: Ensure the circuit breaker is turned on and there is power to the fixture. Use a voltage tester to confirm power is present.
Inspect wiring connections: Verify that all wire connections are securely connected and properly insulated. Loose or faulty connections can cause malfunctions.
Test motion sensor: Move within the detection range to ensure the motion sensor is working properly. If the light does not activate, the sensor may need to be adjusted or replaced.
Reset the light fixture: Disconnect the power supply to the fixture for a few minutes. Then, reconnect the power and test the light again.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified electrician for further assistance.

By following this manual and adhering to the provided instructions, you can effectively install, operate, and troubleshoot your Defiant 180 Degree Outdoor Black Motion Sensing Security Light. Remember to perform regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
