Setting Day-to-Night Transition
Level
The Day to Night Transition level (D2N) is the
ambient brightness (in lux), at which the lantern’s
LEDs will turn on in the evening. A higher value for
the D2N Transition level causes the LEDs to turn on
earlier; a lower value causes it to turn on later.
Remember that the earlier the
lantern turns on, the more battery
power it consumes. Therefore,
higher D2N Transition Level settings
lower the Effective Intensity Limit and
Projected Autonomy slightly.
To set the D2N Transition Level (between 025 and
400L):
1. If you have not already done so,
establish a connection to the lantern.
2. The lantern LEDs will flash to confirm
the lantern is ready to receive
commands.
3. Navigate to the D2N menu
4. Unlock the existing setting
5. Use the number keys to enter a
value in lux. Once programmed, the
lantern LEDs will turn on when
ambient brightness decreases to this
lux value.
6. Lock the new setting
7. The lantern LEDs will flash to confirm
that the new setting has been locked.
Setting Night-to-Day Transition
Level
As the sun rises, the ambient light level goes up.
The night to day level (N2D) is the ambient light
level (in lux) at which the lantern’s LEDs turns off in
the morning. A lower N2D turns the LEDs off earlier
in the day.
The later the lantern turns off, the
more battery power it consumes.
Therefore, higher N2D Transition
Level settings lower the Effective
Intensity Limit and Projected
Autonomy slightly.
To set the N2D Transition Level (between 075 and
450L):
1. If you have not already done so,
establish a connection to the lantern.
2. The lantern LEDs will flash to
confirm the lantern is ready to
receive commands.
3. Navigate to the N2D menu
4. Unlock the existing setting
5. Use the number keys to enter a
value in lux. Once programmed, the
lantern LEDs will turn off when
ambient brightness increases to this
lux value.
6. Lock the new setting
7. The lantern LEDs will flash to
confirm that the new setting has
been locked.
The N2D Transition Level must be at
least 50L greater than the D2N
Transition Level. The D2N level will be
automatically adjusted if required.
