Problem
Cause
Solution
Light does not switch
on when there is
movement in the
detection area.
1. no mains voltage
Check all connections, and Fuses/
switches
2. Bulb faulty or missing.
Check. Replace
3. Nearby lighting is too bright.
Redirect sensor or relocate the unit
4. controls set incorrectly
Readjust sensor angle or control knob
5. sensor positioned in wrong direction
Redirect sensor and/or adjust
Lamp switches on for no
apparent reason (false
trigger)
1. Heat from bulb(s) activating sensor.
Adjust lamp holders to allow a
Minimum gap of 40mm between G9
bulb and sensor head.
2. Heat sources such as air-con, Vents,
heater flues, barbecues, other outside
lighting, moving cars are activating
sensor.
Adjust direction of sensor head, Away
from these sources.
3. animals/birds e.g. possums or
domestic animals.
Redirecting sensor head may help.
4. Interference from on/off switching of
electric fans or lights on the same circuit
as your LED Spotlight. (This problem
does not always occur but a faulty
switch or noisy fluorescent light may
cause the LED lamp to switch on.)
Should the false triggering become
troublesome, consider:
a) Replacing a faulty switch. b) Replacing
noisy fluorescent, Tubes and/or starters.
c) Connecting the LED lamp to a
separate circuit (in most cases where
one or more of the above suggestions
have been carried out, false triggering
has been reduced.)
5. Reflection from swimming pool, or
reflective surface.
Redirect sensor.
Light remains on.
1.continuously false triggered
Redirecting sensor head may help
2. Time is set too long.
