SENSOR
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
●
Select locations away from heat sources, such as heating vents, air conditioners, and heated swimming pools.
●
When selecting a location, be aware that the motion sensor is more sensitive to movement across its coverage area
and less sensitive to movement toward or away from the motion sensor (Fig. 3).
●
Select locations away from nighttime light sources, such as street lamps or other light fixtures. They may shine light onto
the fixture’s photocell sensor (located at the bottom of the back plate, between the two switches). This light might cause
the circuit to “think” that it is daytime and not allow the fixture’s functions to operate.
●
Be aware that shade from a porch or an eave may not allow enough daylight to shine onto the photocell sensor and
may cause the circuit to “think” that it is nighttime, and subsequently cause the light to come on during the daytime.
●
Be aware that motorized equipment, such as power tools, on the same electrical circuit may cause oscillations on the
electrical line that might cause the fixture to malfunction.

ADDITIONAL NOTE:
●
This fixture uses one 100-watt max. medium-base bulb (not included).
●
Select a lamp with rated life of 3,000 hours or more.
●
Minimum starting temperature for lamp is -0.4°F.
Clean the glass and coated metal surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use any cleaners with chemicals,
solvents or harsh abrasives. The motion detecting lens is coated with a specially painted finish and requires special
care when cleaning. Use only a soft dry cloth to dust or wipe the lens area. Another area that will need special attention
is the photocell window. The photocell detects light through this small window. Keep this area clean to prevent dirt from
collecting.
Excessive accumulation of dirt or dust on the photocell window may cause the lantern to come on during the day. The
light fixture is designed to safely operate with a single 100-watt max. medium-base bulb (not included). Some models
require the removal of a cover to access the bulb. To remove the cover, remove the decorative nuts that secure the
cover in place. Replace the decorative nuts after installing the bulb.
