Troubleshooting – LED Motion Security Lighting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The light stays on
continuously.
□ “DUALBRITE” feature is enabled (for
model with “DUALBRITE” feature).
□ Set “DUALBRITE" to off and use as mo-
tion-activated light only.
□ Power surge may have caused the
light to be activated in manual mode.
□ Reset the power to the light by turning the
power off at the wall switch or breaker for
3 seconds and turning the power on.
□ The wall switch may have been
accidentally turned off and on quickly
which activated manual mode.
□ Turn manual mode off by turning the
light off at wall switch for 3 seconds
and then back on. See “Using manual
mode” in the manual.
□ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□ Do not use a dimmer or timer to control
the light xture. Replace the dimmer or
timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
□ The motion sensor may be picking
up a heat source, such as an air
vent, dryer vent, or brightly painted,
heat-reective surface.
□ Decrease the “Sensitivity” setting or
reposition the motion sensor away from
the heat source.
□ Electronic interference on the same
circuit is overriding the sensor.
□ Install the light xture on a circuit without
motors, transformers, or uorescent bulbs
(ceiling fan, garage door opener, uores-
cent lighting, GFI outlets, etc).
The light comes
on for no apparent
reason.
□ The “Sensitivity” setting is set too
high.

The light xture will turn on after
sundown.
□ The light xture is operating normally.
□ The light xture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
□ Do not use a dimmer or timer to control
the light xture. Replace the dimmer or
timer with a standard on/off wall switch.
□ The outside temperature is much
warmer or cooler than a person’s body
heat (summer or winter).
□ Decrease the “Sensitivity” setting.
□ The motion sensor may be sensing
small animals or automobile trafc.
□ Decrease the “Sensitivity” setting or
reposition the motion sensor.
□ The motion sensor may be picking
up a heat source, such as an air
vent, dryer vent, or brightly painted,
heat-reective surface.
□ Decrease the “Sensitivity” setting or
reposition the motion sensor.
□ Electronic interference on the same
circuit is overriding the sensor.
□ Install the light xture on a circuit without
motors, transformers, or uorescent bulbs
