1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, AND CHECKED TO ENSURE
IT IS SAFE BEFORE USING
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AND OPERATE THIS LIGHT
The risk of electric shock should be minimized by the installation of appropriate safety devices including the
incorporation of an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) into the main distribution board.
DO NOT wire this fl oodlight directly into the lighting circuit. Use a switched fused spur. Cables should always be
protected against short circuit and overload by use of an RCD.
Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used.
DO NOT install the light where it is likely to be knocked or hit, or in hot or humid conditions such as bathrooms, shower
rooms or saunas; or near an exhaust outlet e.g. boiler fl ue, dryer outlet.
1.1 IMPORTANT OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT position the light near fl ammable or combustible materials (such as cloth or paper) or near fl ammable,
combustible or explosive liquids, solids, gases or equipment.
DO NOT look directly into the light or point it towards a person's eyes. This light has a very intensive light output which, if
incorrectly used, could cause eye damage.
ALWAYS disconnect the mains power supply before installing, servicing or performing any maintenance.
ALWAYS maintain the light in good condition, with repairs only undertaken by a qualifi ed electrician.
ONLY carry out repairs using genuine parts. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

2. WIRING REQUIREMENTS

The unit requires connection to a 230 AC 50Hz mains electricity supply.

SL It is also advisable to install a single pole wall switch to allow easy control of the
fl oodlight (Fig. 1).

NOTE: The MightyLite has a switched override facility enabling it to be switched on
manually, via a second wall switch, without requiring PIR activation. See section
"Wiring the Floodlight" for wiring details.

movement, therefore please ensure that the following steps are taken in choosing
a location:
• Mount the fl oodlight onto solid brick or woodwork, 3 - 5m above the ground
[Fig. 2]

operation.
• Avoid pointing the light towards objects that may move in the wind, such as

• When positioning the light, note that the PIR sensor is more sensitive to a heat
source moving across its coverage area and less sensitive to a heat source that
moves directly towards the PIR sensor [Fig.3].

3.2 FIXING THE MIGHTYLITE

WARNING: Isolate the power supply before installation.
The Mightylite can be fi xed in position by EITHER:
Option 1: Attaching the connection box directly to a wall (or vertical surface) and
attaching the Mightylite to the connection box , or
Option 2: Attaching the U bracket to the mounting surface and attaching the
Mightylite to the U bracket.

3.2.1 OPTION 1: ATTACHING MIGHTYLIGHT VIA THE CONNECTION BOX

• Position the unit on the wall and mark the position for the connection box
Fig.1
(which can be positioned in either landscape or portrait planes [Fig. 4].
• Ensure the wires can easily enter the connection box through either one of the

knock-outs on the side of the connection box, or through the knock-out at the

rear of the box.

Earth
NOTE: It is recommended that the knock-outs on the sides of the
connection box are used in conjunction with the cable gland [Fig.5]
as using the knock-out at the rear of the connection box will reduce the
weatherproof rating.
• However, If feeding a wire(s) through the knock-out at the rear of the connection
box, this will need to be removed, the sealing grommet fi tted [Fig 6] and the
Fig.2 wire pushed through into the connection box BEFORE it is secured to the wall.
• If feeding a wire(s) through the side knock-outs, it is easiest to fi t the cable
gland to the connection box [Fig.5]BEFORE securing it to the wall, and wires
3-5m
should enter the connection box from the sides or underneath, not from the top.
• Use the connection box Fixing Holes [Fig.7] to mark the 4 drill holes required to
