2. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or Rechargeable (Ni-Cad,
NiMH, or Lithium) batteries.
3. When replacing Li-ion batteries, make sure all belong to the same brand
and model. Specifications: INR18650-2200mAH 3.7V, button top.
4. Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
5. Batteries should be recycled or disposed of as per local guidelines.
INSTALLATION - SENSOR LIGHT
Installation Advice:
Since motion detectors react to variations in temperature;
avoid the following situations:
• Do not aim motion detectors at objects
with highly-reflective surfaces, like
swimming pools, mirrors,etc.
• Do not install motion detectors near
heat sources such as heating outlets,
air conditioning systems, dryer vents,
lighting fixtures, etc.
• Do not aim the motion detector at
objects that move in the wind,
such as tree limbs or bushes,
large plants, etc.
Mounting Location
This light fitting is rated to IP44, this means that it is suitable in areas
that may receive light rainfall. Please ensure the desired location does
not exceed the rating.
Recommended installation height is 1.8 - 3.0m above ground.
Wall mount
Eave mount
Special Note: Care and consideration should be taken when the unit is
located close to property boundaries, to avoid unnecessary spill light
or glare to neighbours, and to avoid unwanted activation from passing
pedestrians or vehicles.
Note:
There are 3 options of battery usage.
i) 18650 Li-ion battery only
The product would work at its full brightness and on-time.
ii) Alkaline battery only
In the Alkaline battery working mode, no charging is required.
However, the light brightness is 50% lower than when using Li-ion battery
to conserve battery life.
iii) 18650 Li-ion battery and Alkaline battery
In this combination, the main power supply is from Li-ion battery
and the alkaline battery is for backup.
Pre-install
1. Gently pull the bottom tab (1) of the wall
mounting plate (C) away from the light
body (B). FIG. 1
2. Turn the function mode selector to "0".
Install rechargeable 18650 Li-ion batteries
(included). Optional: for back-up batteries,
install 4 x Alkaline "D" 1.5V batteries
(not included) into the battery compartment.
Make sure the polarity (+ & -) of the batteries
is correct as shown in the battery
compartment. FIG. 2

OPTION 1 - WALL MOUNT
1. Remove the two rubber gaskets, and ensure the mounting plate
is level & the UP arrow is correctly orientated, then mark hole locations.
2. If mounting to a wood surface, you can
install the mounting screws through the
mounting plate and into the wood.
You can also drill 2 pilot holes into the
wood with a 3mm drill bit and then install
the screws. Reinstall the 2 rubber gaskets
to keep the unit weatherproof. FIG. 3
If mounting to wall board or brick, drill 2 pilot holes with a 6mm drill bit.
Insert the wall plugs into the holes and attach the mounting plate to the
wall with the screws. Reinstall the 2 rubber gaskets to keep the unit
weatherproof. FIG. 3

4. Press the unit on the bottom to
the mounting plate. You should
hear a "Click" sound. This indicates
that the device is securely attached
to the mounting plate. FIG. 5
OPTION 2 - EAVE MOUNT
1. Place the mounting plate against the ceiling.
Mark the hole locations. Drill suitable holes
and insert the wall plugs. Fix the mounting
plate to the ceiling using the two mounting
screws with a very long Phillips-head
screwdriver. FIG. 3a
2. Attach the light fixture (B) to the
mounting plate (C). Support the
C
back-plate from behind with one hand
and push the light onto the back-plate
with the other hand. FIG. 4a
3. Press the unit on the bottom to the
mounting plate. You should hear a
"Click" sound. This indicates that the
device is securely attached to the
mounting plate. FIG. 5a
INSTALLATION - SOLAR PANEL
Installation Advice:
Since the solar panel reacts to sunlight, avoid the following situations:
• Do not install near large tree, under the roof, etc.,
FIG. 1
where the solar panel isn't fully in direct sunlight.
• Install the solar panel, so it is directly facing the sunlight.
B
Best practice is to aim panel at the sun at 10 am.
FIG. 2
Caution
Solar panel is unable to charge the rechargeable battery under temperature
0°C. This is the device's automatic protection circuitry.
If mounting to a wood surface, you can
install the mounting screws through the
mounting plate and into the wood.
You can also drill 2 pilot holes into the
wood with a 3mm drill bit and then install
the screws. FIG. 6
If mounting to wall board or brick, drill 2
pilot holes with a 6mm drill bit. Insert the
FIG. 3
wall plugs into the holes and attach the
mounting plate to the wall with the
screws. FIG. 6
INSTALLATION - SOLAR PANEL
Connecting Solar Panel to LED Lights to recharge
18650 Li-ion battery
Open the front cover of the rubber gasket (F).
Plug in the solar panel connector (G).
Connect the solar input jack to
LHT1184 to charge the Li-ion battery.

Solar charging time
The rechargeable batteries will need
3-7 days to get fully charged in direct
sunlight. For initial charging, user
should set to "0" first.
Weak battery power indicator
During the night when the sensor picks-up
motion, the red LED light will flash. This
FIG. 5
indicates that the battery power is weak and it is
time to replace alkaline batteries, or recharge
Li-ion batteries.
i) 18650 Li-ion battery only
Charge the Li-ion battery with solar panel.
Caution:
When replacing Li-ion batteries, do not mix old and new batteries.
Make sure battery type is INR18650-2200mAH 3.7V, button top.
ii) Alkaline battery only
FIG. 3a
Replace with new alkaline batteries.
Caution:
Do not mix old and new batteries. To avoid alkaline battery leakage,
replace batteries every 2 years.
B
iii) 18650 Li-ion battery and Alkaline battery
Li-ion battery is the main power supply and alkaline battery is the back-up
power supply. Recharge the Li-ion batteries, or replace alkaline batteries
FIG. 4a
when battery power is low.

OPERATION
The motion sensor light will take about 30~45 seconds to warm up.
The PIR sensor will enter into the standby mode when the warm up is
completed. The LED light will turn on when motion is detected at night.
The default factory setting is 0-10 lux, you can adjust the level by using
