Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
The lights stay on
continuously.
The lights flash on and off.
The lights flash once then
stay off in manual mode.
Light will not come on when
power is turned off.
Possible Cause
The motion sensor may be picking up a
heat source, such as an air vent, dryer
vent, or brightly painted, heat-reflective
surface.
The motion sensor is in manual mode.
The light fixture is wired through a
dimmer or timer.
The light fixture is on the same circuit
as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent
bulb.
Heat or light from the lamp heads may
be turning the motion sensor on and
off.
Heat is being reflected from other
objects and may be turning the motion
sensor on and off.
The motion sensor is in "TEST" mode
and warming up.
The motion sensor is detecting light from
the lamp heads.
The outside temperature is either too
hot or cold for the lithium battery to
operate safely.
The lithium battery charge is too low
(the red LED on the sensor continually
flashes).
The lithium battery is no longer able to
hold a charge.
Solution
Reposition the lamp heads to keep
the area below the motion sensor
relatively dark.

Decrease the "SENS" setting or
reposition the motion sensor.
Switch the motion sensor to
auto. See Using manual mode
on page 9.
Do not use a dimmer or timer to
control the light fixture. Replace
the dimmer or timer with a
standard on/off wall switch.
Install the light fixture on
a circuit without motors,
transformers, or fluorescent
bulbs.
Reposition the lamp heads
away from the motion sensor.
Decrease the "SENS" setting or
reposition the motion sensor.
While in "TEST" mode, the light
only stays on for 5 seconds. Set
the "ON-TIME" switch to 1, 5, or
20 minutes.
When the outside temperature
is in a safe range the lithium
battery will work correctly.
When the lithium battery has
been charged to a safe level,
the light will work correctly.
If the battery will not charge
after 7 days (with the light
switch in the ON position),
then replace the battery with a
Li-ion, 18650-2000mAh, 3.7V
7.4wh battery with the correct
connector.
