FAQs

What type of bulb does this fitting use?

This fitting uses an E27 screw-in bulb, compatible with a maximum wattage of 60W. The bulb is not included.

Is this light suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the fitting is IP44 rated, meaning it is protected against water splashes and dust, making it suitable for most outdoor environments. It also has an IK08 rating for impact resistance.

How do I adjust the motion sensor's range?

The fitting typically has adjustable dials or settings for PIR sensor range and the duration the light stays on. Refer to the installation manual for specific adjustment methods, usually located near the sensor.

Can I use an LED bulb with this light?

Yes, you can use an LED bulb with an E27 base, up to 60W. LED bulbs are recommended for their energy efficiency and longer lifespan.

What is the maximum time the light can stay on after activation?

The light can be set to remain on for up to 5 minutes after activation.

Does the fitting come with a bulb?

No, the E27 bulb is not included with the fitting and must be purchased separately.

What is the IK08 rating?

The IK08 rating signifies that the fitting has a good level of resistance against impact, making it durable against vandalism or accidental damage.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on when motion is detected.

Check that the E27 bulb is correctly installed and functioning. Verify the mains power supply is connected and switched on. Ensure the PIR sensor is properly adjusted and not obstructed. Confirm the time delay is set to a sufficient duration.

Light stays on continuously.

The PIR sensor may be faulty or incorrectly set. Try readjusting the range and sensitivity. If the issue persists, consider replacing the sensor or the entire unit.

Light turns on and off erratically.

This could be due to environmental factors like strong winds causing branches to move, or passing vehicles if the range is set too wide. Adjust the PIR sensor's range and sensitivity to be more specific to the desired detection area.

Fitting appears damaged.

Inspect for any visible cracks or damage, especially to the lens or housing. Given the IK08 rating, significant damage may indicate a need for replacement to maintain weather resistance.
