FAQs
What type of bulb does this security light use?
This security light uses an E27 screw-in bulb. You can use bulbs up to 60W. Please note that the bulb is not included with the fitting.
Is the bulb included with the Bright Source Security Bulkhead?
No, the E27 bulb is not included. You will need to purchase a compatible E27 bulb separately.
How do I adjust the motion sensor settings?
The bulkhead features controls for adjusting the detection range and the duration the light stays on after motion is detected. Refer to the setup section for specific adjustment guidance.
What does IP44 and IK08 rating mean?
IP44 indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. IK08 signifies resistance to impact, suitable for moderate outdoor conditions.
Can I turn the light on manually without motion detection?
Yes, this model includes a manual override function that allows you to control the light directly, independent of the motion sensor.
What is the operating voltage for this light?
The Bright Source Security Bulkhead operates on a standard 220-240V AC power supply.
How long will the light stay on after detecting motion?
You can adjust the light duration from 5 seconds up to 5 minutes, allowing you to customize how long the light remains illuminated after motion is no longer detected.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on with motion detection
Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is on. Ensure an E27 bulb is correctly installed and not burned out. Verify the PIR sensor is set to 'AUTO' mode and the light duration is set above 0 seconds. Confirm the detection range is adequate for the area.
Light stays on continuously
Check if the manual override is engaged. If not, ensure the PIR sensor is not constantly detecting motion (e.g., due to heat sources or moving branches) and that the light duration is set appropriately.
PIR sensor is not sensitive enough
Adjust the detection range to its maximum setting. Ensure the PIR sensor lens is clean and free from obstruction. Check for environmental factors that might interfere with the sensor.
Light flickers intermittently
Ensure the E27 bulb is securely fitted. The bulb itself may be faulty or nearing the end of its lifespan; try replacing it. Check the mains power connection for stability.
