How to set up Arlec Integrated Solar Flood light?

Adochka

Request help in setting up Arlec Floodlight LVS937BK . Is there a video specific to set this model Arlec Floodlight LVS937BK please? As I have poor eyesight a video would be more helpful than the manual. Arlec advise they don't have video set up

only manual

Special thanks in anticipation

Hello @Adochka

Thank you for sharing your question about the https://www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-7w-integrated-solar-powered-sensor-led-floodlight_p0604237 . The Arlec flood light is very versatile when it comes to installation. It's not overly complicated, but it does need a bit of forward planning when it comes to location and where you want the flood light to point to.

First is to consider location, where would you like the floodlight situated? Will it receive sunlight during the day? Are you anchoring to wood/brick/masonry/steel? You'll need to take this into consideration as each medium requires specific mounting screws and fixings.

Second is direction, the manual will tell you how wide the motion detection area will cover. An easier way to adjust this is to place the light with the sensor generally pointing towards the area you want the sensor to scan. When evening comes, you can stand outside the range of the sensor and slowly walk towards it until it detects your presence. You can then manually adjust the angle so that it covers the area where you want it to start detecting.

I have exactly the same type of flood light installed in my home. Please note that the light will stay on at 20% luminosity at night and will go on full brightness once it detects motion. The only time it will actually fully shut down is when the battery is lower than 30% capacity, so don't fret if it seems like its permanently on. I've had mine for more than two years now and works really well.

If you can show us a photo of where you'll be installing the light, we'll more than happy to offer suggestions on the best way to install the light.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
