FLOOD LAMPS (BULBS)
Your security floodlight uses two 150 watt (maximum) incandescent, quartz or halogen flood lamps. if you are replacing an old floodlight installation, save the flood lamps. If you are making a new installation, obtain two flood lamps from your local hardware store or home center.
ELECTRICAL POWER CIRCUIT AND WALL SWITCH INSTALLATION
If you are not replacing an existing floodlight (or another outdoor light at least 8 feet [2.4 meters] high), or if you do not have a wall switch and would like to operate the security floodlight manually (as well as automatically), have a person experienced and licensed in electrical wiring install a power circuit, an indoor wall switch and a round electrical junction box (on the outside of the house or building where the security floodlight will be mounted).

INSTALLATION OF SECURITY FLOODLIGHT
Follow these procedures to easily install your security floodlight. Four major steps of installation include: site selection, preparation of the security floodlight for installation, removing an old floodlight assembly (if there is one), and installation of the security floodlight.
Site Selection
Walk around your home or building and choose the best location for installing the security floodlight with regard to the following:
Consider replacing an existing floodlight with the security floodlight. Use the electrical wiring to the old floodlight for the security floodlight.
Also regard the following considerations:
The security floodlight operates on
Locate the security floodlight at least 8 feet (2.5 meters) above the ground.
The security floodlight sensor may not point toward a reflective surface such as a window, swimming pool or similar reflective surface.
Do not install the security floodlight above a heat pump, air conditioner, heater, electric light or similar device. These devices produce heat that may cause false triggering of the security floodlight.
The sensor is most sensitive to motion across the beam pattern and least sensitive to movement toward or away from the sensor. Therefore, you want to point the sensor so that the normal walking path is across the beam pattern.
Preparation of the Security Floodlight for Installation
Prepare the security floodlight for installation at your kitchen table or workbench as follows:
1.You will need a No. 1 or 2 Phillips head screwdriver, a 1/4 inch straight blade screwdriver and a pair of combination slip- joint or channel pliers.
You will also need a dry wooden ladder to reach the installation (a wet ladder or a metal ladder conducts electricity).
