LED Porch Light

Instructions

These instructions are for the Déluce Lighting LED Porch Lights :

DLPLLED7BLK, DLPLP, DLPLS, 

DLPLLED7WH, DLPP, DLPS

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

• 

Installation should be carried out in accordance with the latest edition 

of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671) and taking into consideration the 

latest Building Regulations. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• 

Before commencing any installation or maintenance work, 

ensure electricity is switched off at the mains.

• 

Please take note of the maximum rated voltage for your Porch Light.

• 

Please take note of the IP (Ingress Protection) rating of your Porch Light 

when deciding location.

• 

Always allow sufficient slack in the supply cable in order to remove the 

Porch Light from its position for any future maintenance.

• 

Please take note of the nearest illuminated surface as shown on the label.

GENERAL INSTALLATION - SAFETY

•  

Please make sure you are safe when working at height.

• 

Employ the latest safety regulations and procedures to ensure the safe 

installation of this Porch Light.

• 

When positioning your Porch Light out of doors please take note 

that outdoor electrical installations should be installed by a qualified 

Electrician. Correct circuit protection for all exterior electrical services 

should include a residual current device (RCD), also known as an earth 

leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). This simple device ensures that the power 

is cut off immediately; it detects a leakage of current to earth, indicating 

an electrical fault which is potentially threatening to life. Observe these 

few simple rules and keep your outdoor electrical installation safe.

INTRODUCTION

This Porch Light incorporates either a Standard (no sensor), Dusk to Dawn 

photocell or PIR (Passive Infrared).

Dusk to Dawn Version 

The Dusk to Dawn photocell version turns on when it starts to go dark in the 

evening and switches off when it gets lighter in the morning. It will not detect 

movement but will continually illuminate pathways, steps, patios, porches etc., 

or wherever constant security illumination is required. The basic installation 

procedure is exactly the same for both the standard & Dusk to Dawn versions as 

the PIR version but the PIR has some sitting rules to be observed.

PIR Version

The PIR version continuously scans a pre-set operating zone or area and 

immediately switches the lamp on automatically when movement is detected, 

when no movement is detected the lamp switches off. If movement is constant 

within the range of the PIR the lamp will stay on. The PIR option makes it ideal 

for pathways, steps, patios, porches etc. where security or convenient lighting 

is required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

To achieve the best results from your Porch Light we suggest you take 

into account the following points before you fit the unit.

•  

Dot not fix to a surface where vibration is possible or may occur.

• 

Ideally the Porch Light should be mounted 1.8 to 2.5 metres (6 to 8 feet) 

above the area to be scanned (see Fig 1). 

•  

To avoid nuisance triggering of the PIR, the sensor should be directed 

away from heat sources, such as barbecues, air-conditioners, other 

outside lighting, moving cars and flue vents. Also keep away from strong 

electromagnetic disturbances.

• 

Do not aim the PIR towards reflective surfaces, such as, smooth white 

walls, swimming pools etc. The PIR sensor scanning specifications 

(approximately 12 metres at approximately 110° - Horizontal, see Fig 2) 

may vary slightly, depending on the mounting height and location. The 

detection rang of the unit may also alter with temperature changes. 

Before selecting a place to install your PIR Porch Light, you should note 

that movement across the scan area is more effective than movement 

directly towards or away from the PIR sensor (see Fig 3). If movement 

is made walking directly towards or away from the PIR sensor and not 

across, the PIR detection range will be substantially reduced (see Fig 4).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. 

Switch off the Mains supply at the main fuse/distribution box, ensuring 

there is no power to the Porch Light.

2. 

Refer to Figs 6, 7 and 8 for installation details.

3. 

Remove the Porch Light Diffuser/Cover by using a flat head screwdriver in 

the slots shown in Fig 6. Gently twist the screwdriver in all 4 slots in turn 

until the cover is completely released from the locking mechanism.

4. 

Unscrew the screw marked 

A

 (Fig 7) and remove the transparent plate 

(Fig 8) to uncover the terminal block and cable gasket.

5. 

Mark the mounting holes positions (x 2) onto the wall/surface. Drill and 

plug the wall at the marked positions. Screw the Porch Light body to the 

wall/surface with suitable mounting screws (supplied), making sure the 

cable is fed through the rubber cable gasket.

6. 

Then make the electrical connections to the terminal block as follows:

 

LIVE

 - (Red or Brown) to a terminal marked 

L

 

NEUTRAL

 - (Black or Blue) to a terminal marked 

N

7.   Ensure that there are no exposed conductors, loose or trapped cable 

strands.

8. 

Please note this Porch Light is not dimmable.

9. 

Re-fix the transparent plate by the screw marked 

A

 (Fig 7).

10.  Re-fit the Porch Light Diffuser/Cover by hand.

11.  After finishing the mounting, the PIR and Dusk to Dawn Sensors are fixed.

12.  Switch on the power supply for testing and adjustment.

 

Please Note: 

This Porch Light should be wired to its own light switch. Do 

not interconnect with other lights on the same switch.

UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROLS (PIR) 

(refer to Fig 5)

Adjusting the Duration Time:

 

The length of time the Porch Light remains on 

once activated can be adjusted from 5 Seconds to 5 Minutes. Rotating the TIME 

control from + to - will alter the duration time. 
Note: Once the light has been triggered by the PIR sensor any subsequent 

detection will start the time period again from the beginning
Adjusting the Lux Control Level:

 

The Lux control module has a built-in sensing 

device (photocell) that detects daylight and darkness. The      position denotes 

that the Porch Light can work during the day and at night the     position 

means it will only work at night. You can set to operate the unit at the desired 

level by adjusting the LUX control.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. 

Turn the LUX control to the daylight      position, turn the Porch Light 

on and wait half a minute for the control circuit to stabilize. At this 

stage ensure that the TIME control is set at the minimum duration 

time - position. The Porch Light will now switch on and remain on for 

approximately 30 seconds (within 60 seconds).

2. 

Direct the sensor toward the desired area to be scanned by adjusting the 

PIR sensor.

3. 

Have another person move across the center of the area to be scanned 

and slowly adjust the PIR sensor until the unit detects the presence of the 

of the moving person, causing the light to switch on (see Fig 3).

4. 

Adjust the time control to the required setting.

5. 

To set the LUX level at which the light will automatically switch ‘ON’ at 

night, please turn the LUX control from the daylight position to night. If 

the light is required to switch on earlier, e.g. Dusk, wait for the desired 

environmental light level, then slowly turn the LUX control towards the 

daylight position while someone walks across the center of the area to be 

detected. When the light switches on, release the LUX control. You may 

need to make further adjustments for your ideal light level setting.
