The Hylite Mightylite fl oodlight a low energy, high powered outdoor LED fl oodlight which is suitable for installation on solid
walls in a range of locations including entrances, gardens, staircases, garages and outdoor parking areas
The unit requires connection to a 230 AC 50Hz mains electricity supply.
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN, AND CHECKED TO ENSURE
IT IS SAFE BEFORE USING
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL AND OPERATE THIS LIGHT
The risk of electric shock should be minimized by the installation of appropriate safety devices including the
incorporation of an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) into the main distribution board.
DO NOT wire this fl oodlight directly into the lighting circuit. Use a switched fused spur. Cables should always be
protected against short circuit and overload by use of an RCD.
Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply to be used.
DO NOT install the light where it is likely to be knocked or hit, or in hot or humid conditions such as bathrooms, shower
rooms or saunas; or near an exhaust outlet e.g. boiler fl ue, dryer outlet.
DO NOT position the light near fl ammable or combustible materials (such as cloth or paper) or near fl ammable,
combustible or explosive liquids, solids, gases or equipment.
DO NOT look directly into the light or point it towards a person’s eyes. This light has a very intensive light output which, if
incorrectly used, could cause eye damage.
ALWAYS disconnect the mains power supply before installing, servicing or performing any maintenance.
ALWAYS maintain the light in good condition, with repairs only undertaken by a qualifi ed electrician.
ONLY carry out repairs using genuine parts. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

The PIR detector on the fl oodlight responds to changes in temperature as well as
movement, therefore please ensure that the following steps are taken in choosing
a location:
• Mount the fl oodlight onto solid brick or woodwork, 3 - 5m above the ground
[Fig. 2]
• Avoid positioning the light near heat sources such as hot ventilator ducts,
air conditioning units, street lighting or traffi c which may interfere with its
operation.
• Avoid pointing the light towards objects that may move in the wind, such as
trees or shrubs, or highly refl ective surfaces.
• When positioning the light, note that the PIR sensor is more sensitive to a heat
source moving across its coverage area and less sensitive to a heat source that
moves directly towards the PIR sensor [Fig.3].
3.1 CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Isolate the power supply before installation.
The Mightylite can be fi xed in position by EITHER:
Option 1: Attaching the connection box directly to a wall (or vertical surface) and
attaching the Mightylite to the connection box , or
Option 2: Attaching the U bracket to the mounting surface and attaching the
Mightylite to the U bracket.

The unit requires connection to a 230 AC 50Hz mains electricity supply.
It is recommended that the unit is connected to the domestic lighting circuit via a 5 amp
fused spur and using 2-core round fl exible cable of at least 1mm
2
gauge (waterproof
cable should be used for outdoor installations).
It is also advisable to install a single pole wall switch to allow easy control of the
fl oodlight (Fig. 1).
NOTE: The MightyLite has a switched override facility enabling it to be switched on
manually, via a second wall switch, without requiring PIR activation. See section
“Wiring the Floodlight” for wiring details.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Electric/hand-held drill
No.8 masonry drill bit
Electricians screwdriver
Large cross-head screwdriver
Small cross-head screwdriver
Wire cutters
THIS PRODUCT IS SUITABLE FOR WALL MOUNTING ONLY.

1.1 IMPORTANT OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Lights won’t come
on
• Power not on
• Wired incorrectly
• PIR not detecting movement
• Light conditions too bright
• Turn on indoor switch or check fuse
• Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram
• Adjust the angle and direction of the PIR. For best
results walk across the beam
• Wait until light conditions are darker (at dusk or
under 40 Lux) or turn the LUX control up.
Lights stay on
• TIME set too high
• Wired incorrectly
• Frequent changes in heat are being
detected
• Switched override ON
• Turn ‘Time’ knob towards ‘-’ end (15 secs to 5 min
adjustable)
• Check wiring is the same as wiring diagram.
• Check sensing area for possible heat sources
(e.g. air vents, moving vehicles, moving trees) and
re-position the sensor or alter the RANGE control
downwards
• Check status of switched override and change if required
Lights keep turning
on and off (cycling)
• Changes in heat are being detected
from a fi xed heat source.
• Changes in heat are being detected
from a moving object.
• Light and heat are being refl ected
back onto the sensor.
• Sudden temperature changes due to
storms or high winds
• Check the sensing area for air vents, light fi ttings or
fans and either re-position the sensor or adjust the aim
• Check the sensing area for moving vehicles, animals,
pedestrians, moving trees and alter the aim of the
sensor accordingly
• Alter aim of the sensor or paint the refl ecting surface
with a dull fi nish
• Turn sensor off until storm passes or install in a
sheltered location
Sensor operates
differently in hot and
cold conditions
• Temperature differences are
affecting the sensitivity of the sensor
• Turn the sensitivity (RANGE) control knob toward
the MAXIMUM end for summer (hot conditions) and
toward MINIMUM for winter (cold conditions). This
compensates for variations in temperature.
• Position the unit on the wall and mark the position for the connection box
(which can be positioned in either landscape or portrait planes [Fig. 4].
• Ensure the wires can easily enter the connection box through either one of the
knock-outs on the side of the connection box, or through the knock-out at the
rear of the box.
NOTE: It is recommended that the knock-outs on the sides of the
connection box are used in conjunction with the cable gland [Fig.5]
as using the knock-out at the rear of the connection box will reduce the
weatherproof rating.
• However, If feeding a wire(s) through the knock-out at the rear of the connection
box, this will need to be removed, the sealing grommet fi tted [Fig 6] and the
wire pushed through into the connection box BEFORE it is secured to the wall.
• If feeding a wire(s) through the side knock-outs, it is easiest to fi t the cable
gland to the connection box [Fig.5]BEFORE securing it to the wall, and wires
should enter the connection box from the sides or underneath, not from the top.
• Use the connection box Fixing Holes [Fig.7] to mark the 4 drill holes required to
secure the box to the wall (and mark the cable outlet location if required). Drill
the wall and screw the connection box onto the wall using the screws and wall
plugs provided.
• When the Connection Box has been screwed onto the wall, covers (provided)
should be fi tted over the screws to prevent water entering the Connection Box
through the screw holes.
• Once the wire(s) has been fed through the Sealing Gland, the nut on the gland
should be gently tightened up against the gland body [Fig. 8] to ensure the
wire(s) is secured in place and no water can get though into the connection box.
