3.3 WIRING THE FLOODLIGHT
• Once the power cable has been fed through the cable gland (or sealing
grommet if using the knock-out at the rear of the connection box)
approximately 6mm of insulation should be stripped from each of the cores of
AC cable ready to attach it to the terminal block in the front of the light fi tting.
NOTE: The Hylite Mightylites MLF136 is a Class 1 fi tting and therefore needs
to be Earthed
IF CONNECTING TO A STANDARD POWER SUPPLY (NO SWITCHED
OVERRIDE)
• Connect the BROWN or RED (Live) wire to the terminal (marked “L”) holding
the single BROWN wire in the fl oodlight unit [Fig.13].
• Connect the BLUE or BLACK (Neutral) wire to the terminal (marked “N”)
holding the TWO BLUE wires in the fl oodlight unit.
• Connect the YELLOW/GREEN or bare (Earth) wire to the terminal (marked
“E”) holding the single YELLOW/GREEN wire in the fl oodlight unit [Fig. 13].
IF CONNECTING A SWITCHED OVERRIDE (optional)
• If using a switch override, the switched override wires should enter the
connection box via a second cable gland and circuits should operate as
shown in [Fig. 14]
• The override switch to the Mightylite should be wired as shown in [Fig.14].
• When wiring to the Mightylite, connect L1 Switch override BROWN or RED
(Live) wire to the terminal (marked “SL”) holding both the RED and BROWN
wires. (Note: If the wire to the Switch Live terminal is Blue then a Brown
sleeve should be slid over the wire to indicate it is Switch Live)
• Connect the Common (C) BROWN or RED (Live) wire to the terminal (marked
“L”) with the single BROWN wire only [Fig.15]
• After the connections have been secured, the fl oodlight front (Connection Box
front) should be fastened to the Connection Box using the 4 Connection Box
Screws provided [Fig.16]
• Once screws are secure, the screw covers (provided) should be fi tted [Fig.16]
• If the Mightylite has been attached to the wall via the Connection Box, then
it can be adjusted by simply holding the box fi rmly whilst moving the head of
the fl oodlight to the required position.
• If the Mightylite has been attached via the U bracket then it can be adjusted
by simply loosening the 2 Securing Knobs which connect the light to the U
bracket, setting the required position of the light, and tightening the knobs.

4. OPERATING THE MIGHTYLITE
The controls on the back of the Mightylite [Fig.22] can be used to control the ambient light level at
which the light operates (control marked “F”); the time the light operates for after activation by the
PIR (control marked “T”); and the range or sensitivity of the PIR (control marked “R”).
For DAYTIME testing:
• Turn the Time control (length of time light switches on ) marked “T” [Fig. 23] to
minimum
and the
ambient light level control marked “F” to position “5” (
maximum
).
• Turn on the power to the fl oodlight.
• The fl oodlight will turn on for approx. 5 seconds before switching OFF.
For NIGHTTIME testing:
• Turn the Time control) to
minimum
and the ambient light level control marked “F” to position “1”
(
minimum
).
• Turn on the power to the fl oodlight.
• The fl oodlight will turn on for approx. 5 seconds before switching OFF.
• Check the operation of the sensor and the fi eld of view by walking in front of the fl oodlight
so that the light comes on.
• Once the light comes on, move to a new position and stand still until the light goes out (approx
5 sec), move again until the light comes on.
• Repeat and adjust the angle of the sensor head until the optimum fi eld of view is achieved
• Finally, turn the TIME, LUX and RANGE (to alter detection range of PIR) controls to the desired
positions for AUTO operation.
The TIME control “T” [Fig.23] should be turned up if the lights are required to switch on for longer.
• Time is adjustable between approximately 15 seconds to 5 minutes
• If a moving heat source is detected, the sensor is triggered, switching on the light and beginning
timing out according to the pre-set TIME period. If triggered further, the light will stay on for the
pre-set time period from the last trigger.
• The ideal ON time for general domestic situations is usually 2-3 minutes.
The LUX setting “F” [Fig.24] adjusts how low the light level needs to go down to (level of darkness)
before the light operates
• The LUX control adjusts the light level at which the light and PIR operate. At level marked “1”
it operates at maximum darkness, at level marked “5” it operates in daylight.
The RANGE sensitivity of the PIR is affected by the range of detection and the amount of infra-red
radiation (heat) required to trigger the sensor
• The Range sensitivity adjustment “R” [Fig.25] can also be used to compensate for the changes in
outside air temperature in winter and summer
• To be effective but keep nuisance tripping to a minimum it is advised to turn the RANGE control
to the middle position where the ambient air temperature is between 15°–20°C.

3.4 WIRING SLAVE LIGHTS OFF THE MIGHTYLITE
The PIR on the MightyLite Floodlight can be used to activate additional PIR and non-PIR Mightylites that are wired into the same circuit.
When wiring, the Live for the slave units should simply be a connection from the Switched Live (marked “SL”) terminal on the main
Mightylite (with PIR) unit as shown in [Fig.13]. The Neutral for the “slave” unit should be a connection to the Neutral terminal (marked “N”)
on the main Mightylite (with PIR) unit. Other wiring options are shown in [Figs. 13 - 17].
NOTE: the Mightylite can only drive other Mightylite LED fl oodlights up to a maximum combined wattage of 80W i.e. the
Mightylite can drive 5 x 16W Mightylites, 3 x 28W Mightylite or any combination of the two, so long as the combined wattage of
slave lights does not exceed 80W.
Fig.9
3.2.2 OPTION 2: ATTACHING THE MIGHTYLITE VIA THE U BRACKET
• Attach the Mightylite to the U bracket using the two Securing Knobs provided,
[Fig.9]
• Position the unit against the mounting surface and mark the position for the U
bracket, ensuring the wires can easily reach the unit.
• Use the U bracket Fixing Holes [Fig.10] to mark the 4 drill holes required to
secure the U bracket to the wall (and mark the cable outlet location if required).
• Drill the wall and screw U bracket onto the wall using the screws and wall plugs
provided.
• Choose which of the 5 knock-outs (4 on the side of the box, one at the rear)
is going to be used for the cable to enter the connection box, ensuring wires
enter the box from the sides or underneath, not from the top. Once the knock-
out has been removed, fi t the cable gland to the connection box [Fig.11].
• 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. 11] to ensure the
wire(s) is secured in place and no water can get though into the connection
box.
• IMPORTANT – Ensure that the 4 screw covers are fi tted to to inside of the
connection box to prevent water entering the box through the connection box
screw holes [Fig.12].

Connecting a Mightylite Master unit (with PIR) and Mightylite
slave units (non- PIR) on the same circuit [Fig.13].
Note: When the PIR triggers all lights will illuminate.
Note: With the Switch Live connected, when one PIR triggers,
all lamps will illuminate.
Note: With the manual override switched off when the PIR
triggers all lights will illuminate, When the override is switched
on, all lights will illuminate continuously.
Note: Adding a remote indicator light or buzzer which will
activate when the PIR is triggered.
Connecting multiple Mightylite Master units (with PIR)
for more fl exible lighting solutions [Figs. 15, 16 & 17].
Note: With the Switch Live not connected, each PIR and lamp
triggers independently.
NB: The above option could prevent another fi tting in close
proximity from working due to the photocell picking up the light
from the illuminated unit and the photocell thinking this is daylight
and not operating. Successful operation will depend on the
installed spacing and aiming of each fl oodlight.
