Skobel Homes provides a step-by-step guide on how to test and program exterior flood lights. To avoid wastage of light, tilt the floodlights in the sky or surrounding property, cover the area with beams, and keep the floodlights high according to the use. Choose the best placement for optimal security and illumination. Floodlights are mounted to the soffit of the house and should be aware of the closest junction box/interior switch.
Choose the location: Move the LUX setting to day mode, set the time to the minimum setting, and switch the light switch on that controls the floodlights.
Choose the location: Gather necessary tools and materials, turn off the power, and prepare the hole and locate the junction box.
Set the PIR sensitivity to movement: Position the sensor on a ladder, ensuring it is at least 2 inches away from the light.
Return to the AUTO motion sensor mode by toggling the wall light switch OFF and ON again within 2 seconds.
In summary, installing flood lights is a manageable DIY task that enhances safety and security in your outdoor space. By following these steps, you can improve your home’s security and illuminate your outdoor space.

LMFAO. Bro U boys need 2 get off your asses and start this back up. One of the best ( How To or DIY ) articles I have ever seen. Looks like U stopped around 8 years ago. I’m assuming because your website wasn’t doing so great and you weren’t getting many subscribers or views. But that was 8 years ago and I don’t think these were that popular back then. Nowadays pretty much everybody’s either broke as shit or even if they’re not completely broke they’re scared to death of getting there. So they are pinching pennies anyways because things suck in general and everything so overpriced you have no choice but to try to save money when you can. So people are using articles like this quite often compared to 8 years ago. I know me perusal this article to figure out how to do the settings doesn’t say much for myself. Especially when I’m a carpenter myself. LMAO. For the life of me I couldn’t remember what did what and I also am getting old and I couldn’t really read what the damn thing said. So when I saw the picture of the same setup as the one I’m trying to set up I figured U would tell me what it said and give me a refresher course on how to set it up again. But I really think U would kill it right now. U could probably shorten it up a little bit and make a little tweaks here and there. Like U could probably drop the how to on a using a ladder and actually make that funny too. Just by saying if UR uncomfortable or don’t know how to use a ladder U should probably put that sumbitch back in the garage and call someone else to do this project because UR an idiot and idiots should never mess with electricity or ladders.
Question: I have the ETi 240 that, in the last couple of weeks, will not shut off at all (probably a power surge). No matter what I try, I cannot get the sensor to reset. It is wired into the light in the garage, so no separate switch, but even killing it at the breaker has not helped. Suggestions?? Thank you!
1:12 Idk i’d say they should get a on ladder to get use to it. Me personally never am comfortable on a huge ladder but i always have to get up there anyways, of course i built houses most of my youth. But i do got height issues, But its something you gotta kind of push to overcome. & i was in the army too & stood atop the tallest Repelling structure in the u.s. & one of the tallest in the world, Eagle Tower, But nope hieghts still bother the pss out of me for some reason. Most of the people i notice like myself tend to be over cautious on ladders making sure they are aligned right & all that more than someone who isn’t, at least from my experience thats the case, Its always the guy thats not afraid of heights that falls off the ladders, Mayhap because they are a little to comfortable using them that they don’t make sure everything is set right?
So I have a motion detector flood that came with the house. There’s no manual, and I can’t find the brand on the thing. Thanks to this article I was able to figure out how to make it work properly again. The trick was a feature I never knew: turning the switch off for 3-4 seconds changes the mode from motion detection to always on. I was pulling my hair out! Dude, you’re a little bit dorky, but I’m grateful for this article.
I know this is an older article but maybe someone can help. We just purchased the IP65 model and have been trying to disable the sensor light to have this light only act as a motion/security light. We have our dial turned to “off” but it doesn’t seem to want to shut off, it still goes to “dim” mode after the time period of the security light feature runs its course. Hoping someone can advise. Thanks
Do you always have to have the unit in test mode to reset? Or is it possible to have the unit set on 5 min for example then reset the unit at the switch and the unit will automatically work in the 5 min setting since that is what you have it set on. Or do you always have to start in test mode first then adjust your minutes.
We have 2 of these and have had them for about 6yrs now. They are beasts! Wicked bright, it has awesome motion sensing from far away and both left and right sides. The bulbs are still super bright. I am getting one more If they still sell them. To replace a crappy solar-powered one that we cringe at every night when it does not go on powered with the winter sun.
