Davidson provides the following three steps to help you get the best from your Rgb Floodlight, ensuring it provides safe, beneficial and inexpensive outdoor lighting:
1) Keep it down: Minimise blinding glare and avoid wasted light shining into the sky or neighbouring property by tilting the floodlight down as far as possible. Only the area to be lit should be covered by the beam. Site the floodlight as high as is practical, as this enables less tilt and provides safer, more even lighting that cannot be tampered with by intruders. This can save money too by letting you use a lower wattage bulb.
2) Keep it controlled: Motion sensors are very useful, as are passive infra-red (PIR) sensors that are connected to your floodlight, which can also help trigger the light only when it's needed, thereby reducing running costs and aiding in security. You can prevent your PIR “crying wolf” by positioning it away from heat sources and areas used by straying pets – these can trigger the light accidentally creating an annoyance and costing you money.
3) Keep it off when not needed: Most sensors can be adjusted to keep the light on for two to five minutes once triggered. Adjust your sensor to the shortest time that suits your needs. This will save you money, reduce potential glare problems for neighbours and pedestrians, and allow everyone to enjoy the night sky when the light is off.
