CAUTION
• Connect fixture to a 120 volt, 60 Hz power source. Any other connection voids
the warranty.
• Fixture should be installed by persons with experience in household wiring or by a
qualified electrician. The electrical system, and the method of electrically connecting
the fixture to it, must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
building codes.
• Mount fixture to a grounded, recessed-mounted standard junction box marked for use
in wet locations.
• Suitable for wall mount or eave mount only. NOT suitable for ground mount installation.
• Do not allow sensor head to touch light housing – maintain at least
1 in. space between fixture and sensor.
• For proper operation and protection against damage, the motion sensor head
adjustment knobs must be facing the ground.
• Keep away from flammable objects. Do not position fixture within 2 in.
of any combustible materials.
• Always replace bulb with the same wattage or lower wattage
than marked. Installing a bulb of a higher wattage could create a
fire hazard. Use of a higher wattage bulb will void the warranty (maximum 150 watt
halogen bulb). To meet ENERGY STAR
®
requirements, maximum lamp wattage cannot
exceed 250 watts.
• MINIMUM 90°C SUPPLY CONDUCTORS.
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. Under Part 15 of the FCC Rules, any changes or modifications to
the motion detector described in this instruction sheet that are not expressly approved
by Eaton could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING: FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authorization to operate this equipment.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
ITEMS REQUIRED
(Purchase separately)
• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill with 3/16 in. drill bit (only needed if hole pattern
on coverplate does not match junction box)
• Outdoor weatherproof silicone caulking
• (2) 100 watt (MAX) PAR 38 floodlight bulbs
NOTE: For improved energy efficiency, lower wattage PAR
halogen flood bulbs may be used. Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
bulbs contain electronics which may interfere with the motion sensing function of your
fixture and are not recommended. To meet ENERGY STAR
®
requirements, maximum
lamp wattage cannot exceed 250 watts.
HOW IT WORKS
Your motion activated floodlight senses heat images from
objects such as people, large animals and automobile engines.
When motion is detected, the lights will automatically turn
on. Once motion has stopped, the lights will turn off after a
preselected time delay. Your motion activated floodlight may
also be used as a standard floodlight.

When using product, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• Heed all warnings, including below warnings AND those included on product.
• Save these instructions and warnings.
• For outdoor use only.
• cULus LISTED for wet location.
• Disassembly of your fixture will void the warranty.
• Your fixture is prewired and preassembled for easy installation.
• Read and follow these instructions.
• Risk of fire/electric shock. If not qualified, consult an electrician.
• To reduce the risk of a burn during relamping, disconnect power supply to the unit
before relamping.

      Monica WilliamsJul 27, 2025
      To activate Dusk-to-Dawn mode on your All-Pro Flood Light, ensure the surrounding light isn't too bright, as this can prevent activation. Try re-aiming the head or moving the unit away from the light. Also, make sure you turn the power OFF and ON twice within 3 seconds.

      Laurie FloydAug 1, 2025
      If your All-Pro Flood Light is staying on at night, first ensure that the sensor isn't detecting motion from things like trees or traffic; try repositioning the sensor. If there is no motion, try turning the light switch off for 40 seconds, then back on to reset the unit to “Auto” mode.

      If your All-Pro Flood Light isn't turning on with motion at night, start by checking the circuit breaker and ensuring the wall switch is on. Replace the bulb if it's faulty. Also, check the wiring and reconnect if necessary, after turning off the power. Finally, surrounding light may be interfering; try re-aiming the head or moving the unit.

    What to do if my All-Pro MS185 Flood Light turns on by itself?
    • H
      Henry ThomasAug 11, 2025
      If your All-Pro Flood Light comes on for no apparent reason at night, the sensor might be picking up motion from trees or traffic. Cover the sensor lens with cardboard to test if something in the detection zone is triggering it. If the light stays off, something in the area is the cause. Try repositioning the sensor.

    Why does my All-Pro Flood Light keep blinking?
    • T
      Thomas LewisAug 21, 2025
      If your All-Pro Flood Light blinks continuously on and off at night, the light from the lamp may be affecting the motion sensor. Try re-aiming the lamp and repositioning the motion sensor.
