This document describes the Blooma Kenora V30521 BX220IM/B3, a splash-proof outdoor luminaire with an integrated LED light source and a rechargeable Li-ion battery. It is designed for household use and includes features for motion sensing and adjustable illumination.

Function Description:

The Blooma Kenora is a combined LED luminaire and solar panel system, designed to provide outdoor lighting. The main luminaire unit houses the LED light source, a motion sensor, and controls for adjusting its operation. A separate solar panel is connected to the luminaire to charge its internal battery, making it an energy-efficient and self-sustaining lighting solution for outdoor spaces.

The device operates in an "Auto/Off" mode, allowing users to switch between automatic operation (likely motion-activated) and a complete off state. When in automatic mode, the luminaire's operation is governed by a motion sensor and a light sensor (LUX), which can be adjusted to suit specific environmental conditions and user preferences. A "TIME" setting allows for adjustment of how long the light stays on after motion is detected, with options such as 10 seconds and 4 minutes. The "SENS" (sensitivity) setting controls the detection range of the motion sensor, while the "LUX" setting determines the ambient light level at which the luminaire will activate.

The motion sensor has a detection range of up to 5 meters and a detection angle of 180 degrees, making it suitable for illuminating pathways, entrances, or other outdoor areas. The optimal installation height for the luminaire is approximately 2.5 meters.

A crucial aspect of its function is the initial charging of the battery. For optimal product operation, the internal Li-ion battery must be fully charged for a minimum of two days. This is achieved by turning the product off for the first two days, allowing the solar panel to effectively charge the battery without discharging it for illumination. The operating time of the luminaire is dependent on the charging performance during the day, which can be affected by environmental factors such as weather conditions and the installation location. A flashing light indicates a low battery, prompting the user to return to the charging procedure.

Important Technical Specifications:

Bulb Type: LED light source, replaceable only by a similarly qualified person.
Battery: 1 x 7.4 V 2 Ah Li-ion. This battery is not replaceable by the user.
Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: IP44 (Splash-proof). This rating is guaranteed when the product is properly installed and sealed.
Compliance: Complies with conformity requirements of applicable European Regulations or Directives, and UK Regulations.
Motion Sensor Range: Max. 5 meters.
Motion Sensor Angle: 180 degrees.
Optimal Installation Height: 2.5 meters.
Manufacturing Date Code: xxWyy (xx-year; yy-week of the year).

Usage Features:

Solar-Powered: Utilizes a separate solar panel to charge its internal battery, promoting energy efficiency and reducing reliance on grid power.
Motion-Activated Lighting: Equipped with a motion sensor to automatically turn on the light when movement is detected, enhancing security and convenience.
Adjustable Settings:
- TIME: Controls the duration the light stays on after motion detection (e.g., 10 seconds, 4 minutes).
- SENS (Sensitivity): Adjusts the detection range of the motion sensor.
- LUX (Light Level): Determines the ambient light threshold for activation, allowing the light to operate only when it's dark enough.
Easy Installation: Designed for secure fixing to a mounting surface using supplied screws and wall plugs, suitable for masonry. Users are advised to use appropriate fixings for other wall types.
Initial Battery Charging: Requires a minimum of two days of initial charging with the product turned off to ensure optimal battery performance.
Battery Status Indicator: A flashing light indicates a low battery, signaling the need for recharging.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: It is recommended to follow a regular schedule of care and maintenance to keep the surface condition well. This involves cleaning the luminaire and solar panel to ensure optimal performance.
Disconnection for Maintenance: Always disconnect the product from the mains (if applicable, though primarily solar-powered, this might refer to any potential auxiliary power or for safety during installation/adjustment) at least 10 minutes prior to any maintenance or adjustment, allowing it to cool down.
Battery Disposal: Batteries must be recycled or disposed of correctly at designated collection points.
Electrical Waste Disposal: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Users are encouraged to recycle where facilities exist and to check with local authorities or retailers for recycling advice.
Light Source Replacement: The LED light source is not user-replaceable and must only be replaced by a similarly qualified person.
Warranty: The product comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects for the LED component, valid for normal, non-professional household use. The warranty requires proof of purchase (till receipt or invoice) and covers breakdowns and malfunctions under conditions of intended use, proper installation, and maintenance as per the user manual. It does not cover defects from natural wear, weather damage, water quality issues, foreign bodies, lack of ventilation, improper use, negligence, accidents, or use of non-original parts.

This luminaire provides a practical and sustainable lighting solution for outdoor environments, combining ease of use with essential safety and maintenance guidelines.
