Use and Care Guide
The Motion Security Light includes a 2000mAh 3.7V rechargeable Lithium-Ion
battery. It is already installed in the unit, and may have a small charge for testing.
During the day, the battery is charged by solar energy; it take about 6 hours in clear,
direct sunlight for the battery to charge to full capacity.
In the evening, when the light switches over to motion-sensing, the battery discharges
whenever the light is triggered. It will discharge for a total of about 2 hours before
being depleted. Once the battery is depleted, the light will stop working until it is
charged again the next day.
The battery is exclusively for use in the Deant DFI-0452-WH, and replacement batteries
are available. Contact Home Depot Customer Service at 1-866-308-3976 for details.
Battery is installed,
and may have a starting charge.

Upon installation, the light should be allowed to charge for at least 6 hours in direct sunlight before rst use.
(Optional: leave the light OFF for at least 2 days, to charge without interruption, before turning ON for continuous operation.)

Questions and Answers

    Why will my Defiant DFI-0452-WH Flood Light not turn on?
    • M
      Manuel JordanAug 4, 2025
      The Defiant Flood Light might not turn on because other surrounding light sources are triggering the photocell. To fix this, adjust the LUX setting to compensate for other light sources such as street lamps and house lights. Alternatively, if the surrounding air temperature is greater than 122°F (50°C) or less than -4°F (-20°C), the light will operate normally once it's within the specified temperature range.

    What to do if Defiant DFI-0452-WH Flood Light appears to strobe or flash?
    • M
      Melvin LesterAug 9, 2025
      If your Defiant Flood Light appears to strobe or flash, it could be due to several reasons. First, the battery might be low; turn OFF the light and charge the battery by direct sunlight. Second, check if any surrounding light source illuminates or reflects ambient light towards the motion sensor; remove these sources or relocate the light. Finally, there might be a program error; in this case, turn OFF the light for 10 seconds and then turn it ON again.

    Why does my Defiant DFI-0452-WH turn on during the day?
    • R
      Richard RitterAug 16, 2025
      If your Defiant Flood Light turns ON during the day, it might be because the light is mounted in a dark location. Try adjusting the LUX dial towards "L". If it still malfunctions, relocate the light to a location away from shadows.

    Why is my Defiant DFI-0452-WH Flood Light dimmer than normal?
    • N
      Nicole TownsendAug 21, 2025
      If the Defiant Flood Light appears dimmer than normal, it could be because the rechargeable Lithium ion battery is low, causing the unit to switch to ECO mode automatically. When the battery is charged back to 3.7V, the light will quit ECO mode and return to normal brightness. Also, adjust the TIME dial to a smaller amount of time to help save battery.

    What to do if green indicator light continues to flash but Defiant DFI-0452-WH Flood Light does not turn ON?
    • R
      Ruth WilliamsAug 28, 2025
      If the green indicator light on your Defiant Flood Light continues to flash but the light does not turn ON, it indicates a program error. Disconnect the battery and reconnect it to perform a reset.
