On an outside security light and what does it stand for please? I’ve done a Web search, to no avail, and come up with some strange results.
About two years ago I bought a security light from Lydl or Adli, I’ve forgotten which one it’s that long ago. But it’s a good un with a low energy bulb and is unusually white and bright, considering. (Every bit as good as a conventional 150/300 Watt).
So I finally installed it about a month ago and yesterday my neighbour opposite came over to say could I drop it down a bit as it’s shining in his kitchen. No problem, he was very nice about it and just wanted to politely ask.
I’m not an inconsiderate person and on the night I put it up I did look from the bedroom and made sure the beam looks to stop just at the end of my garden.
I know it’s not actually shining directly into his kitchen as such but I also know how, even without it doing so, a strong point of light can still be intrusive. So I’m going to drop it a bit more and I’m considering some sort of canopy over the top to shade it in addition if that’s not enough.
Anyway, this is what’s prompted my question on the Lum control. The instructions have gone AWOL. The three variable controls are the usual stuff I think: sensitivity, time/duration, (both obvious), but I’m at a loss with the Lum. It has a symbol adjacent which looks like a moon? Short for Lumen?
