Are those provided wire nuts and pre exposed cut wires the maximum length to be exposed? Also stranded wires of the light should they be pre twisted onto the solid wires from the junction box? Also should you keep twisting these wire nuts so that the 2 wires that still have the protected rubber coating start to twist together (preventing any loose connections within the wire nut)?

Useful tip: If you accidently turned ON motion detection and want it off completely, there's a combination of buttons to press to turn it off (doesn't say in the instruction book, I've learnt this from a comment somewhere and want to share it). You need to hold for 5 seconds the 4 top left buttons together while the lights are open, and it will disable the motion detection. The 4 buttons are ''Power'', ''Brightness - 10%'', ''Time until Dim - Off'' & ''Time until Off - Off''. If you press all 4 of those buttons on the top left of the remote at the same time for 5 seconds, when you turn off the lights again, they won't turn on when motion happens near the lamp. I've had to do this twice in the 2 years I've had the lamp, when I accidently click the button to turn motion detection on.

Hi there - Thank you for bringing this to our attention. These responses have helped us realize there is room for improvement with both the solar panel mount design, and our instructions. The most common way to mount the solar panel is to find your mounting location, use a pencil to mark the four mounting hole locations, remove the solar panel, use a power drill to bore pilot holes into the markings, place the solar panel back (through holes aligned to pilot holes), then use a hand screwdriver to drive the screws. (For non-wood surfaces like concrete, use plastic anchors) We're sorry this has inconvenienced you. You can return the units to Costco, or directly through us: kodabuilt.com/apps/returns - whichever is most convenient.

Hi there! It sounds like you might be looking for the Manual Override function. To do so you will need to follow these steps so you can manually switch the lights on/off. Although, the light will not stay on technically all night. It automatically reverts back to Auto Mode after 6 hours. To enable the manual override function, rotate the motion sensor so the controls face towards the ground. • When power is on, the PIR sensor enters a “warm-up” period for about 40 seconds, then automatically switches into AUTO MODE. • During AUTO MODE, by switching the main switch OFF for about 1 second then ON, the PIR sensor will automatically change into MANUAL MODE from AUTO MODE. In MANUAL MODE, the lights will remain ON, and will NOT be controlled by time duration or ambient light (LUX) levels. The MANUAL MODE will change to AUTO MODE in 6 hours automatically. T

If the light is not turning on at night, ensure the circuit is switched ON (if tied to a switch inside your house).
