If slider is more towards the moon, the light will come on later in the evening when it is darker. If slider is more towards the sun, the light may come on during daylight. Please adjust this setting according to your needs;
- If you want to improve the detection sensitivity with the lights coming on more readily, adjust the sensor by directing it where you want to detect any movement.

This will improve sensitivity of detection, and the light will automatically come on when users are further away.
