Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the standard and PIR Evolec Nero lantern?
A: The standard model (P406LED) gives continuous light when switched on. The PIR model (P406LED/PIR) switches on automatically when it detects movement.
Q: How far does the Nero PIR sensor detect movement?
A: From 1 to 8m, across a 120° detection angle.
Q: How long does the PIR lantern stay on?
A: 90 seconds after movement is detected. The light control means it only starts below 30 lux and stops above 80 lux, so it does not come on in daylight.
Q: Is the Evolec Nero lantern suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. It is rated IP44, which protects against splashing water from any direction, and the polycarbonate is anti-UV treated.
Q: How bright is the Nero lantern and what colour is the light?
A: 400 lumens from 8W, at 3000K warm white.
Q: Do I need an electrician to fit an outdoor wall lantern?
A: Yes. It is a 240V mains fitting, so in Ireland it should be connected by a registered electrician.
