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.
Thank you for mention it can’t be hardwired I was gonna buy and I couldn’t find it on the label or on the box. I think I would go to Prince auto and get the one for 10,000 Loomis and it’s a quality built better than this cheap one I’ve seen it at Costco too. It’s nothing great flimsy cover on it and everything, I kinda stepped away from it. I’m glad I did.
Great light when it is working properly. I have had this light for just under a year and I loved it. But in the past week it has started flickering for no apparent reason. As there doesn't seem to be a solution in the troubleshooting section of the manual I can only conclude that these things are not built to last . I will not purchase another one .

Just bought one at Costco. Put in the pantry behind a closed door. But with the door closed, the light will still turn on when tyou walk outside the door, 8 ft away. On minimal motion setting sensing!! Not good.
Hello Rehanmw, the motion sensor can be turned off by following the instructions on page 10 on the user manual. Additionally, the motion sensor is integrated inside the fixture behind the lens. The reason why the fixture is turning on, even when the door is closed, is the type of sensor being used inside fixture. Please contact our customer service team if you have any additional questions.

I installed in our bedroom walk-in closet. The closet is smaller and does not any lighting. Thought I would love the motion sensor function. However... The motion sensor is so powerful that it sensed motion through walls in the adjacent bathroom and when the closet doors were Closed. So, when sleeping, when the dogs walked by, they set the sensor and lights on. Very annoying even on the lowest setting of 6 feet. I’ve tried turning off the motion sensor and left it on manually (was how we wanted to use it) but it works. Let me say it was not as simple as turning off the sensor. The sensor still turned on no matter what I did. Finally got it to manual, but my wife accidentally pressed a wrong button activating the motion sensor and now I can’t for the life of me turn off the sensor and make it manual. The instructions in the manual are a pain
Similar issue here, it keeps turning on for no apparent reason. Mine is in the garage. Even if no one is near it, I can see that the light is turning on. Garage is a little drafty (maybe more then a little) and i have hung it from the chains, not sure if it sways and that causes it to activate. I turned all the time setting to Off and the Ambient Light to Off as well. Now it works Remote only.
Update: I’ve just realized the motion sensors are too powerful and can actually read motion through walls and closet doors. So, I’ve deactivated the motion sensors entirely. I hate that I have to physically touch the remote, but that’s all I can do for now.

Hello Jainandan, the clamps used for the fixture to installed to the ceiling are designed to securely hold the fixture in place. In order to remove the fixture, try using a long tool, such as a prybar, to get behind the fixture and pull it down. If you do not have a prybar, you can grab one end of the fixture and pull down to detach it from the clips. Its going to be a tight fit, so be careful if you are on a ladder. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have any additional questions. KODA
Hi James! Thank you for reaching out. The sensor may be detecting movement through walls and doors. We suggest to select a smaller motion detection range such as Very Near. If you want the motion sensor completely off: Switch Time Until Dim to OFF, then switch Time Until Off to OFF, and turn the Ambient Light Sensor to OFF and the distance to Very Near. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hello Swank Goddess, the majority of our LED Ceiling Lights are designed to hardwired directly to the junction box located in the ceiling. Based on how the fixtures are mounted, as well as electrical codes, offering a LED Ceiling Light with a code and plug would not be acceptable. If you are looking for general lighting, we do offer LED Shop Lights with a cord and plug, however they are not going to be aesthetically pleasing for being installed inside a living area. You may want to contact your leasing office and inquire if they would be able to install a fixture for you. KODA
Bought three at Costco. Very disappointed. The lights cannot be hard-wired or directly attached to the ceiling (without major customization). It was not made clear on the packaging that they could not be permanently installed or I would not have bought them. If you spread them out over your ceiling, you will have multiple exposed cords. The light cover is not removeable. I'm also not comfortable with the two flimsy spring clips that hold them to the ceiling. I am trying to figure out a way to prevent the lights from popping out of the clips and unto my cars over time due to the very flimsy construction. I also discovered as I was installing them that one fixture had a small blue colored swirl in the light cover. The electronic part of the light is great, the rest is of throw-away construction.

@@KodaBuilt No problem, just can't believe how thin/flimsy everything is and the non-removeable/replaceable diffuser over the LEDs. Plus they are not actually designed for permanent/hard-wired installation.
@@stevebritt They are lightweight construction, but I don't plan on hammering in nails with the lights. Once installed, why would they need to be any stouter than they are? The clips are going to hold these lights in just fine. Once snapped in, they aren't randomly falling down. I snapped a clip in with the light on my bench to see how well they clipped and had a hard time pulling the clip off. As long as they light up and last years as they should, I don't see that they need to be built like tanks. I also was caught off guard by the wiring. So I simply installed outlets at the end of the existing wiring and plugged them in.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 I think they will probably last years as well, but all my observations are nonetheless true. Old school shop lights basically lasted forever until you hit them with something to break them or wore out the ballast (which was replaceable). Relying on the tension of two small non-spring steel clips in very thin wall plastic is an extremely poor design. The only reason it works at all is because the assemblies are so light weight in design. Eventually, when attached to a hot ceiling with a straight pull from gravity acting on them 24/7 they will detach. I wired mine near the center of the length with a minimum of extra wire so when the clips or plastic inevitably fail, the fixture shouldn't drop more than 8". I would add, just in the last two weeks the motion sensing feature of one of my three lights has started to fail.
@@stevebritt That's disappointing to hear regarding the sensors. I've tried multiple configurations for sensors and lights. I had Commercial Electric LED lights and a Lutron occupancy sensor. The CE lights had one fail within a few weeks and CE refused to provide service because I installed them. As if this is brain surgery... The Lutron isn't ideal because it can't see important parts of the garage installed in a box on the wall. And it's a pain to reprogram. The Koda lights are a one button reprogram if I'm going to be in the garage for a while and I need them on. So far, the Koda lights are functioning exactly as I want. But durability is basically out the window for anything these days it seems, so I just have to cross my fingers and hope they last.
Hi Kevin, thank you for your inquiry. If the light switch (on/off) in the closet has a specific outlet then yes, you can plug in the shop light to that specific outlet controlled by the switch.

Hello Zafar Mahmood, we are sorry to hear about your experience using our product. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at (866)294-9244 to help troubleshoot your issue.
There is no wifi feature. The issue is Koda uses a microwave sensor to detect motion. It works in the same frequency range as 5GHz wifi. So if you have many of these say in a garage it will absolutely destroy your 5GHz WiFi around in every direction. The remote is IR based like your TV and is not the issue. Poor design using a microwave sensor for motion.
@@akaDeno Your router has a host of channels available for 5GHz transmission. Set the router to different channels and test. Typically, the channels lower in the bandwidth work perfectly. Start with channel 36. Most routers have an auto channel feature where the router detects connection quality with connected devices and will automatically switch to a channel with higher quality connection. My several years old Linksys router has no issues with several of these lights installed around my home.

Hello Chantel, You can use the Mounting Brackets to secure the fixture to the wall. We would recommend following the same instructions for the installing the fixture as a Flush Mount to the ceiling. If you have any additional questions, please contact our customer service team.
Sounds like you may have low voltage intrusion on your neutral wiring in your home. If you're using them at setting dimmer than full, dimmers sometimes pass that low voltage to the light and it will light up. I have the same issue in my kitchen where LED lights are sometimes dimly lit when the dimmer switch is fully off. Or, these seem to have an odd behavior that if you select the moonlight setting, they don't respond to the auto on auto off feature.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Thanks for the reply. One of these ended up burning out and I have replaced it. It was not the one that is dimly lit when off though.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 I did. I originally bought a 2 pack from Costco. My electrician friend hard-wired them (vs. plugging them in) so they always have power. So basically anytime you walk in the garage they turn on. The one had the very dim glow when off, the other stopped turning on after maybe 14 months or so. I bought a single replacement (Costco) and he rewired it the same way to replace the bad one. So... perhaps taking them apart and modifying them caused the issue? Hard for me to tell, but the friend who did it is an experienced electrician so I know it wasn't a hack job.
@@RideByNight I doubt hard wiring them caused any problems. Most common failure is going to be the LED driver circuit. If they spent $2 more on the components, it would probably last until the LEDs themselves burned out. No one has the foresight to build something that lasts, charge a bit more for it and become a household name anymore. Fast dollar is all they want.
Hi there! Please see our online instruction manual on page 5 for further instruction on the motion sensor. You will also find more information how to adjust detection range on page 7. cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/1534/8284/files/user-manual-koda-46-led-linkable-shop-light-with-motion-sensor-and-remote-lm030008.pdf?v=1608131916
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Exactly. Install and outlet in the ceiling and presto. Mine even seem to remember the settings (all sensors off) when they've been off for hours with the light switch and I turn them back on.
@@trumbley22 The microcontroller that controls the functions has non-volatile memory. Pretty standard these days. I had family that visited and they kept turning off the switch to the garage lights. All setting were retained. When I bought my house, all the garage lights and workshop lights were the old school fluorescent tube units. As the tubes burned out, I've just wired outlets into place and plugged these in. The utility room in the basement had one pathetic light socket. I replaced that with an outlet, linked 3 of these together and bam, I can see everything in there now. And having outlets everywhere has been handy on a number of occasions.
@@karnpatel600 , I don't know why @koda built hasn't replied but I had to finish my project so I opened up the brackets a little with my hands by bending the sheet metal and attached the bracket to the back of the light before attaching to the ceiling. I played around by opening and closing by small amounts until i found a satisfactory balance between holding force and confidence in ability to simply pull off amount of force before pulling off and confidence in ability to pull down if needed. Once attaching to ceiling I didn't test by pull it down. Not ideal solution but best I figured out. Please reply if you find a better solution! Disappointing that Koda didn't account for first mount removal in their documentation... Or here.
@@LOOregano thank you for sharing. I thought of doing it as well but I broke few clamps like them before because they are brittle, so I dropped that idea. What I did was to instead attach the bracket to V shape hooks they provide. Then there is another type of keychain hook. So V shape hook is then attached to that hook. I removed the chain as I don’t want it. Now key chain hook becomes like a you know how those keyhole type fasteners, where you can simply hang the photo frame. I screwed on wall then hang the light. It stays but slanted, but I guess I am fine with it, I can put foam maybe if I want it straight. But at least this gives me flexibility to just hang and remove.

Horrible lights. Bought them at Costco - the picture on the box is deceptive. Chains are much much shorter in the package than what is pictured. Same applies to interconnecting lights. There is no way they are going to look as nice as they are on that box. What the hell happened to Costco, for allowing such deceptive cheap marketing tactics sip into their offerings? More over, there is no way to deactivate the motion sensor. God forbid anything moves inside or outside the house, the lights turn on in the middle of the night. I see I am not the only person with this problem. I have a suspicion there is no way to fix the sensor issue. Koda doesn't give a solution, only tells you to contact their support. Never again anything from Koda; and a big dent in Costco's reputation for letting them into the Costco store.

How do I turn off the motion sensor, I don’t want to follow a link…
Will return to Costco on Saturday when I get a day off.
Very bright, great price but sensor problem is annoying
Hello Flo Ronto, to turn off the motion sensor all you have to do is turn off the Ambient Light Sensor. The instructions clearly state how to turn off the motion sensor on page 9. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. Thank you.
I want to flush mount on wall but looks like it will be harder to detach the light from brackets once mounted

So.. if you can control all the lights with one remote, does that mean I can affect my neighbours same shop lights and vice versa?
Probably not from your house, you gotta be close to the light for it to work
The remotes work via IR like your TV remote. So you should be fine unless you are in a townhouse and point the remote toward neighbors garage
No, it won't. I have 14 installed on my ceiling and it won't affect all at once.
Great product and priced right
Are there any apartment friendly ceiling lights with no hard wiring you’d recommend?
Hello Swank Goddess, the majority of our LED Ceiling Lights are designed to hardwired directly to the junction box located in the ceiling. Based on how the fixtures are mounted, as well as electrical codes, offering a LED Ceiling Light with a code and plug would not be acceptable. If you are looking for general lighting, we do offer LED Shop Lights with a cord and plug, however they are not going to be aesthetically pleasing for being installed inside a living area. You may want to contact your leasing office and inquire if they would be able to install a fixture for you. KODA
Bought three at Costco. Very disappointed. The lights cannot be hard-wired or directly attached to the ceiling (without major customization). It was not made clear on the packaging that they could not be permanently installed or I would not have bought them. If you spread them out over your ceiling, you will have multiple exposed cords. The light cover is not removeable. I'm also not comfortable with the two flimsy spring clips that hold them to the ceiling. I am trying to figure out a way to prevent the lights from popping out of the clips and unto my cars over time due to the very flimsy construction. I also discovered as I was installing them that one fixture had a small blue colored swirl in the light cover. The electronic part of the light is great, the rest is of throw-away construction.

@@KodaBuilt No problem, just can't believe how thin/flimsy everything is and the non-removeable/replaceable diffuser over the LEDs. Plus they are not actually designed for permanent/hard-wired installation.
@@stevebritt They are lightweight construction, but I don't plan on hammering in nails with the lights. Once installed, why would they need to be any stouter than they are?
The clips are going to hold these lights in just fine. Once snapped in, they aren't randomly falling down. I snapped a clip in with the light on my bench to see how well they clipped and had a hard time pulling the clip off.
As long as they light up and last years as they should, I don't see that they need to be built like tanks. I also was caught off guard by the wiring. So I simply installed outlets at the end of the existing wiring and plugged them in.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 I think they will probably last years as well, but all my observations are nonetheless true. Old school shop lights basically lasted forever until you hit them with something to break them or wore out the ballast (which was replaceable). Relying on the tension of two small non-spring steel clips in very thin wall plastic is an extremely poor design. The only reason it works at all is because the assemblies are so light weight in design. Eventually, when attached to a hot ceiling with a straight pull from gravity acting on them 24/7 they will detach. I wired mine near the center of the length with a minimum of extra wire so when the clips or plastic inevitably fail, the fixture shouldn't drop more than 8". I would add, just in the last two weeks the motion sensing feature of one of my three lights has started to fail.
@@stevebritt That's disappointing to hear regarding the sensors. I've tried multiple configurations for sensors and lights.
I had Commercial Electric LED lights and a Lutron occupancy sensor. The CE lights had one fail within a few weeks and CE refused to provide service because I installed them. As if this is brain surgery...
The Lutron isn't ideal because it can't see important parts of the garage installed in a box on the wall. And it's a pain to reprogram. The Koda lights are a one button reprogram if I'm going to be in the garage for a while and I need them on.
So far, the Koda lights are functioning exactly as I want. But durability is basically out the window for anything these days it seems, so I just have to cross my fingers and hope they last.
I have two of these lights in a large closet. While the remote is nice, we would prefer to simply place them on and on/off switch. Is this possible?
Hi Kevin, thank you for your inquiry. If the light switch (on/off) in the closet has a specific outlet then yes, you can plug in the shop light to that specific outlet controlled by the switch.
Why didn’t you guys have manufactured make cables white?
Hi there - thank you for reaching out with your inquiry.
We use black wires as white tends to turn yellow over time.
What do you do if your remote won't work? Fresh batteries installed.

Anyone know how to disable the motion sensor??
Hello Mike, the user manual, page 10, refers to disabling the Motion Sensor. Please feel free to contact our customer service if you have any additional questions. KODA
I have gone through the complete setup instructions for these several times attempting different setups and no mater what I do the motion sensor acts erratically. It will turn the light on one time then I have to redo the whole setup before it will work again. I was hoping these would work to give light in the garage when we pulled our cars in and out but the motion sensors don't seem to work for that application.

Hi there, thank you for your inquiry. Please go to our direct web page: kodabuilt.com/ to chat with an expert. We do have replacement remotes for this model and will send you one.
Light is good but it disable your home wifi for 5Ghz. Terrible thing of this light :(
Hello Zafar Mahmood, we are sorry to hear about your experience using our product. Please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department at (866)294-9244 to help troubleshoot your issue.
How long is the electrical cord that connects to the outlet? TY
Mine are 4 feet.
do you have to use the wifi feature
No. The light has a built in light sensor and It's controlled by the included remote control.
There is no wifi feature. The issue is Koda uses a microwave sensor to detect motion. It works in the same frequency range as 5GHz wifi. So if you have many of these say in a garage it will absolutely destroy your 5GHz WiFi around in every direction. The remote is IR based like your TV and is not the issue. Poor design using a microwave sensor for motion.
@@akaDeno Your router has a host of channels available for 5GHz transmission. Set the router to different channels and test. Typically, the channels lower in the bandwidth work perfectly. Start with channel 36.
Most routers have an auto channel feature where the router detects connection quality with connected devices and will automatically switch to a channel with higher quality connection.
My several years old Linksys router has no issues with several of these lights installed around my home.
Hello Mulers21, we do not currently have a Wi-Fi feature for the KODA fixture, however this is in the works and look for it in the near future. KODA
Remote does not work accurately. Needs lot of luck tp turn the light off!

Can this light install on the wall?
Hello Chantel, You can use the Mounting Brackets to secure the fixture to the wall. We would recommend following the same instructions for the installing the fixture as a Flush Mount to the ceiling. If you have any additional questions, please contact our customer service team.
What happens if you lose the remote? Is there manual on/off and brightness? Doesn't look like it.
Don't lose it. If you buy two, you then have an extra.
I bought 4, connected them together and they work all off one remote, there's no delay and works great. I still have 3 extra remotes now.
It turns on by itself without remote. if you unplug it and plug it back in the electric outlet.
@@futabaguy1 Mine don't. I switch them off with a light switch and they remember the previous settings if I leave them and come back.
@@trumbley22 I guess we have different settings???
I installed two of these lights. Work well, but when they are off, one of them is always dimly lit. Any ideas why?
Sounds like you may have low voltage intrusion on your neutral wiring in your home. If you're using them at setting dimmer than full, dimmers sometimes pass that low voltage to the light and it will light up.
I have the same issue in my kitchen where LED lights are sometimes dimly lit when the dimmer switch is fully off.
Or, these seem to have an odd behavior that if you select the moonlight setting, they don't respond to the auto on auto off feature.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Thanks for the reply. One of these ended up burning out and I have replaced it. It was not the one that is dimly lit when off though.
@@RideByNight Did you replace it with the same product?
I just installed these. I'll be very disappointed if it only lasts a year.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 I did. I originally bought a 2 pack from Costco. My electrician friend hard-wired them (vs. plugging them in) so they always have power. So basically anytime you walk in the garage they turn on. The one had the very dim glow when off, the other stopped turning on after maybe 14 months or so. I bought a single replacement (Costco) and he rewired it the same way to replace the bad one. So... perhaps taking them apart and modifying them caused the issue? Hard for me to tell, but the friend who did it is an experienced electrician so I know it wasn't a hack job.
@@RideByNight I doubt hard wiring them caused any problems. Most common failure is going to be the LED driver circuit. If they spent $2 more on the components, it would probably last until the LEDs themselves burned out.
No one has the foresight to build something that lasts, charge a bit more for it and become a household name anymore.
Fast dollar is all they want.
bad video didn't how to hook up the motion sensor
Hi there! Please see our online instruction manual on page 5 for further instruction on the motion sensor. You will also find more information how to adjust detection range on page 7.
cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/1534/8284/files/user-manual-koda-46-led-linkable-shop-light-with-motion-sensor-and-remote-lm030008.pdf?v=1608131916
How do I hook it up to work with a light switch?
That application gets a bit more complicated. We recommend contacting a certified electrician to help!
Wherever you're installing it, remove the current light and wire in an outlet. Then the switch controls the outlet.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Exactly. Install and outlet in the ceiling and presto. Mine even seem to remember the settings (all sensors off) when they've been off for hours with the light switch and I turn them back on.
@@trumbley22 The microcontroller that controls the functions has non-volatile memory. Pretty standard these days. I had family that visited and they kept turning off the switch to the garage lights. All setting were retained.
When I bought my house, all the garage lights and workshop lights were the old school fluorescent tube units. As the tubes burned out, I've just wired outlets into place and plugged these in.
The utility room in the basement had one pathetic light socket. I replaced that with an outlet, linked 3 of these together and bam, I can see everything in there now. And having outlets everywhere has been handy on a number of occasions.
I'D LIKE TO OBTAIN 2 IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE ????
You will get them in costco
There is a deal 10.00 off on 29.99
How do I remove the lights from the mounting brackets? I can’t take the lights down without feeling like I’m going to break them to save my life!
Pinch one side of the mounting bracket so that it bends back to loosen from the light. Remember, it's supposed to be a tight fit!
@@KodaBuilt How do you do that on a flush mount installation?
@@LOOregano same question I have.
@@karnpatel600 , I don't know why @koda built hasn't replied but I had to finish my project so I opened up the brackets a little with my hands by bending the sheet metal and attached the bracket to the back of the light before attaching to the ceiling. I played around by opening and closing by small amounts until i found a satisfactory balance between holding force and confidence in ability to simply pull off amount of force before pulling off and confidence in ability to pull down if needed. Once attaching to ceiling I didn't test by pull it down.
Not ideal solution but best I figured out. Please reply if you find a better solution!
Disappointing that Koda didn't account for first mount removal in their documentation... Or here.
@@LOOregano thank you for sharing. I thought of doing it as well but I broke few clamps like them before because they are brittle, so I dropped that idea.
What I did was to instead attach the bracket to V shape hooks they provide. Then there is another type of keychain hook. So V shape hook is then attached to that hook. I removed the chain as I don’t want it. Now key chain hook becomes like a you know how those keyhole type fasteners, where you can simply hang the photo frame. I screwed on wall then hang the light. It stays but slanted, but I guess I am fine with it, I can put foam maybe if I want it straight. But at least this gives me flexibility to just hang and remove.
Bought one, won't turn on

Horrible lights. Bought them at Costco - the picture on the box is deceptive. Chains are much much shorter in the package than what is pictured. Same applies to interconnecting lights. There is no way they are going to look as nice as they are on that box. What the hell happened to Costco, for allowing such deceptive cheap marketing tactics sip into their offerings? More over, there is no way to deactivate the motion sensor. God forbid anything moves inside or outside the house, the lights turn on in the middle of the night. I see I am not the only person with this problem. I have a suspicion there is no way to fix the sensor issue. Koda doesn't give a solution, only tells you to contact their support. Never again anything from Koda; and a big dent in Costco's reputation for letting them into the Costco store.
