Troubleshooting
□
Extremely hot or cold weather could affect the performance of the built-in sensor that detect body heat.
Certain winter clothing can shield a person’s body heat from the sensor during extremely cold weather.
During extremely hot weather, the sensor may not be able to distinguish the difference between normal
body temperature and the surrounding high temperature. The sensor will begin to work normally once
weather conditions return to normal.
Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Light does not come on
at night when Motion
detected.
1. No power is being delivered to
the fixture.
2. Another light source cause the
security light to think it is daylight.
3. Wiring inside electrical box is
loose.
1. Check that circuit breaker and/or wall
switch power is on.
2. Turn off surrounding lights and/or re-aim
the sensor head.
3. After turning power off to the fixture,
reconnect any loose wiring.
Security light comes on
during the day.
1. Dusk-to-Dawn sensor is a shaded
area and is fooled into thinking it is
nighttime.
2. Dusk-to-Dawn sensoris faulty.
1. Shine a flashlight onto the light sensor. If
the security light turns off then the fixture
is mounted in an area that does not allow
enough light to enter the sensor. Relocate
security light.
2. If under warranty, contact Customer
Service.
Security light cycles ON
and OFF continuously.
1. Dusk-to-Dawn sensor is sensing
reflected light from the security
light.
1. Change the position of the light head,
aim light away from the reflecting
surfaces.
2. Put a small piece of black electrical tape
over the Dusk-to-dawn sensor.
3. Relocate the security light to a different
location where it no longer causes
reflected light.
Security light comes on
for no apparent reason
at night.
1. Light is sensing motion in the
detection zone.
1. Make sure the sensor is not picking
up moving objects such as bushes, trees,
traffic, water, etc.
2. Test the motion sensor by covering
up the front curved lens with cardboard
to block the view. If the light turns off
then something in the detection zone
is triggering the sensor. Reposition the
motion sensor or change the sensitivity
(distance) of the sensor.
