TROUBLESHOOTING  

                

Extreme hot or cold weather could affect the performance of the built-in sensors that detect body heat.  Certain winter clothing can 

shield a person’s body heat from the sensor during extreme cold weather. During extreme hot weather, the sensor may not be able to 

distinguish the difference between normal body temperatures and the surrounding high temperatures. The sensor will begin working 

normally once weather conditions return to normal.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Light does not come on 
at night when motion is 
detected.

1. No power is being delivered to the fixture.
2. Another light source is causing the security 

light to think it is daylight.

3. Wiring inside electrical box came 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 ay 

loose wiring.

Security light comes on 
during the day.

1. Dusk-too-Dawn sensor is a shaded area and 

is fooled into thinking it is nighttime.

2. Dusk-to-Dawn sensor is 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: 

This fixture uses LEDs (light emitting diodes) to provide light. LEDs do not burn out like traditional light bulbs and will 

last for 30 years or more (based on 3 hours of usage per day).

Periodically clean the fixture and diffuser using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. When cleaning the fixture, make sure the 

power is turned off. Do not spray cleaner directly onto any part of the 

fixture or LEDs.
