Troubleshooting Guide
Light continuously
cycles ON and OFF
(strobe effect).
Light turns on
during daylight
hours.
1. Light sensor is triggered by reflected light
from the security light itself.
2. Heat is being reflected from other sources
and may be triggering sensor on and off.
1. Change the position of the light heads, aiming light away from
the reflecting surfaces.
2. Remove heat source from detection zone or move fixture to
new location.
1. Light may be installed in shadows/dark area.
1. Sensor may be triggered by a small
animal or passing car.
2. Hot air (dryer vent, car exhaust, etc.)
may be triggering the sensor.
1. Light is operating as it was designed.
1. Light is operating as it was designed.
2. Remove heat source from detection zone or move
fixture to new location.
Light comes on for
no apparent
reason.
1. Motion sensor may be picking up a
continuous flow of warm air from an air vent,
dryer vent, or heat reflecting off a surface.
1. Remove heat source from detection zone or move
fixture to new location.
Light stays on
continuously at
night.
Security light does
not come on.
1. Batteries are defective or depleted.
2 Batteries are installed wrong.
3. Battery compartment cover is loose.
4. It is daylight.
5. Movement is taking place outside of the
motion sensor detection area.
1. Replace the batteries.
2. Reinstall the batteries correctly.
3. Check battery compartment cover to ensure it is closed and
secured with the screw.
4. Light is operating as it was designed. Recheck at night or move
fixture to a darker area.
5. Move fixture within the desired detection area.

Motion Sensor
The light is activated when the motion sensor detects movement. The
sensor detects motion in a 130° coverage zone for up to 30 feet.
The sensor is most effective from side-to-side motion, rather
than motion coming straight at it (in-and-out). The “time on”
for the light is 20 seconds after each time motion is
detected during night hours.
Extreme hot or cold weather could affect the performance of the
built-in sensors which 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.
