Has your motion sensor light stopped working, or is it stuck in the on or off position? A motion detector light is sensitive to power surges and blinks and sometimes will not work correctly following an electrical episode. While you may think the fixture is broken, many times, it just requires a reset.
Check out these troubleshooting tips:
1. Turn off the fixture's circuit breaker for at least 30 seconds.
2. If the fixture has a light switch, turn the switch on for 2 seconds, then off for 2 seconds, and then back on.
3. If the fixture has a light switch, quickly switch it on and off four or five times, or until the light stays on.
4. Once the light remains on, turn the switch off for five seconds, and then turn it back on.
5. If your device has the option to change its sensitivity level, try adjusting it to be less sensitive to motion. It needs to be sensitive enough to detect someone trespassing on your property.
6. Replace the light bulbs in the light fixture to ensure it isn’t a bad bulb issue.
You will know if your motion sensor light only needed a reset, new light bulbs, or if your best plan of action is to update your outdoor lighting.
