My wife and I bought our first home last summer & there is a motion light on the garage and back door. Recently, the garage motion light stays on permanently and the back door motion light will work occasionally but also stay on permanently at times.
At first I figured it may be weather related due to the cold, but it continues to be an issue. I also checked the settings which are correct on the light.
What do you think the likely cause is? Bad motion sensors? I’m assuming both fixtures need to be replaced.
Thanks in advance.
google for your brand. hope it helps.
it would drive me crazy when my kids would turn the light switch off and then turn it on. Off then on, one time, kept the light on continually - even in the daylight, you had to turn it on and off two times to get the motion sensor activated and then if I wasn't sure it was activated I had to go outside and move around near it and try and activate it, and then there was a dusk to dawn setting directly on the light which I had on which meant it wasn't going to come on during the daylight anyway, so I had to wait until dusk and test it and make sure I had the right switch position.
not saying that's definitely the case with your light, but worth checking before doing something else more costly or more work.

Thanks for all suggestions! I’ll look into these solar motion lights. Intriguing!
