Excellent video! I have 2 of these lights that were just installed by contractors. And for some reason they wired the red wire in with the black wire. The lights are not connected to each other they are on separate switches. Also, Neither of them actually work properly. So tomorrow after watching your video, I'm going to fix it myself. Thank you!

Jeff, I have 2 garage lamps (that I'm replacing) that run off a single switch inside the house. Does that mean I should have a "red to red" wire connection inside each outside wiring box where the lamps will be placed? Also, it looks like your lamp has controls on the bottom than can turned OFF by any burglar approaching your door. That doesn't make sense.
@JeffLepard4 жыл бұрын
Yes that's correct it should be wired up that way. Yes there are controls at the bottom for time delay for how long the light stays on. Test Mode mode as well. I might be changing that light soon with something else.

+Heather Bryant Have you tried disconnecting the power from the light either by switch or the breaker? Also, check if there are switches that were changed on the light itself. If none of that works then it could be a defect in the motion sensor.

@Jandcee5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jeff! Got mine installed but have a question - the main light switch needs to be 'on' at all times for this to work - I've installed mine at the back door of a detached garage so we also have two regular lights at the front of the garage that are now all the time as well. Is there an easy fix for this?
@JeffLepard5 жыл бұрын
I know a few people that have had the same issue. They ended up changing the other lights to newer LED lights with sensor / motion. They also have switches on them if you want the lights to remain on at all times. The only other things I can think of is to put a photo cell on those lights which means they will turn off in the daylight and turn on at night.

Mark Davis so the light switch will always be turned on and the settings will be on the actual light. I have mine set on 30 seconds. Try the test mode to make sure it turns on and off. If not it could be the light fixture itself the motion not working properly.

Yes keep the light switch on and setting on motion 1 minute or 5 or whatever. However, once this is done, turn the light switch off and on one more time to set it in motion sense mode. Then go check again

@JeffLepard5 жыл бұрын
Could be a few reasons. Is there any switches on the light like test mode, time on / time off. Is the light off of a switch? If not else is causing the light to not work with motion it could be the motion sensor on your light not working properly but that would be the last reason.
