I set T mode/ med. for first two days, then I switched to 5 min.mode/ med. It works fine.

Sounds like you've made proper connections. Make sure you have 110 VAC, a good light bulb, some activity for the motion sensor and darkness. If all these items are present and your fixture still does not work, then your fixture must be defective. Good Luck.

I was sure it would work ...But there is always the possibility that I do not know-it-all.So, I plugged a table lamp with a compact fluorescent bulb into the SensorPlug.It came right on.I looked at e-mail for two minutes.Sure enough - it turned off.

I had the same problem. I re-checked the wiring to make sure I had it right. It was hooked up right and my problem was the sensor was to close to the light when it came on. I just pointed the sensor as far fom the light bulb as I could and haven't had a problem since.

Are you sure that you are replacing the broken sensor? I had to trial and error until I got the right one and the light reset.

Aim directly at the sensor & make sure the connections are fully plugged in. You could also contact customer service- Worst case scenario, return it & get another one.

I saw this hint in comments about another light. It fixed mine. Try tapping the body of the sensor with the power off.

After reading the six responses, all are correct. Cut power, drop light fixture away from mounting box (1 or 2 screws), unscrew sensor from face plate, cut three wires, install new sensor, wire nut the 3 wires back to original connected wires (mine were red, black, white) reattach sensor to face plate and face plate to mounting box. Done.

The light sensor has a cover to adjust how much light enters the sensor. You should be able to turn the cover to closed which should keep the light on all the time and then your power switch would turn it on and off.

Try the dusk to dawn sensor! Cover it with a piece of duct tape and see if the light stays on and does not strobe. The reason is there may be an ambient light source near or close by affecting the sensors ability to work properly. I had this problem when I hung icicle lights up for the kids.

My light sensor broke trying to install it. I noticed I can buy another sensor for $5 but can't say how they work. The sensor is very flimsy.

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

No. My lights all work. I think I would send it back and have A Amazon send you another.

Make sure that the area you place it is completely dark.. If there is any light around the sensor, it will not turn on.

The sensor should cause the light to go on at dark and off in the am. I can only guess that there is a problem with the sensor.
