Installed light control and it comes on at dark but it cuts off and on. How can I make the light stay on?

I have had mine for over a year and they work fine. My sensors are aimed up towards the sky and the lights are below them, facing away from the sensor. Assuming you don't have a defective sensor, I'd try aiming the sensor up and away from the light. It sounds like too much light is being directed at the sensor, which is causing it to turn the light off. When the sensor kills power to the light, it becomes dark, so it turns the light back on. You then get the strobe light effect. So, aim the sensor away from the light.

Your sensor is pointed at something reflective. When the light comes on, the sensor is seeing that light and reading it as daytime. Your light will cut on and off all night. Please direct the sensor to an area that is not illuminated when the light comes on. That should solve your problem.

1. You may have a bad connection. Ohm your connections out if you can do that safely. 2.Check the mounting location. If the day/night switch is in a location where the light varies from traffic or waving tree branches allowing street light activation, this might cause the switch On/Off activation. 3. Get an Electrician to check the switch for proper operation. 4. If all else fails, return the switch for trade in or refund.

You must have a secondary light source which is causing it to cut off and on. To solve the problem, point it where there is no secondary light source.

Definitely reflections from the light when turned on is triggering the sensor to go off. Example, if the light is under the eves of the roof or under an over hanging, the light will reflect off of that and sense daylight and go off. Point the sensor away from reflective light/towards the sky and it will work. Thanks. Sonny.

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.

the sliding switch to turn the light on/off can be hard to see and operate but as previously answered should be under the disk, dead center. as I noted in my review, our light fell off the disk after a week or so.

If you set it correctly, when it gets dark it will come on dimly then go bright at the time you select then go dim again when you designate that too. Neat!!

Try putting in all new batteries. Normally, when the light starts to go on and off, it means the batteries need to be replaced. If new batteries do not stop the problem, the light is very likely to be defective.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

start by making sure the light is unplugged and has no power running to it. at the ends of the light you will see the end caps , simultaneously twist each end either clockwise or counter clockwise and the light will come loose where you shouldbe able to slide out. Hope this helps

With switch on quickly switch it off and then back on. The light should stay on.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

For some reason the connections shake loose in shipping inside the light. You could try making sure they're all connected properly. UNPLUG the light, remove the 4 screws and just wiggle all the connectors to make sure they're tight. Replace the cover and try it again. I did this on the 2nd one (same problem) and it fixed it! Good Luck!!!

The only way to override the automatic light-sensing "off" switch is to put tape over the sensor. It would stay on all the time then.

Press the tail switch slightly, until the light goes off, then release. The light should be in a different mode. Continue this action until light is in the desired mode. If you click the switch light will turn on and off in the same mode. I hope this helps.

You can't. That light is the indication that it is on. The best suggestion I've seen to help with this issue is to put tape and or paper over it so that it's not so bright. You COULD probably also paint it, it seems to be a closed system.

It's a bit late to answer this but I had that problem too. I plugged the wrong end of the strip into the wire that comes out of the control module. try unplugging the strip from the wire and plugging in the wire to the other end of the LED strip. fixed it for me.

Take the top off. On the bottom of the top tere is a little plastic strip that needs to pulled out. This makes the light work. I don't think the instructions really tell you that. The lights are off during the day and as soon as it starts getting dark...they will work. If I can be of any further assistance let me know. Gook Luck. CA

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...
