Security Light Problem (Read 2014 times)

It seems to be on 24 hours. During the day it seems to be on full brightness, then as the light goes, the light becomes dimmer and dimmer. At night, it's still on, but just like a glow-worm. You may be able to see from the picture it's not tight! Ray

The blind is shading the light sensor. The blind is then swinging about to activate the movement sensor. Therefore the light is on all day and the inbuilt solar battery is discharged

If its set incorrectly, dirty or in shadow the sensor thinks its night time all the time. So the light comes on in the daytime.
