Why won't my on at dusk off at sunrise lamp shut off in the a.m. It's sunny out but they just don't turn off.

Question

The sensor is fairly new and it has been working fine for months.

Answer 1

Probably dust or something blocking the sensor.

Answer 2

there should be a k**b on the housing u can twist

Answer 3

There are only two possibilities here, either the sensor switch, nearly new or not, is fried, or the coils are no good for the fixture.    It's pretty simple, try a new sensor, if that doesn't cure the problem, replace the whole light.  There's no repair to them.

Answer 4

Turn it off for about 5 minutes and allow it to reset itself. When you turn it on again there should be about a minute delay and it will go on again for 5 minutes. Then it will shut off and be working the way it should once again. Sometimes Electrical storms will trigger it into the always on mode and you have to reset it.

Answer 5

There is something blocking the light from the photocell or the photocell is defective.
