Security Porch Light Motion Sensor won't work (Solution)
I have this type of light and can't get it to work. It was working in Feb but stopped at some point durning the trip. I thought it was the bulb and that was replaced today and still not working. I didn't receive any instructions and found these
The blue light flashes but the light won't come on. I tried waiting the 15 seconds to go to normal function and still no joy. The first bulb did not look damaged but since I had the light apart I replaced it anyway.
Any suggestions as to where the malfunction is? Additional information, there is a light beneath the steps operating from the same switch and that is working.
To enter the motion detection mode, the light switch is turned on, then off, then on again within 15 seconds. This action tells the microprocessor to start working. If the light is turned off for more then 15 seconds, it reverts to the normal light function mode.
The Battery Monitor function features a blinking red LED light when battery voltage drops below a predetermined level and will turn off the unit if in the 'motion detection' mode. The battery monitor light blinks blue if the unit is in the motion detection mode, and the battery has an adequate charge.
