My motion outdoor light is not turning off. - OUTDOOR Home Security

Hi! If your Defiant Motion Outdoor Light flashed red and stopped working, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the power source: Ensure that the light is receiving power by verifying that the circuit breaker or fuse connected to the light is not tripped or blown. If it is, reset the breaker or replace the fuse and see if the light functions properly.
2. Inspect the bulb: The red flashing light could be an indication of a bulb issue. Remove the bulb from the fixture and inspect it for any signs of damage or a burned-out filament. Replace the bulb with a new one if necessary and see if that resolves the problem.
3. Check the motion sensor settings: Some motion lights have adjustable sensitivity settings. Make sure the sensitivity setting is properly adjusted to detect motion as desired. Consult the user manual or manufacturer's instructions for your specific model to learn how to adjust the motion sensor settings.
4. Reset the light: Sometimes, a simple reset can fix the issue. Turn off the power to the light at the circuit breaker or by disconnecting it from the power source. Leave it off for a few minutes, and then restore the power. This can help reset the light and clear any temporary malfunctions.
5. Verify the wiring: Inspect the wiring connections for any loose or damaged wires. Ensure that the wiring is properly connected and secure. If you find any issues, consult a qualified electrician to address the wiring problem.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a defect with the light itself. In that case, you may need to contact the manufacturer or return the light for repair or replacement, especially if it is still under warranty.

If your motion sensor light is not turning off or it stays on for long periods of time, it might need to be reset. Your outdoor sensor lights are not working or they seem less sensitive than the usual. Your motion sensor lights should work some of the time, not just on some occasions.

Please an you send a pick of the unit when it's open on the input so we can go trough without Manuel as it's just a lux adjust ment

First take a cord and hook it to the motion lite and make shure it works .Remember that it only will work at night or dark area and you have to have lights in the fixture to make the contact.and make shure the plug is not on a dimmer or the wires are flipped. WHT. To the common side and black to the darker side and it has to be grounded .exspeacily if it is a led fixture.

Yes. Must keep switch turned ON.
Outdoor lights will only come on when motion is detected, otherwise light bulb does not come on. So the indoor wall switch does not work as override since the motion sensor takes over as the sole switch.

Other solutions include adding separate motion sensor light nearby and keep porch light so you can turn on-off when desired.
Another option is to add photocell to outdoor light so it turns on automatically at dusk.
Another option is to use outdoor yard timer with dawn-dusk capability:

Another option is to replace indoor wall switch with with dawn-dusk timer, that can also be used as ordinary on-off switch so you can turn porch light on-off when desired. Timer such as Intermatic ST01C offers simple 2-wire connection.:

How long has this been going on? Has this light fixture been updated recently? Has the lite switch been changed that operates this fixture?

usually motion sensor led lamp is a little different from general led lamp. the work condition will shift from general lighting to motion sensor light. The reason why installed, but can not turn off, might you install in the wrong way. You can see the installation details Pir Sensor Led Tube 4ft

Sounds like the relay in motion sensor. Change the bulb. Rechargeable batteries are no good after 3-4 years also.
