There should be three adjustments on that light.
1. Amount of darkness to allow trigger
2. Amount of time it stays on
3. How sensitive the motion detector is.

If you would post the model number it would help

Light is blinking like a strobe light. How can I fix it? Thanks

That means one of your bulbs is inop. I saw this while I was looking for replacing one on a unit I have, when I saw your post. That is exactly what I have, and the bulb is on very tight. Not even sure if I can get a replacement till I get the bulb cover off.

I have a 180 degree Defiant Outdoor Motion Security Light. It was working fine for 2 weeks, but now it stays on all the time. I've tried toggling it to Test and then back to 1 Minute and no change.

I am having the same problem. The manual says to avoid plugging into the same circuit as motors & fluorescent lights. Mine is on the same circuit as a freezer. I'm going to try changing the AC outlet to see if that helps. Good luck!

My motion security light keeps blowing only the left side bulb.

I assume you mean that the light bulb is failing. This can be caused by a faulty connection at the base of the lamp which causes the bulb to heat at the connection point. Remove the bulb and (with power off!) examine and clean the bulb socket.
