My old motion controlled floodlights can't come on and STAY on. Is
there some way I can tweak the sensor to simply allow it to stay on all the
time until I shut it off myself?


I got one of them on my barn, so the light goes on when I walk toward
it. Otherwise I am always tripping on the dark stairway that goes to
the barn.

ANyhow, there are TWO switches on the wall for it also. One switch is
just to shut it off if I want to. (if I put the horses on that side
they activate the sensor on and off all night). The other switch
applies power to the fixture AFTER the sensor. Thus the light stays
on until I flip that switch off. (it just applies power from the
source directly to the light sockets). I have that one labelled AUTO
/ MANUAL.
Sensor lights are great until you want to do something outside and
they keep going on and off. That used to really get on my nerves, so I
added the extra switch to bypass the sensor. I just have to remember
to shut it back to auto mode when I am finished outside.
