Changed two security lights for a customer a few weeks ago, both
exactly like for like. Fairly remote rural location.

Sheerness?

There is remote rural & wilderness matey.

Not sure Sheerness actually has electricity yet, running water is a recent
inovation.

Few days ago they had a power 'cut'. Seems like the power went off
for a very short time, neighbours alarm went off briefly, video etc
needed re setting.

Security light on the front (500w) stayed on all the time, it had
switched to manual override. Light at the back (150w) stayed in
auto mode. Switching off & back on the front light put it back to auto
mode.

Both lights are the same make, same PIR, same controls, same
instructions. Can't work out why the 500w light threw a wobbly, but the
150w
didn't? Problem sorted, but I'd like to know.......

Different switch-on load affecting the poorly designed controller?

Both B&Q's finest so anything is possible. Whats that mean then?
