Bought one of these from Wilkos yesterday. Idea was, fit it in my hall
light, and it will come on as it goes dark. Good for security and
convenience of the first person home.
I tried it out this morning, and it came on immediately, ven though
its pretty bright daylight, though admittedly it is overcast, I
wouldn't describe it as dark in any sense.
The location is basically next to the front door, which has masses of
glass in it.

Does this suggest that it is only going to turn off in reallt bright
sunshine? That is my "take" on the situation.
Can anyone who know, please advise?
Thanks.

To allow test and setting up during daylight, they often supply the units
with a black sticky label or similar over the light sensor. Once tested
and working you are supposed to remove this - Have you checked for this?

If they are too sensitive to light then they 'see' their own light and
switch off.
