I have an outside light on automatic. Supposed to be light sensing.
Everyone in The Villages has one.
My question is..
Why is my light the last to go off in the morning?

Probably because either the sensor is located somewhere so it gets hit
with less sunlight, the sensor is dirty, or the sensor actually
requires more light to activate it.

How hard (and expensive) to replace the sensor?
Probably dates to 1990.

That would be determined by whether the sensor is replaceable without
replacing the fixture, what kind of fixture it is, where it's located,
and who does the work. It could be anything from a $20 fixture that
you can reach with a stool and do yourself, to a light on top of a
pole that requires a bucket truck.

Thanks

Well sensor faces due west, but is easy to get at.

Unscrewed plastic outer nut. No visable way to replace sensor without
taking off whole the whole fixture so I think I will stop wondering:-))

Hi,
Tried to clean the sensor lens?
