Default Motion Sensor Light

I have two Regent Motion sensor lights outside. Last night the
electricity went out for about 3 seconds. Both lights came on and stayed
on all night. One of them went off when the sun came up. Then other one
is still on. Anyone know hoe to reset this light. It has a sensitivity
knob and a switch that says test, 4 min, 12 min on the back. I do not
have a switch for the lights they are wired direct. Any ideas?


I don't know about that Make but my older Zenith lights require you to
turn off the power to the fixture for ten seconds, then on again, to
reset the circuit. You'd probably have to turn off the breaker to do
that. The 4 and 12 minute switch indicates how long the light stays on
when motion-triggered after dark. Set the sensitivity for the distance
of the object (a person, not your dog) you want to sense. Lastly, the
fixture has to be physically aimed to eliminate false triggering.
