Default LED bulbs won't turn off in outdoor light/motion sensor base.

You could also wire a second fixture to the same sensor, that would be
FOUR LED bulbs on one sensor. Maybe that would help????



It's all got to be in PAIRS.

Nonsense.
You can use 1 bulb 2 bulbs, or 12 bulbs, as long as you dont exceed the
amperage allowed by the sensor and/or the circuit.

The old Flood light bulbs were 100 or 150 watts. So it was not uncommon
to run 200 or 300 watts off a sensor. 12 LED bulbs would not likely
exceed 300W.

What's wrong with ONE little incandescent light wired to that sensor, as
well as the LEDs you want?


DO IT !!!
