Default Outdoor photocell connected to outlets

I have an outdoor photocell that's hooked to 4 gfci outdoor outlets (makes
them work dusk to dawn) put Xmas lights up everything all good until while
sitting here tonight the llights went out about 30 seconds then came
back on.
They seem to do this every few hours. Outlets aren't tripping and breaker
doesn't trip .... any ideas?


Feedback from the lights reaching the photocell? Might be the lights
combined with a full moon are enough to take the photocell to the
threshold of thinking its getting light occasionally.
