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

I think you might be on to something with the "Current Draw" theory. I've got
several dusk/dawn/motion fixtures around the house and thought I'd save some
"long term" money by replacing the incandescent flood bulbs with LED flood
bulbs. Nope, bad idea... they don't turn off but go into a rapid flashing
(very irritating) mode. When motion is detected, they go on full, but then
when it times out, back to rapid flash. SO to throw more $$ away, I bought a
couple of new control heads that explicitly state on the box "Works with LED,
CFL, yada, yada..." Bad news, they do the same thing! I wonde if they test
this crap before they start selling it?
