Mike-

This thread has been continued since February, 2012.

Among the suggestions, replacing the lamp's bulb with a low powered
equivalent (LED or CFL) is part of the solution. I chose LED over
incandescent, but am still using my original Halogen outdoor light. The
bulb is 17 years old and the photocell was recently replaced for the
first time.

When replacing your photocell, you may have to take what you can find
that fits the E127584 mount.
