when someone first told me this i didnt believe it, but after seeing a few
go and testing them its true.

for some reason the sensor seems to go bad in those fixtures. you could
probably trace it to cheaper fixtures. maybe better ones dont do it. ive
ripped into a couple and after testing them enough to know the sensor was
bad component, i cut the sensor out of a couple of em and used them in
locations that just needed a swtich...

its extremely unlikely something happened that is causing both bulbs to
instantly burn out.

did you try those bulbs someplace else? i bet they work. i'd just replace
the fixture.

I have a motion sensor light in my driveway. One night I turned
it on and the bulbs flashed on and then immediatelywent out. I put in new
bulbs, but the light wouldn't work at all. Not even a flash when
I turned it on.

What could the problem be? Where should I start?

Thanks in advance,
