Default Weird Security Light Thingy

Changed two security lights for a customer a few weeks ago, both exactly
like for like. Fairly remote rural location.

Few days ago they had a power 'cut'. Seems like the power went off for a
very short time, neighbours alarm went off briefly, video etc needed re
setting.

Security light on the front (500w) stayed on all the time, it had switched
to manual override. Light at the back (150w) stayed in auto mode.

Switching off & back on the front light put it back to auto mode.

Both lights are the same make, same PIR, same controls, same instructions.

Can't work out why the 500w light threw a wobbly, but the 150w didn't?

Problem sorted, but I'd like to know.......
