  If your Altair Lantern lights don't turn on or flicker, there are several potential causes. It could be due to incorrect or loose wire connections, which can be resolved by accessing the outlet box and fixing the wire connections. Another possibility is that light from another source is shining onto the photocell; try eliminating the light source or moving the fixture to a different location.

  If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips when you turn on your Altair Lantern light, it's likely due to crossed wires or a power wire grounding out. To resolve this, access the outlet box and fix the wire connections.

Why do Altair AL-2163 Lantern lights stay on through the day?

  Jennifer ScottAug 22, 2025
  If your Altair Lantern lights stay on through the day, the fixture may be installed in a shaded area, preventing enough light from reaching the photocell during the daytime. Relocate the fixture to a well-lit area to resolve this issue.
