Why does my Defiant 1001311056 Flood Light stay on all the time?
- N
  Nicholas OrozcoAug 9, 2025
  Your Defiant Flood Light might be staying on continuously due to several reasons. It could be that the motion sensor is detecting a heat source like an air vent or a heat-reflective surface; try decreasing the “SENS” setting or moving the sensor. The sensor might also be in manual mode, so switch it to auto. Also, avoid using a dimmer or timer; replace it with a standard on/off switch. Lastly, ensure the light isn't on the same circuit as a motor, transformer, or fluorescent bulb; if it is, install it on a separate circuit.

What to do if my Defiant Flood Light keeps flashing on and off?

  Craig MitchellAug 18, 2025
  If your Defiant Flood Light is flashing on and off, it could be because heat or light from the bulbs are activating the motion sensor. Try repositioning the lamp heads away from the sensor. Reflected heat from other objects might also be the cause; try decreasing the “SENS” setting or repositioning the motion sensor. Another possibility is that the motion sensor is in “TEST” mode and warming up. If so, set the “Auto / Test” control to “Auto,” as the light only stays on for 8 seconds in test mode.

How to fix Defiant Flood Light that flashes once then stays off in manual mode?

  John MartinezAug 29, 2025
  If your Defiant Flood Light flashes once and then stays off in manual mode, it's likely that the motion sensor is detecting light from the lamp heads. Reposition the lamp heads to ensure the area below the motion sensor remains relatively dark.
