  The light may stay on continuously because of several reasons. Try decreasing the "SENS" setting or repositioning the motion sensor. You can also set the ON-TIME switch to 1, 5, or 20 minutes and follow the Manual Mode instructions to reset. Avoid using a dimmer or timer; replace them with a standard on/off wall switch. Additionally, ensure the light fixture is installed on a circuit without motors, transformers, or fluorescent bulbs.

  If the light does not come on, ensure the light switch is turned on and replace the fuse or turn the circuit breaker on. Recheck after dark and verify the wiring is correct. Re-aim the motion sensor to cover the desired area. Also, increase the "SENS" setting.

  If the lights flash on and off, reposition the lamp heads away from the motion sensor. You can also decrease the "SENS" setting or reposition the motion sensor. If you are in TEST mode, remember that the light only stays on for 8 seconds; set the ON-TIME switch to 1, 5, or 20 minutes.
