If you are taking the power from the existing light outside you have to be aware that when that outside light is switched off then the sensor light will not work. Your best choice should be power the sensor light from an un-switched source. This could be an existing receptacle outlet in a nearby location. Check your sensor configuration to see if the device has the function to be locked on and off by interrupting the voltage supply to it. If it does then a switch in its circuit is mandatory to make this function work. If this function is not included in the device then just connect it as the instructions explain and the fixture will come on when it senses movement and go off after a timed interval.
To install a motion sensor light switch for outdoor use, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the existing light switch at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing light switch cover and switch from the wall. Connect the wires from the motion sensor light switch to the existing wires in the wall, following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the motion sensor light switch to the wall and replace the cover. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and test the motion sensor light switch to ensure it is working properly.
Are you sure the light bulb is good? Perhaps it's not wired correctly even though you think it is, or maybe it's a bad light socket/connection, or a bad switch.
To install a motion sensor for an outdoor light, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing light fixture and disconnect the wires. Attach the motion sensor to the mounting bracket and connect the wires according to the instructions. Secure the sensor in place and mount the light fixture. Turn the power back on and test the motion sensor to ensure it is working properly.
To wire a motion sensor to an existing light, you will need to connect the motion sensor in between the power source and the light fixture. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper wiring and installation. Typically, you will need to connect the wires from the motion sensor to the existing wires in the electrical box, making sure to match the corresponding colors (e.g., black to black, white to white). It is important to turn off the power to the circuit before attempting any electrical work. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to consult a professional electrician for assistance.
if a light bulb is wired it lights if a motor is wired it turns
To properly wire a motion sensor light for installation, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit you will be working on at the breaker box. Remove the existing light fixture and disconnect the wires. Connect the black wire from the motion sensor to the black wire in the electrical box, and the white wire from the sensor to the white wire in the box. Connect the ground wire from the sensor to the ground wire in the box. Secure the sensor to the electrical box and install the light fixture. Turn the power back on and test the motion sensor light to ensure it is working properly.
Two pairs of Infrared LEDs are used as motion sensor detector. The first one is wired to emit LED and the second is wired to transmit a signal when it receives an infrared input. this infrared is reflected back to the receiving LED and then the signal is produced. This signal can be used to open sliding doors, turn on a light or set off an alarm.
maybe it's wired on the wrong side of the switch
