How do you wire a motion security light from the box to the light?
You wire a security light like any other light. The sensor is generally part of the light and provides an "auxiliary" switch to detect movement and switch on the light, usually only after dark.The regular light switch for the security light should be left "on" at all times and labeled or enclosed to prevent being accidentally turned off. The sensor will not work, and the light will not go on, if the regular light switch it not on.Many modern units allow you to "lock" the motion sensor on by using the regular light switch to turn off the circuit and quickly turn it on again. This makes the light stay on until morning, when the photocell will turn it off and reset the lock, even without any motion detected.

Why do ceiling fan lights go out?
Without knowing some more facts, there could be several different answers to explain why a ceiling fan's lights "go out":someone has turned them off at the switch for the lights on the fan unit;the light bulbs are "dead" and need replacing because their filaments have broken;there is a fuse protecting the lighting circuit and it needs replacing because it blew from the surge of high current that sometimes happens when a light bulb "dies";there is a timer in the fan unit which turns the lights off after a certain period of time;the wiring from the switch to the light has become disconnected;the switch in the fan that controls the lights is broken and needs to be replaced...
If you have two exterior lights on a switch and need one of them to be a motion censer?
There are two ways to do it. The easiest is just to put a built-in motion sensor on the one light. The switch would have to be on for the motion sensor to work. If you just want the motion sensor to work without a switch, you need to run unswitched power directly to the light.

Do they make can lights with motion detectors?
Not that I have ever seen. The best thing to do is replace the switch controlling the can lights with a motions sensor switch like this: http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-PR150-1LW-Infrared-Occupancy-Residential/dp/B0007N72PG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417896541&sr=8-1&keywords=motion+sensor+light+switches
In my office lights turn on automatically when I enter the room how does it know that I am in the room?
Most likely the room has some sort of motion sensor to tell if someone is present. A heat sensor can tell if a person is in the room by the heat generated by the human body. A sound sensor can respond to noise made by a person walking, talking or otherwise. Either will work. The triggered sensor can turn on the lights or anything else electrically. The lights are usually attached to some kind of timer so that if no activity is detected in the room for a while, the lights are turned off until the next time the sensor is triggered.

1975 corvette headlights won't go down?
Engine must be running when you turn the light off- lights are operated from a vacuum system. There is also an "override" switch located at the base of the steering column. If this switch has been activated- then your lights will not go down. This switch was provided by G.M. for Vettes being outside in freezing temperatures. G.M. advised that the "override" switch be activated and the headlights would remain in their upright position on these cold nights. Switch is activated by pulling down or pushing up.
