Why does an energy saving light bulb with a light sensor stay on in daylight?

The sensing unit on the fixture is thinking that it is night time. If your fixture has a switch before the light, that has to be left on for the sensor to work, try the following. Turn the fixture off with the switch and leave it off for about ten minutes. Turn the switch back on and the fixture will turn on. If the sensor circuitry is working the fixture will turn off after your "delay on" setting is reached. If there is no switch before the fixture check to see if the sensor has been covered, fooling the sensor into thinking it is night time. If it is a hollow tube type sensor, sometimes hornets will lay an egg in there and cover the sensor with a mud patch. As a last resort change the sensitivity control so that is senses daylight sooner, allowing the sensor to shut off earlier. If none of the above work its time to buy a new sensor. These can be bought individually and installed into the old fixture.

Where we can use light sensitive alarm?

If you consider using area lighting to ward off intruders as an alarm device, then a dusk to dawn light fixture can be in this category. The light fixture has a sensor that monitors the ambient light level. When the light level drops below a certain set point the circuit closes and the light fixture will turn on. Usually in these types of fixtures there is also a sensor that can detect infra red images of moving people and animals. The two internal devices and connected in series with one another so that the fixture becomes energized but does not light the lamp when it gets dark and will turn the lamp on in the fixture if an infra red image is detected.
