Turn the sensitivity away from test, put the dusk/dawn (center) in the middle away from accent or security and the timer wherever you like. Dusk to dawn will keep the light on any time it's dark but only on low power - it will go full power once the motion sensor is activated and stay at full power according to the timer setting. Security on the dusk to dawn setting will make it stay on all night and accent will make it stay on all of the time, day or night.

Why utilitech fluorescent light flickering?

If this is a dusk-to-dawn security light, the flickering could be caused by ambient or reflected light striking the cds mounted behind a small lens on the (side of most) cabinet. This causes the light to turn off, the reflected light (perhaps combined with ambient) is reduced the light turns back on and the cycle repeats. On my lamp, the light stays on for 6 - 10 seconds before flickering off and back on under these circumstances. You can check if this is the cause by sticking some black electrical tape over the lens - light will stop flickering if this is the problem. Good luck, Dr. Emmett Brown

Why does your outdoor dusk to dawn light keep going off?

Check to see if the fixture has a sensitivity setting or switch. Perhaps it needs to be adjusted or set correctly? I'm looking for the proper settings for mine now. Here is THE ANSWER: The photo cell that senses light and darkness is sensing the light coming from the fixture being controlled. Reposition the sensor away from the light of the fixture. Or shield the sensor from the light. Ideally the sensor should be located away from the light source.
