  1. I’ve had the same problem with the screw in motion sensing light fixtures myself. I bought a couple to put in my garage and sometimes they would “sense” and turn on and other times they wouldn’t. I ended up returning them to Home Depot. I suggest doing the same thing and cutting your losses.

    They’re a great idea in theory but the sensing technology that they use is just not where it should be yet – the sensing lights that they sell that are NOT the screw in type (meaning you actually have to wire them to a box) do work pretty well though. My parents have had one in their mud room that’s worked perfectly for years…for some reason the screw in types just don’t work as well, it may be because of the size of the “sensing window” in the smaller fixtures.

  2. Where were you a couple hours sooner? I returned the one that didn’t work and exchanged it for another – that doesn’t work either.

    When we first moved into this house 20 years ago I put in a couple of those outdoor motion sensing things with the two floodlights on each corner in the back. They didn’t work very well if I recall and have been bulb-less for years.

    I was hoping that the technology had advanced in the last couple of decades.
