Do you find a need to clean the motion sensor? I have LED floodlights with motion sensors outside the garage, and they have developed the same problem that caused me to replace their incandescent predecessors: I have to walk up in front of them, jump up and down and wave my arms to get them to switch on. They worked fine when new.
I'm wondering if there's a way to clean them somehow? Or is it another issue?
