[BlindHandyMan] front porch light
Okay, Last weekend we went to OSH to buy a replacement bulb for the porch light. I got help from one of the service employees. My wife pointed out a light fixture that was similar to ours so we got the correct light bulb. The light is suppose to turn on at dust and turn off at dawn VIA a sensor. Well we have a problem, the light is not turning off. We have to turn it on at night and turn it off in the morning. So I need some trouble shooting hints to try out. Thanks

Yesterday we pick up the correct light bulb for the front porch. I believe it was 40 watts as was suggested by the service a tenant. Came home and swamp them out. Turned the switch on and the light came on. This puzzled me as the censor should have known it was light out so the light shouldn't have came on. So we turned the switch off and turned it back on when it got dark. When my wife gets up it will be light and I'll have her check it to see if the light went off on it's own as it should have. I hope the censor didn't go bad. I can't see both the bulb and the censor going bad at the same time. So I'm perplexed at the moment.

Hi, Usually with a photocell it will switch on when the power is turned on, then it adjusts to the daylight.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] front porch light
Usually when turning on the light the sensor will kick on and turn off after a few minutes, unless you hit the switch twice quickly, and that will keep the light on until you turn off the switch.
