To reset the lights into “auto off-on” mode turn the light switch off for 10 or so seconds before turning it back on and it’ll go back to the normal functioning mode. Jamming in one mode: When you turn the motion sensors switch on and off in a span of three seconds, the light goes into “auto-on” mode meaning it will stay on and will not go off even after the specified duration.
If the duration is too long means the lights stay on for longer after detecting any motion. The appropriate time should range from 5 to 10 minutes at most. A solution to this is by reducing the sensitivity of the motion sensor using the adjustment knob or settings on the light.ĭuration settings: The motion lights have a setting on how long they are supposed to stay on when they turn on. The reason why the light may be on for most of the time is when the sensitivity is set too high meaning the light is triggered by minimal factors like distant objects or even bugs. Sensitivity: Most lights come with a sensitivity and range setting allowing customizations. Reasons, why the light may fail to shut off, are: The lens covering the sensor gives the motion sensing light a vast field of view. The sensor depends on rapid or sudden altering an amount of infrared charge in the sensors field of view. This means they emit 9 to 10 micrometers of wavelength meaning the sensors should be made sensitive to a range of 8 to 12 micrometers. For those meant to detect human beings, the sensor is made sensitive to human body temperature which is about 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
Most motion sensing lights use a passive system which functions by detecting infrared energy around.
