I am on my second set of motion sensor lights on my detached garage. The first set (turned out to be) was an elcheapo $25 buy from costco. It lasted about 3/4 of a year before the sensor stopped work

*I can picture any flexibility of the mounting causing a motion sensor activation: it would "think" the whole world was moving. . . can you fix it solid with guy wires, etc., just as a test to see if

Look for what is flapping in the wind, and fix it. The one in my backyard does the same thing, whenever the wife leaves clothes on the line or even a rug over the railing. -- Randall _______________

<LOL> I have the same issue. So all I have to do is take down all the spruce trees that drop boughs in the wind? <grrrr> Jack - who grins and bears it because for me, there is no solution. --Original

While what you suggest makes total sense, near as I can tell it, is mounted very solidly to the building. I just grabbed the fixture and it didn't move. I don't see how I could mount it any more soli

*I think I'd still triangulate it with wire or something for a test but actually, I've gone to "dusk to dawn" flood lights on my * *shop because my motion detector lights never lasted very long. Tony

There are more sophisticated detectors available, that can distinguish between a tree branch moving in the wind and a person moving, but they are significantly more expensive (and usually sold for a

Are there trees nearby? I had this problem with the light I put on my garage, due to tree limbs that were nearby. I tried pointing the sensor as far away from the tress possible, but they still set i

No thanks. I can put up with the light going on occasionally, instead of an expensive sensor. Jack There are more sophisticated detectors available, that can distinguish between a tree branch moving

Closest trees are beyond the range of the sensor. There is nothing in the range of the sensor that could move in the wind. I guess there must be enough vibration of the cheaply built menard garage ki

I have a different motion sensor light problem... I can't make any of them keep working for more than about six months. At this point I think I'd be willing to spend like $300 for a motion sensor li
