Hi all,

I just moved into a new home that has a post light outside on the lawn that didn’t work with the sensor. I know I have power to it because when I wire the light to the house (bypassing the sensor), the lights stays on continuously.

I’ve changed the bulb, sensor and lantern piece, verified the wiring is correct and what the right type of bulb to work with is. I’ve also looked for switches that may be off, GFCI outlets that may be popped and nothing works. May switch the sensor out but it’s driving me nuts.

Anything else I may be missing? Appreciate the help!
