About Dusk to Dawn Sensor on Lanterns?

roo asked:


I have installed two Lanterns for my house with the Dusk to Dawn Sensors. I just can’t figure out why the bulbs keep flashing? It’s totally dark outside, it should just be on. I have checked the Sensors they do not have any switches that I can adjust the sensitivity. Also the manual does not say anything about the sensors, but you aspect that the manufacture to cover every detail about this product in the manual. I need help, does anyone know anything about this??????????????
I have covered the sensor by my finger and the flashing stopped. but is there any way to adjust these sensors. or maybe I have to down grade the light bulbs from 60w to 40w?

      The dusk to dawn sensors, ( technical name is photocells) may be defective because they are semi on and off giving you the flashing. And you bypassed it by covering the photocell lense which gave it complete darkness. Also check that your sensors arent near any other type of lite source that may reflect and cause this malfunction.
