Fixing a motion sensor light: If you notice that the motion-detecting lights aren’t reacting properly, you may have to reset them. Simply turn them off for 30 seconds, and then turn them back on.

Cleaning the motion sensor: You should clean your motion sensor periodically with a soft damp cloth. Clean off any dust and mildew, as well as any insects or spider webs. Focus on cleaning the infrared sensor which makes the light come on when motion is detected.

False alarms: Keep in mind that your motion sensor light will not always be 100% correct. There may be cases of false alarms at times. What triggers a false alarm? Some causes can be insects, animals, lightning, a power surge, or improper installation.

Installation: If you are getting a security-type motion sensor light, you should get a professional to install it. They will know how and where to set up your motion sensor for the best results.

Safety vs. Security: There are safety motion sensors and security motion sensors. A safety motion sensor light will turn on the light for you to see the area, so you don't fall over or hit something when there is poor lighting. Safety motion sensor lights are not as expensive as security sensor lights. On the other hand, security motion sensors are more expensive, they do the job of informing you that someone is approaching your home. You should gather enough information about these products before deciding which is best for you.

Weather-resistant: If the motion sensor lights are installed outdoors, make sure that they are sufficiently weather-resistant. The Mr. Beams MB360 Wireless LED Spotlight is an incredibly bright LED motion detector light that is easy to install because of its wireless design. It covers an area of over 350 square feet. But, customers said that it doesn’t work well in cold climates if the temperature is under 40 ℉--the lights tend to flicker.
