" ... Dusk to dawn does not turn off even when you shine a mag light in the sensor. ... "
" ... ok here is the problem: the dusk till dawn sensor works but as soon as it is dark enough to turn the lights on, the lights do in fact turn on, causing the sensor to think it's light outside again and then it turns them off!!! ... "
" ... Turns off & on, but the sensor does not work. ... "
" ... I set it to dusk, then put my finger over the sensor . ... I fear the sensor does not work . ... "
" ... The light sensor is very weak. ... "
" ... The dusk sensor was a bit off because sometimes it would be foggy outside and they'd turn the lights on instead of waiting until actual dusk, but it was perfect for what we wanted it for! ... "
