But the easiest and least expensive fix is simply changing the light bulb.
Feit dusk to dawn light bulb not working.
Feit electric makes an led bulb with a photocell light sensor that turns the bulb on at night and off during the day.
Locate the photo cell on the light fixture or the external photo cell control.
Potential issues could include a fixture or lamp shade that blocks the light usage in doors in a room without direct sunlight or the light sensor could be faced toward a wall or inside a fixture without access to sunlight.
You could install a new light sensitive fixture or install a switch on an existing fixture.
The main reason dusk to dawn lights don t turn on or stay on is that the sensor is frozen in the on or off position.
First of all turn off the lights using the light switch.
The lights may also be turning off frequently at night because the sensors are detecting the light from other sources or from the lights themselves.
To trouble shoot the issue first check that the light sensor is able to receive enough light to activate the sensor.
Lastly flip the light switch back on.
