Has anyone noticed this light turns on/off way before and after dusk/dawn? Can sensitivity be adjusted?

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

I noticed the same; I just assumed it was due to being located under my eaves. I don't see any adjustment provisions either.

Yes, that happens with the unit that I purchased as well and I did not notice a sensitivity adjustment. On the other hand, I get to see them in operation this way and they don't really cost much to run, so there is little harm done.

I believe there is a setting for always on. But if you put it on a switch, it may revert to the auto setting when you turn it off. That would mean it would not come on until the light sensor decides it is dark enough. That may not be a big deal if you only plan to switch it on when it is dark and you need the light.

There are different light brightness settings, one of which is the off position.

Mine did that at first. Best solution I've found is at night turn out all the lights, flash the sensor with a flash light and unplug the controls power. Plug the power back in, then turn the flash light off. That pretty much reset mine and works fine now.

I have mine on a timer, not dusk to dawn, so I really can't comment on that. My setting is on AUTO.

There is no light sensor, unfortunately. So, as the days become longer, I have to change the time that it comes on. I hope that answers your question.

I'm also having the same issue with 2 888LM's keeping the lights on constantly. They didn't seem to do it when first installed but nowall the time. I'm wondering if they get more sensitive during colder temperatures.I've turned the motion detection off for now unfortunately.

Funny you should ask about "always on". I bought and installed two of these. One is on all the time dawn to dusk no matter how I have it set. The works sometimes and others it is also on dawn to dusk. I do NOT recommend these lights.

That is when it is set on dusk to dawn mode. Should turn on when dark off when light

There is a little dial on the sensor for adjustment. I believe it can be run dusk till dawn.

Yes....light has 3 settings, off, dusk-to-dawn and motion sensor setting. I have mine set to motion sense so the light only turns on when I walk by it and I have it set to stay on for about 30 seconds after I walk away from it

although it is motion sensored, it does work from dusk to dawn, i leave the light switch on all the time where it is connected.

There is a 3 way switch on the light which allows dusk to dawn or motion sensing. The answer is the light is capable of both functions. I had a hard time getting it to be a motion light. It took many tries but finally it worked. It should not have taken so many tries.

Yes, the easiest way is to plug it into day/night sensor plug. That way it comes on automatically in the evening and goes off at dawn.

Yes the day light sensor is disabled by default, just motion sensor is enabled. The daylight is an additional setting you can enabled if desired.

I believe that you will need to adjust the timer. There are various settings that you can adjust to meet your lighting and security purposes. You may have the timer set in the test position. I would check here first, the switch is located on the bottom side of the sensor.

Your sensor is pointed at something reflective. When the light comes on, the sensor is seeing that light and reading it as daytime. Your light will cut on and off all night. Please direct the sensor to an area that is not illuminated when the light comes on. That should solve your problem.
