As others have said, either the electric eye is covered or it needs to be replaced. It is an easy fix involving taking off the lamp post and installing a new sensor. This involves 3 wires. You would want to turn off the post light breaker in your panelbox before you do this. It would most likely be a 15 amp single pole breaker marked post light.
Since the light is staying on, have someone watch the light while the other person turns off the breaker to insure the power is off. Once that is done it is a very easy do it yourself project. These typically go bad every 5 years or so.
There should be you tube videos on this....but if you are not comfortable working with electrical then you will need to find someone who is, or hire an electrician. Hope this helps!
