It is true that it takes a little while for the sensor to switch the bulb on after you block the light, most of them will instantly turn the bulb on for a short while as soon as power is applied, i.e. after the circuit breaker is turned on.

I took the light apart again and re-checked all the connections, but it looks like the real culprit was the accumulation of bugs and debris. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my post.
