My lamp post light does not turn on at night.Replace the bulb but it still does not work.I have a Colony Patio Villa but cannot find a wall switch for the lamp post or determine what breaker to shut down before I replace the sensor.I do not want to shut down the whole house to replace the sensor.
Any ideas? |

Your light sensor on the post needs to be replaced.

two of our neighbors had same issue---sensor was not working. They bought replacement sensors at Ace and then at Lowe's. Neither replacement sensor worked very long. Finally called Pike Electric at Sumter Landing----talked to them---they asked if sensors were bought at Ace and Lowe's------said there was a problem with them. The sensor cost a little more at Pike but so far they are still working.

I have prob replaced 2 dozen lamp post sensors. Sometimes they go bad and the bulb will not come on .... sometimes they go bad and it will not turn off.
I have never seen one on a GFI circuit. Typically they are on the same circuit as all of the other outside lights. I have never had a replacement one from Lowes or HD go bad (oldest replacement is prob about 5 years old). If you are going to use a florescence bulb in your lamp post you must make sure the sensor is rated for one .... it will specifically say so on the packaging. |
