ACE Hardware sells the replacement light pole sensors for The Villages. I would suggest that take a photo of it to take with you to the store.

Make sure the power is OFF before you try to remove the sensor, TURN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OFF.

Lowes, Home Depot or Ace Hardware all have them. Real easy to change out. Previous post to make sure power is off is real important, wires are close together..

Ace hardware in Wildwood or Southern trace has them for about $10. Easy install, they will take you by the hand, you do not even need to have your old sensor with you.

Just get a dusk to dawn bulb from Amazon or the larger diy stores. Why fuss with the electronics, you’ll have to change the bulbs eventually anyway.

Lowes has the part as well as ACE - When you go to replace take a picture with your phone or a camera of how the wires are hooked up even if you feel you will remember how they hook up because sometimes you have several black or white wires along with red & green. Easy to replace.

ACE Hardware in Wildwood has them also. Two different types. Both will work.
Also have bulbs with sensors built in.
