Outdoor Flickering lights

Hi Everyone,

I have two outdoor lights sitting in a motion sensor blinking. I checked last time and they were not blinking, last night customers send me a video of blinking lights. Any advice?

How old is the unit? Is it a true on/off blink or a light pulse?

the sensors will pull a tiny amount of current and can cause some lights to pulse In the older units that weren’t listed for use with LEDs

Sort of like how the watt limiters in ceiling fans screw with LEDs also.

Thank you for your response!

is a light pulse, Lights don't go on and off. Should I replace the motion sensor with one listed for LED lights?

I would.
The entire LED fixture is less money than an hour of your time fooling with putting LED bulbs in an old incandescent motion light.

Change one of the bulbs to incandescent, if it quits, then that is your issue.

the lights are heavy and 20 feet high. I think will be better just to replace the motion sensor with one listed for LED lights
