Quite often it&#8217;s just pointing the wrong way.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>If the lamp&#8217;s own light reaches the sensor, the unit decides morning has arrived and turns the lamp off.

A quarter turn or a small shield often does it. Some controls also wait a short moment before switching, so a lightning flash or a passing car doesn&#8217;t flip the lamp.

It coats the window until the unit thinks the yard is darker than it is.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Have a look at the housing, the gasket, the stem and the sealing points. Long-Join&#8217;s photocontrol installation guide recommends proper sealing around certain stem-mounted controls. Where condensation might form, it also suggests running the wires downward with a drip loop, so water drips off instead of creeping toward the control.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iec.ch\/ip-ratings\"><u>Clasificaci\u00f3n IP<\/u><\/a>\u00a0before fitting a control somewhere exposed.
