i have two motion lights here.  One came with the place, but didnt
work properly, the other I installed.  Both now use sensors from heath
zenith (one is this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Heath-Zenith-HZ-5316-WH-240-Degree-Replacement/dp/B000OUW7O
 the other is similar, but the beam angle is smaller).  The existing
one just had the sensor swapped out, the one I installed has the
sensor mounted remotely from the light it controls (only sensible way
to make that light location work).  Both have been working fine for
several years.
