[Shop-talk] Motion sensor lights in the wind

While what you suggest makes total sense, near as I can tell it, is mounted very solidly to the building. I just grabbed the fixture and it didn't move. I don't see how I could mount it any more solid.

solid with guy wires, etc., just as a test to see if that is the culprit?*
