[Shop-talk] motion lights

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, I'm tapping the vast wisdom here for a problem I've been dealing with 
for years now.

I love motion lights.  I live in a very rural area and they are key to my 
peace of mind.

The problem is, they seem to fail at an increasing rate and just stay 
either on or off.  (I know they have a feature if you flip the lights on 
and off they can override the sensor, that isn't the case in these 
lights.)

I have some lights that have lasted over 15 years, and the new replacement 
ones are barely lasting 2 years.  I've tried the new LED ones as well (and 
LED bulbs in older style ones.)  I don't get lots of power fluctuations or 
outages. 

Can anyone recommend an outdoor  motion light that is durable?  Preferably 
one that does NOT have the override feature, if possible,?

Or, can someone tell me what is causing the failures and what I can do to 
fix the problem?

Thanks
