I have a couple Defiant brand (home depot) LED ones that have lasted longer than previous halogen or incandescent varieties. They are pretty good for the price

(same brand)<span> </span></span>I had to replace worked great but a bird pecked out the motion sensor "window" so I figured it'd eventually fail. Still worked fine up until that point.</div>

<div><font size="2" face="sans-serif">OK, I'm tapping the vast wisdom here for a problem I've been dealing with for years now.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">I love motion lights. I live in a very rural area and they are key to my peace of mind.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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.)</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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. </font><br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Can anyone recommend an outdoor motion light that is durable? Preferably one that does NOT have the override feature, if possible,?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Or, can someone tell me what is causing the failures and what I can do to fix the problem?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Thanks</font> <br>
