3. Motion sensor obstructed.
1. Test in a darker environment.
2. Replace batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Clear any obstructions from the sensor's view.
Light stays on constantly or triggers repeatedly.1. Continuous motion in sensor range.
2. Sensor sensitivity too high (if adjustable, though this model is fixed).
3. Environmental factors (e.g., heat sources, strong winds moving objects).
1. Ensure no constant motion is within the detection zone.
2. Reposition the spotlight to avoid areas with constant activity or environmental disturbances.
