| Mar 15, 2018 at 19:49 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | Most motion sensors have a light detector also: the idea is, don't turn the light on if there's a lot of natural light. I suspect your brighter bulb is making the motion sensor think it's daylight. Normally motion sensors calibrate themselves to "normal here"based on 24hour cycles, that won't work here. I can't tell if this even has that feature because the product description is cheap Cheese, as is the product itself, unfit for use in mains power. Literally illegal (NEC 110.3 in USA). | |
