Purchased June 7 2021 - Failing March 9 2024. The lens on the PIR sensor became brittle and cracked apart from Florida sun. The sensor is now making it come on randomly every couple of minutes from dusk to dawn. It is sensitive enough the neighborhood cats will set it off and we were used to that. This is different though it's coming on non-stop.
We've been satisfied with its performance over the past 3 years that I'm purchasing another as a replacement. The amount of light this thing puts out is amazing. For the price if I have to replace it every 3 years it's just barely worth the hassle. If it was more expensive I'd probably go with a different brand that has a more rugged PIR sensor shell.
I'm probably going to replace it with the new model that has the 5ft remote leads to the secondary lights. That sounds appealing for how I have mine mounted and can run the wires inside the soffit. I'm wondering if I can get some wire extenders to mount the secondary lights even farther away to cover the entire side of the house. If not I can always cut and splice longer wires of the same outdoor rated gauge to it.
I'm including pictures of the 3 year old light and a picture from a security camera mounted just beneath the lights. Anything used to trigger the PIR sensor on the lights would also trigger the security camera but that is no longer the case with a malfunctioning PIR sensor.
