Have you just had new LED motion sensor lights installed in your home that aren't working properly?
Are your new LED motion sensor lights not turning on or off anymore?
Are the motion sensor lights really dim when they turn on?
It might be because they are connected up to an old movement sensor!
Some older style motion sensors are not compatible with LED light bulbs, which may be causing your new motion detector lights not to work properly. This is usually for one of two reasons:
- The electronics inside the LED light bulb are not compatible with the older electronics inside the motion sensor, or
- The old motion detector was designed to work with older styles of light bulbs which have a much higher wattage, so the wattage of the new LED light bulbs is now too low for detecting motion effectively.
Can this be fixed?
Kenner Electrics can install a Load Correction Device on these older style motion sensors which will usually fix the issue by helping the motion sensor and the LED light bulbs work together properly.
If not, it may be time to update your motion sensor. There are a range of new motion sensor options which will work well with new LED light bulbs. Click here to read more about the differences between different types of motion sensors, and the best one to choose for your home.
