- The duration settings you set are too high, recheck the settings and set the light accordingly.
- The sensitivity level is too high, if you have set up the light with a sensitivity level too high it will light up even after detecting a small motion so try to adjust it accordingly.
- Restart the light, these types of light have a built-in function to override settings this leads the light to stay bright for a long time, this can be corrected by switching the light on and then off within 3 seconds.
- Defective Piece, sometimes the light itself is defective you will need to replace it in order to make it work properly.
