OR women...relax.

My floodlights won't turn off. They are motion detector lights and up until a couple of months ago, worked fine. Now they're on all day and all night and my bill just tripled. Suggestions?

Thx.

1. Duct tape over the sensor.

Well, that's a temporary solution.

Edited to add: I'd hazard a guess that you may need to replace them. The sensor is probably screwed up.

They're ON even when there IS no motion.

4. Easiest solution -- first unscrew the lightbulbs.
Then purchase a new motion detector for $15.00.
