ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Why is a Photocell porch light flickering

Here is some additional information after my initial post.

When I said it flickers every quarter of a second… To better describe the flicker, it is a constant and consistent on/off/on/off with it pausing just a fraction of a second before it changes (like someone is moving the light switch up and down as fast as they can).

It is hard wired (I bypassed the light switch).

It is actually the third, identical fixture (all from different orders) to do the same flickering.

It is mounted in a very dark place (the other lights don’t shine into the area it is at).

Thanks
