Thank you to everybody for trouble shooting this. Crusarius, that was the last piece of the puzzle for me, you mentioning the brightness of the garage door opener light, which is very close to the motion sensor. unfortunately, there is no 'sensitivity' control, my old one did have that, but...

Im not sure if it's on a switch. Not that i know of. The controls on it include Range (min-max), On-time (test, 1, 5, 20), Dual Brite (off, 3, 6, dusk to dawn) and Lamp mode (normal, soft flash). Otherwise it's just wired to the fixture. The directions tell how to use it manually, from the...

Thanks. i see a lot of them on Amazon.

It's good news to think the unit is defective because my old one looks pretty similar and never had a problem for 8 years. i googled how to find a replacement that will detect my car and found nothing about that, which must be because contrary to what Home depot said, this one IS supposed to...

Thank you everybody ! kart-racer: the light is in the windowless darkened garage with the bulb overhead and sensor in the center of the garage. when i open the door to walk in (the regular door), it's very dark in there, even with the small door open, and then the light comes on immediately...
