After Power Outage Motion Light is Constantly On

[JRM24]

I installed a powered camera/motion light unit several days ago and it has worked flawlessly. This morning we had a severe thunderstorm which resulted in a short power outage. Now the motion light remains constantly illuminated. I have reset the sensitivity to “darkest” but it doesn’t matter. What do I need to do to get the light working again?

FYI the doorbell camera, battery camera, and powered camera attached to the light are all working fine.

Have you just tried turning off the power to the fixture for a couple of minutes to see if the floodlight resets? Otherwise, I suppose the thunderstorm could have produced an electrical surge that damaged the floodlight component.

If that doesn't help, you could try contacting Support using the link and instructions below, to see what they say:

Yep, resetting the light did the trick! Thanks for the assist!
