My driveway pole lights stopped working. I used a voltage tester and no power was feeding the lights. I figured my photocell sensor was defective so I replaced it and added new bulbs. It seemed to have worked. The lights came on at dusk but turned off after about 1 hour. Although it's dark out, I put tape on the sensor just on case there was light reflecting from something. Still didn't work.
Any ideas on what could be the issue?
Not sure if it matters but the old photo cell was rated 120V, 8.3 AMP, 1800W. The new sensor is rated 120V, 4.2 AMP, 500W. Could that be what's causing the problem?
