Is there a trick to have a motion light stay on constantly? I've googled and tried the "turn on off on quickly" and that doesn't work. I also don't see any switch setting to adjust for how long it stays on once it is triggered.

I would assume every one is different. Mine has knobs on it. You can adjust the sensitivity with one and how long it stays on with another.

It does. See attached. I'm looking to be able to manually turn on and off. Right now it only stays on for about 10 seconds.

Many flood lights can be hard-wired for a manual mode, but it doesn't look like this model is configured for it. Ultimately, you can bypass any motion sensor, but it may require modifications that aren't practical, such as in this case.

Just to make sure you're following the instructions for this unit - start in the 'On' position. In less than 2 seconds, turn 'off-on-off-on'.

If that doesn't work, it might be easiest to just swap it with a non-sensored fixture. They're pretty cheap (~$20).

I've tried the off/on/off/on several times. And the motion is sketchy. I got a regular unit and Lowes for $30. I really only need it when my dog goes out at night

Thanks to everyone for the input.
