Q: Why would a motion detector light need to be reset?

• <div><p>A motion detector light may need to be reset due to a number of technical issues. These can include faulty or misadjusted sensors and burned-out bulbs. You may also need to reset a motion sensor after an electrical surge or a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/help-i-have-power-outage.htm">power outage</a>, as these can change a light&rsquo;s settings and cause it to function differently.</p></div>

Q: Can a motion sensor be added to an existing light?

• <div><p>Yes! As a matter of fact, there are many sensors that add motion to existing outdoor lights. These motion sensors attach to pre-existing flood lights and other outdoor lights without any fussy and potentially dangerous electrical work. Additionally, some flood lights and related fixtures ship with motion sensors built-in. </p></div>

Q: Do outdoor lights need to be on a GFCI?

• <div><p>The requirements for outdoor lighting will vary depending on the type of light, where it&rsquo;s located on the exterior of your home, and your local electrical code. Lights that come into contact with water (i.e. pool lights) will need to be on a GFCI, for instance. That being said, it&rsquo;s safest to have any outdoor light on GFCI because of the risk of moisture. A pro can give you more specific information for your unique circumstances.</p></div>

Q: Can animals trigger motion-sensor lights?

• <div><p>Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.</p></div>

Q: Are pool lights safe?

• <div><p>Pool lights are designed to be safe by protecting swimmers from electrocution. These lights are made with waterproof fixtures and seals to prevent contact with the water.</p><p>Electrocution from pool lights is still possible, but rare. Faulty wiring or broken lighting equipment can make lights unsafe, so it&rsquo;s important to replace lights as needed and have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring. </p></div>
