Why does the light of my security light activate at random?

If your security light triggers at random then it may be detecting movement from the road, pathway or animals. 

There are a few tips to help solve this:

1. Change the PIR sensitivity. You can reduce the sensitivity of the PIR by turning the sensitivity dial anti-clockwise. This also helps avoid activation from small animals.You can find the dial next to the PIR sensor.
   Note: Not all models have this function.

2. Adjust the PIR position. You can tilt the PIR to adjust its detection area, this way it can be moved downwards to avoid the PIR detecting movement further away such as on a road or pathway or left and right to avoid a neighbors property.
   Note: Not all models have this function.

3. Adjust the position of the item. Reducing the mounting height of the item will reduce its overall detection area, also moving the item away from sources of heat such as a boiler flue can help avoid random detection.
