[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 233104, member: 250"] There are no boiler exhaust outlets near by are there? Had one set off every time the boiler fired up. But I think it is most likely damp or something got into the electronics of the PIR timer & sensor gubbins.... I have had this before knackerd circuit card, once the light is triggers the timer went into never ending loop of on-off-on-off-on-off... etc... like a bl00dy light house! You could take one off the wall and put put it in a controlled environment for a short test... e.g. wire it up in your garage so you now nothing should set it off Gut feeling, they need new lights, unless they are the sort that you can access the wiring between the lamp and the PIR circuit, in which case you could get a stand-alone PIR to work the lights... But it may be cheaper to just buy new lights. ;) :| [/QUOTE]
