You might want to look into a different type of solar light. My garden lights don't put out a lot of light but they do stay on all night. Good luck, give this link a try. http://solarlightcharger.com

The light will only stay on as long as the battery lasts. My guess is that will not last all night. What you can do is buy a light sensor switch (or even a light sensor socket adaptor is available to save you from having to wire it in) to keep a light on during the night. You can use a CFL or even an LED lamp to save electricity, but it is unlikely that a solar-charged cell will power even one of thes all night long.

I have a defiant 180 motion security light. Just put the bulbs in and they are turning on during the daylight from a motion. how do I get it to com on only when dark?

There should be three adjustments on that light.
1. Amount of darkness to allow trigger
2. Amount of time it stays on
3. How sensitive the motion detector is.

If you would post the model number it would help

Brinks motion activated security light model 7160w. Only stays on for about 15 seconds. Setting is on 10 minutes. Can someone help?

Sounds like the motion sensor is not picking up motion. Or, does it actually sense motion and only stay on for a short time each time? Try moving the setting, if this is the case and see if you see ANY change. If not, then replace the motion sensor.

Switch the Dual Timer selector to OFF.

Then check fixture again.

Motions don't stay active when doors and windows are on too.

The system is working as designed. If you arm both doors/windows and motions, but you DON'T exit the premises during the exit delay, the system will "downgrade" its arming to doors/windows only. The assumption is that you haven't actually left the premises and are at risk of creating fale alarms. This behavior can be disabled in System Configuration (though it may require the dealer access code to do it).

Try opening and closing a sensored external door (even if you don't go outside) during the delay after arming doors+motion and see if the motions don't stay active.
