The constant need to wave at the sensor to keep the light on became frustrating. Instead of discarding these lights and upgrading to expensive smart LEDs, I decided to save some money and modify their trigger circuits to extend their on-time.
For most motion-activated lights, this can be done by changing one resistor! So instead of throwing out your old motion lights, bring them back to life with this easy fix!
