Problem with Security Light?

[Charlie R]

I wonder if the security light has a photoeye gone bad. The photoeye would normally keep it off during daylight hours.

This is why code require's all junctions in a box and be accessible. They broke code when they covered that up. There has to now be a junction that you cannot see.

The only junctions are where the wires from the light attach to the feed wire and that is enclosed by the J-block and the base of the security light. Prior to the installation of the soffit the wires came through a hole in the plywood soffit and were contained within the light base against the plywood with a gasket for waterproofing. The gasket is now mounted against the J-block.

Thanks, Charlie, for that suggestion. I'm going to try the security light in another location tomorrow and get a new light to try at the problem location.
