Q: In my garage I have a light fixture with a sensor in it that is supposed to turn on the lighting when someone comes out in the garage. Iβve always used incandescent lights in the fixture, but recently I put an LED bulb into it. So now the LED bulb blinks on and off and on again all the time until I turn off the sensor in the wall switch by hand. How can I fix this?
A:Β If you keep the fixture the same and change the type of bulb, the light wonβt always operate the way that itβs supposed to. Youβll have to buy and install a fixture thatβs compatible with LED bulbs. LED bulbs are electronic as opposed to the resistance nature of incandescent bulbs. So LEDs require a fixture designed for electronic devices.
