From: jaugustine on 14 May 2010 09:16 Hi Charlie, That PDF file I downloaded via the cooperlighting site is for a Regent, not "Cooper Lighting". Perhaps "Regent" is the brand made by "Cooper Lighting". Even though the model number is the same, there is a difference on the bottom of the sensor. My relative's doesn't have the slide switch. I am sure I wrote down the correct model number, because I double checked. I will have my relative try the procedure after it is dark, turn off for 5 seconds, then turn it back on. If that works, I will post an update. Thanks to you and the others, John On Thu, 13 May 2010 15:45:25 -0400, in sci.electronics.repair you wrote: >OK. I don't know everything.

Hi Charlie, UPDATE: The procedure works! My relative reported after it was dark, she turned off the power switch for 5 seconds, then turned it back on, and the light stays on.
