Outside sensor coach down lantern
Hi everyone, we have had an outside down lantern at the front door since we moved in, it has been working fine all this time ,which has been approximately 5yrs. The lantern was left in the ON position at the switch and only comes on when it gets dark and off again when its light ( I believe it is called a dawn till dust lantern) then all of a sudden it only worked when the actual switch was in the OFF position and has been working like this for quite a few months. Well now its stopped all together, ive bought new bulbs ,changed them and left the light in the on position for a day to see if it came back on, then i left in the off position the one where it worked last ,but to no avail . I've also wiped the sensor on the top just in case it was dirty. I dont really want to buy a new one just yet as i think there maybe something happening with the actual light switch itself . Also as it’s an upside down lantern and they seem very hard to come by WITH a SENSOR , Thank you in adavance .
