Stuck on all night, or never on at all. Usually the sensor — adjusted or replaced in one visit.
Three causes cover almost every call we get for this.
Sensitivity, timer and daylight settings on the sensor body. Easy to knock, easy to set.
Weather kills sensors in a few years. Replacement sensor or fixture.
Flipping the switch off and on quickly puts many sensors in manual mode. Off for a minute resets it.
Takes a minute, costs nothing, fixes it more often than you would think.
Switch it off at the wall for a full minute, then on. Many sensors reset to automatic.
Still happening? That's our job.

A motion sensor light that stays on or will not turn on is usually the sensor: set to a test or always-on mode after a power blip, aimed at a road or a bush that moves, failed from years of weather, or wired to a switch that someone flipped off and on too quickly, which forces many sensors into always-on. Try the switch off for a full minute and back on. If that does not restore it, the sensor is set wrong or has failed, and an electrician adjusts or replaces it.
