Outdoor sensor light (sensor seems to be integrated) not working. How would I fix it? Is it just the globe, or is it something else like that battery-like thing at the bottom? Do I need an electrician or can I do it myself?
Hi @abcdefghij
There isn't anything in that picture to suggest there is a built in sensor. I would suggest you call an electrician.
Hello @abcdefghij
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your sensor light.
Please note that any electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician for safety and compliance.
I agree with @R4addZ there appears to be no sensor visible in the assembly. It's possible that the sensor is another device located somewhere else in the room. I recommend engaging the services of an electrician to assess the condition of your lighting system.
Should you decide to replace your lighting fixture, please make sure to inquire about the stores Electrical Installation Service.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thank you both. Apologies, sensor is not integrated. Is there a way to tell if the issue is with the sensor or light bulb? If it's a simple light bulb change I'd rather avoid the electrician fee.
I can only suggest changing the light bulbs in your light fitting. Please make sure that the light switch is in the off position before removing the bulbs. If after changing the light bulbs and it still fails to function, I suggest engaging a licensed electrician. They will be able to perform a much more thorough investigation on why the light does not want to operate.
Please remember that the sensor will probably not work if here is adequate light in the room, if you know where the sensor is, you can try covering it up. But if it is movement activated, that may defeat the object!
