How do you bypass a motion sensor light switch?

Moreover, how do you bypass a motion sensor light?

Most motion detectors have a built-in override:

1. Normally the switch is kept on all the time.
2. If you turn the switch off and on within a second or so, the light will stay on, and this overrides motion detection.
3. To go back to normal operation, turn the switch off and wait ~10 seconds, then turn back on.

Furthermore, how do you trick a motion sensor? Move slowly along the walls in which the sensors are located, and as low as possible, while proceeding forward. Many motion sensors have blind spots that make it difficult to detect movement directly underneath them. Be aware that another sensor may be pointing in your direction from the other side of the room.

Moreover, can you bypass motion sensor on outdoor light?

Bypassing your motion detector Many motion detectors can be bypassed with little effort. With an additional light switch, the connected outdoor light can then be switched to permanent light.

Does a motion sensor light need a switch?

Again, one must check the manufacturer's instructions for motion-sensor type lighting. If the manufacturer's installation instructions require a switch, then it must be installed. Allowing the motion sensor without the switch would be a violation of NEC Article 110.3(B). Usually those motion sensors require a switch.
