Have a look in the instructions. They all do slightly different things when you first connect them. It'll probably be something to do with the amount of time you leave between switching it on and off.

The answer will be in the booklet..

If it's a PIR it'll also have adjustable "time on" and "daylight on" settings.

Make sure these are adjusted to low for the first and high for the second, to do any setting. Otherwise you'll be there all day.

My ones always come ON when power is cut, then restored. ;)
