I just bought a house with a motion sensor flood light outside. The previous owner told me the lights might be burned out, so I changed both bulbs, but still no lights. I have the switch on inside the house, and on the two switches on the sensor, I have the sensitivity set to "min" and the time set to "5". It's a Heath-Zenith light. Any ideas on what I should check next?

This is sort of a continuation to an earlier post regarding a project Im working on. I added a pull string light to my pantry and planned on tapping into a downstairs receptacle for power. I just ran the wire through the walls to the crawlspace and hooked up the wiring to the light. Only I just noticed something that I'm not completely sure of and I need some help. The wire that the clerk at Home Depot said I should buy for the new light was 14/2. Only, I just noticed that the receptacle that I need to tap is connected with #12 wire and is controlled at the breaker by a 20amp switch. So, does this mean that the wire I bought and ran needs to be taken out and replaced with #12? Final point of confusion, the outlet I am tapping into says its a 15 amp. What gives? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a stand still and would like to get everything working and clean up before the wife gets home. ;) bubba
