If they are like mine, they have a three way switch on them. One position is on all the time. The middle position is off, and the third position is motion sensing. Try toggling the switch to the middle position.

The light in our 2020 Solitude 310GK has no switch. You can put some black electrical tape over part or all of the motion sensor to reduce its sensitivity or defeat it altogether.

We haven't noticed that ours come on without any motion. The cat noticed that they do. We have a different floor plan, but the lights are in the same place. The one at the front step is very sensitive to motion in our living room and your kitchen. I have learned with any motion detector item that they have sweet spots and almost dead spots. My thought is that Grand Design used something a little more sensitive in order to ensure that the lights are one well before you reach the steps.Jerry and Kelly Powell, with Halo, Nash, Reid, Cleo, Rosie, and the two newest additions Shaggy and Bella..

The Nicolls, 2021 imagine 2600rb, So my manual says nothing about switch position. ne side has a single line the middle is off and the other side has two lines. So which is which?

Our 2020 doesn’t have a switch that I can find. I put tape over the front half so that it doesn’t come on when going from bedroom to bathroom. Does come on when you closers to the steps. Would turn it off, if we could.Doug & Barb

No, we don’t pull the Solitude, it’s permanently parked on our campsite in SW Fla.

If your is like mine in our 390, there is no adjustment or on/off switch. As was (almost) suggested earlier, I would consider tape over the light, or maybe the sensor. The nuclear option would be removing the light and giving it a vasectomy.Jerry and Kelly Powell, with Halo, Nash, Reid, Cleo, Rosie, and the two newest additions Shaggy and Bella..

Thanks Country Camper, We figured it out by sitting and being patient while we tried the two positions. Funny there is no mention in the owners manual though. The Aussie thinks it is cool to be announced by the light turning on. Thanks again.flyfshrockies, 2021 imagine 2600RB, Ford F-150, XLT supper crew 3.5 eco boost with max tow.

Once you determine which switch position is which, do what we did. We took a Sharpie and put a dot next to the motion side of the switch.2020 F-250 Lariat 2WD SuperCrew 6.7L, Blue Ox SwayPro hitch w/ 1000lb bars

One reason the light may be coming on is it's being tripped by a slight change in voltage when something is using power (thermostat calling for power, furnace or refrigerator turning on, other minor power draw). Since the light sensor is sensitive to movement and is always on, it may be interpreting a very slight change in voltage as motion. We've had that sort of issue with a motion sensitive light outside our storage shed at home. When it was first wired up, it would turn on every time the AC on the heat pump (located on other side of the house) would turn on. I was able to trace it back to a very slightly loose screw on the back of a breaker. A friend, who is an electrician, tightened up all the connections and the issue went away. He said he had seen this once or twice before.2020 F-250 Lariat 2WD SuperCrew 6.7L, Blue Ox SwayPro hitch w/ 1000lb bars
