Flooolight keeps turning on because of wind.

My outdoor motion-activate floodlight keeps turning on because of thewind. Every ten minutes sometimes. Every hour at other times. Isthis likely to lessen when it gets warmer?? (It's about 25 at night these days.) It has 3 settings for sensitivity, and it's set to low.Maybe the previous floodlight did this too -- do you think so? -- butI didn't know about it. This one has a radio-connected beeper in thehouse that beeps when the light goes on. (It would turn on a lamp tooif one were plugged int.This is the floodlight I can't reach with a ladder, but next time Ihave to lower it from the inside, can I make it less sensitive byputting tape over part of the the 1x2.5 inch window that looks formotion? Knowing that I won't be able to do this more often than eerytwo years or more, where would you put the tape, in the middle, at oneedge? How much of it would you cover?Thabks a lot.

There are sometimes some other reasons as well...there's a similar situation w/ a new industrial complex near here. Turns out the contract w/ the utility for constructing the additional service lines is tied into a use clause. Don't have the use, pay for the installation of the lines. The power costs are miniscule in comparison so they pay them.

When it is windy the geese, whose feathers have been ruthlessly stolen, get cold and have to move around to keep warm.

I'd laugh but it would be mean to laugh at the poor creatures.
