Wired spotlight cam lights activate during daylight hours

A couple of months ago, I began to notice my lights on the spotlight cams I have were turning on during the daytime. I have tried everything I could think of in the settings to stop this, as it uses electricity unnecessarily, and puts hours on my lights causing premature failure, eventually. I don't use the Mode Settings, and have deleted Mode and Light Schedules. I unlinked my devices from all other devices and from the Ring Chime I use to extend my network Wi-Fi. All the cams are set to use Motion Detection and Motion Alerts. I have set motion sensitivity to MAX. Smart Alerts are on and set to record only for person detection. I deleted the motion schedules for the cameras in an attempt to simplify things for them. In Device Settings, Light Settings, the MOTION-ACTIVATED LIGHTS mode is selected. Motion Zones in Lights is set to MAX, timer to 3 minutes. LIGHT BRIGHTNESS is set to MAX. I tried to stop the daylight activation of the lights by using Light Schedules. Didn't work, so I deleted them. I've had one phone conversation with a person who spoke English as a second language. They suggested some of the things I'd already done, but it hasn't stopped the problem, and now I feel like the options on my cameras that I paid to use, are unavailable to me. My Ring cameras have lost value in my opinion. In the Light Settings, at the Motion-Activated mode selection, it states that selecting this mode will "Turn on the lights when camera detects motion AT NIGHT (emphasis mine). Any suggestions?
