Hi neighbors. The lights on your Floodlight Cam should come on when motion is detected as long as it is dark enough outside. Even if the sun has not fully set, if it is dark enough around the Camera, the lights will come on with motion detection. As for [Light Schedules](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058421812-How-to-Use-Security-Camera-Light-Schedules-), these can be set at the device level as well as at the [Light Group](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024055772-Grouping-Multiple-Smart-Lights-in-the-Ring-App) level. If you experience any problems with your Light Schedules, try removing them at both the device level and the group level so you can start fresh. If you use [Alexa Routines](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031606811-Creating-a-Routine-with-Alexa-and-your-Ring-Device-), make sure you do not have any Routines that may conflict with the Light Schedule in your Ring app. Should you have persistent concerns with your Light Schedules or the lights on your Floodlight Cam not working correctly, it may require a more in-depth look from our support team to narrow down the cause. Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).

In the setting for your lights there is a Light schedule, may try adjusting it. You can set specify times or say dusk to dawn.

If I set them, they will stay on the entire time of the setting. I only want them to turn on when there is motion in darkness, not daylight.

I have the same exact problem and nothing anyone said will fix the issue. I’m super unhappy that I bought the expensive wired one if it will come on during the day. I only need it at night time! ?

Hello If you have more tan one flood light camera and you linked them go into linked devices tab. Once there click on the light that is linked to the camera that is turning on. Once there you can adjust the time period that the lights that are linked turn on. You have to adjust this as we progress through the seasons spring into summer for me in Ohio the turn on time will actually be 9pm because we are on the most western part of the eastern time zone. Of course in the fall it needs to be turned back to 5pm. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I totally forgot about this setting. It'd be nice if this would support setting it from dusk to dawn instead of just static times.

Thank you. I wanted to set a schedule for my lights motion sensor. This solved it.

It seems to be a defect in my flood light. I have two others and they do not come on during daylight hours. If it is a defect please confirm so I can replace it. I have tried all suggested fixes and none work.
