How to cover up motion sensor in dressing area to stop light

[remydiva]

Hi

on Ruby ..I know why the motion sensed light is located by bathroom but last nite ours kept coming on and staying on even tho calm seas and no doors were opening or anyone near them.

i have masking taped up the sticking out bulb.. is that enough to stop it as this one appears faulty .. don’t want to have to fuss with maintenance needing to access our room is this might work.

thoughts or other suggestions?

You must call maintenance.

It needs replacing if it is faulty.

May just be loose.  Tell yr cabin steward.

The light sensor is the small protruding "knob" located on the side of the fixture. That is what must be covered up.

Faulty electrical, you shouldn't have to DIY on your vacation.

Painters tape

First thing we do is cover that little sensor with duct tape....it is so annoying....

Don't use duct tape. It leaves residue.

 

Use painters tape.

I reported to steward .. he agreed a sensor problem 

I said I don’t care if it stays off .. I do care when it stays ON for hours in middle of nite 

hopefully maintenance looked at today while we were out

Never had that problem......I carry duct tape wherever I go.

When painters tape did not make it turn off I figured it was a faulty sensor. Maintenance must have fixed it as last nite it worked fine… on for brief time when needed then off quickly. 
THAT I can live with.
