I have a LED 80 watt yard light with a sold state circuit board bad capacitors

[sam_sam_sam]

This light got to where it would turn on when it felt like it ( photo cell controller board issue )

It has one 47uf@50 volts and one 10uf@50 volts double rating on the ESR reading ( non brand name capacitors )

Now every time I cover the photo cell and remove cover it turns on and turns off like it should

I will try to take a picture of the little board before I put it back together

I used to run through bags of these photo cells. These days I am way too busy to bother with them.

At first I thought it might have been the photo cell but when I saw this circuit and how it was setup I just replaced the capacitors first and see what happened next when it now respond to light and darkness I knew that what the problem was

I have torcher tested yard light for a week now and it has been running flawlessly so this has been a successful repair

I been using it with the photo in the dark then every once in awhile I shine a light on the photocell and shuts right off then remove the light from the photocell and turn right back on
