An outdoor photocell controlled light fixture does not power a good light bulb. Meter shows 120Vac at the bulb contacts during daytime, but installed bulb doesn't light (day or night).
The fixture worked OK for several years, then went dark. Is this a sensor issue, or must the whole fixture be replaced?

thanks,

Either burned out light bulb or poor connection in the light socket.
