   Your installation is not the problem. Either a  new light or design a circuit   
   that resets the power automatically.   
      
   I have had multiple sensor lights that would do that.   
      
   The light is probably designed to lock on if you turn it off and on   
   again quickly. So making sure the power stays off long enough would   
   disable that feature and do what he wants. Then, you would have to   
   disable the fix to keep the light on for Halloween.
