motion sensor solar security light

Problems with motion sensor lights?
Hiya
A few days ago, my parents bought a set of motion sensor ligths for nighttime. They have Infra red sensors so they only go off if something moves in front of them. Anyway,they were timed so that the light only lasts 30 seconds after activation....after tonight, I noticed that one stayed on ALL THE TIME even there HAS BEEN NO MOVEMENT near it and only went off because the battery wore down. The second goes off for only 15 seconds every 5 minutes or so. Anyone can walk in front of it and it doesn't go off until 6 minutes after the light knocked off. I'm a bit lost about what has gone wrong.
Here is a page showing the item that was bought:

Has anyone else bought this product and had the same problems? If so, how did you fix them?
Thanks

Outdoor Lighting
The exterior lighting of homes has become increasingly popular in recent decades by a number of reasons. For starters, it's much more convenient and reliable then ever was before and there is a growing range of options to select. Motion and heat sensors for lighting security outside a house has become more reliable as it has also become more sensitive and less likely to be caused by animals such as dogs and cats.
Small systems with solar lighting low voltage are also readily available that can be quickly be installed by an owner with a few simple tools. A major advantage of these systems is that there must be a primary energy source ran to the fuse box of the house, making them ideal for lighting situations that are within the main residence.
The first thing has to be done before the lighting real outer perimeter is installed in any home is a sensitive lighting plan must be created. While it is easy to install only a few lights High power around a home, these lights can be unpleasant to be illuminated. Therefore, some research is necessary to familiarize oneself with the different types of outdoor lighting available in the market, especially if the purpose is to light a patio area for entertaining at night.
For example, if landscaping the yard of a house, not only lighting will be used to provide light for people in the backyard, but also lighting required to illuminate the landscaping for a more pleasing effect. Also making the lighting suitable and easy to use is important, so you do not have to walk inside and outside the waving home switches on and off to achieve a desired light effect when the lighting is being used.
