Not sure but you might be able to put tape over the Blue/Green LED's cause I think the motion sensor is above that. Think the LEDS are just indicators that it's on.

Your exactly right Dave, I did take a look and it appears like I can black out the light with no effect on the sensor....................................been to lazy so far........thanks

I put one of these on my van last November, so far I love it.
You can override the motion sensor by simply turning it off. Mine is operationaly wired as...., switch it on and it simply turns constant on, turn it back off and then on again in rapid sucsession, is what triggers it into the motion detector mode. On the right side of the unit there are led indicators "they flash green blue or red" they function as a battery voltage indicator. If left on or in in motion detector mode there is a flashing led indicator light at the right side of the light housing. If the battery voltage drops to a low level, the led indicator light flashes red and will automaticaly shut the light off. at night if all is okay it flashes green, during the day time the indicator led flashes blue to let you know that the unit is armed and ready but will not turn on the light. If at any time while on the battery voltage level drops to low, the unit automaticaly shuts itself off and the indicator light flashes red.
As noted by some the indicator led is very bright and can be annoying, I was gonna try some tinted tape over mine, but as of yet haven`t done it yet. I don`t remember at what voltage the light shuts it self off and flashes the red led but its probaly available on the their website.
When I purchased mine it came with a standard bulb and I replaced the bulb with the bigger revolution 350 bulb and its plenty bright for tasking.
