You nailed it google man had 4 fixtures with these installed or I should say 3 because one had been jumpered. Caught my attention with the IR two were reading 212 degrees and one was cool to the touch one had black tar oozing from it. The sensors were hotter than the fixture and they had been on for several hours.
