    Replace battery on outdoor lights

    I had an outdoor light fitted in 2017 by electrician, the light would come on in the dark when dog went out into garden. This no longer works, does it have battery/batteries that need changing? It consists of the light that comes on, below that is the small motor sensor and right at the top there is a little white box. Is this where battery is? How do I fix it?
