If you wired the fixture correctly, the problem is almost certain to be a faulty photo cell. I don't think pointing the cell to the north makes any real difference in the operation of your light. Best advice is to exchange the unit for a new one.
Good luck with your problem.

Photo cell could be faulty, call the company tomorrow or see if they have a site on line... or if your weather is like ours it could be because it has been overcast and cloudy. shine a flash light on the photo cell and see if the light goes out, if it don't it is probably the photo cell. Good luck

Call the factory and do not delay it sounds like it will drain the light bill.
