Doesn't Measure Up

Reviewed: 07/21/2020 by Ed Manganiello

Installed Sensing Light in ceiling of a 10 x 6 room, and I had to walk around before it lit up. Tried another Light same problem, just a different spot in the room. Barely acceptable, and only because its in an infrequently used basement room.

These work great for the purpose we purchased. 360 degree sensors are great for multiple entry points.

Great product... Works during the day also, unlike the last piece of junk I had there, where it barely worked in the dark. Thanks

Love them

These work great for both lights in my garage. They go on in the garage when we open the door and pull in or just when I walk in to take the trash out. This new model now works with energy efficient bulbs which are great!

Great Motion Sensors for CFL Bulbs

Reviewed: 10/03/2013 by Central

I recently purchased 2 of these motion sensors for use in our office. They work perfectly and it is great that they are compatible with CFL bulbs. I would buy them again for sure.

Use limited.

I got one of these because we are always forgetting to turn off the walk in closet light. Unfortunately it only works well in an overhead verticle orientation in a bare fixture like the one in the picture. Good idea anway. Little pricey.

Excellent - tried another brand sold at Home Depot and it did not have the range of First Alert. I had First Alert initially and it worked well for several years - cant remember when I first put it in.

magic light socket

This thing works like magic. I use in my garage and basement. The light is on as soon as Im inside and goes off shortly after I leave. No searching for the switch and, if Im carrying packages, laundry or whatever, I have light all the way upstairs or out and dont have to go back to turn it off? Lumos!

Good for grandkids as no longer have to get up so many times to turn lights on and off for them. The additional value of being able to use eco-friendly bulbs is great. Thank you

This is my second purchase of a motion-sensing socket. I put it in the light over my stove and it is very handy to have a light come on I am able to leave my overhead kitchen light off much more. THis purchase is for my daughter for the fixture at the foot of her basement stairs she likes to leave a light on for her dogs, so this will save energy for her as well.
