Does this only turn the light on when dark? I want to have the lights work from dusk to dawn when the sensor detects motion.

Short answer....YES. I have four of these operating outside lights and found them easy to install and function well. One problem, night critters (cats, raccoons, etc.) will turn them on. I set up a night camera and found what was causing it. Hope this helps..P'Cola Bob

Yes, once the sensor knows it is dark - it becomes active. The unit stays off during daylight.

Yes- it has a light sensor that disables it from turning on the light during the day- except in test mode.

Yes. If you turn the light off manually it will not immediately respond to motion to turn it back on, but after a minute or so it will resume the motion sensor function.

Not sure what you mean here, when it's dark the light come on so if you want to check out whether it's working, Make sure it is charged then cover the light sensor so it can't detect daylight and the light should come on. If it doesn't check to make sure the switch is on, the light doesn't charge ot come on when the switch is off

The SL-4132MW is a Dusk to Dawn motion sensing light. It senses motion from dusk to dawn which activates the light to come on. It doesn't come on in the daylight because that's not what it is made for. Mine works perfect. Any time at night when the sensor detects movement the light will come on. Very good buy and great product for the money and is simple to install.

This only works for motion sensing--that is, it will only come on if it senses motion, not when it gets dark.

That is when it is set on dusk to dawn mode. Should turn on when dark off when light

There is a 3 way switch on the light which allows dusk to dawn or motion sensing. The answer is the light is capable of both functions. I had a hard time getting it to be a motion light. It took many tries but finally it worked. It should not have taken so many tries.

No, I don't believe it can be used for dusk to dawn lighting. Mine only comes on when motion is detected.

It has a light sensor in it. When it is daylight it does not come on. At night the motion sensor is great. The light is very bright, I use it in the entry of my garage to light the way. I would highly recommend it if a bright light is what you are looking for.

Mine is mounted to an outdoor entrance ceiling. The light does not turn on in daylight, it comes on with motion in the dark. It also has a timer you set for how long it will remain on after the motion detection leaves the detection zone. It also can be set up to favor a certain direction and distance of motion to turn the light on.

It will turn on when sensing both low light and motion. It will not turn on under day light. It will not stay on if there is no motion detected.

No it does not work like a motion sensor. It does have a light sensor so if the lights in the room are on the nightlight will turn off. The nightlight will also go off if the sensor is blocked by people walking by it. I would really like to find a nightlight that would only come on when you are near it.

You don't want this one then. This is a motion sensing switch that triggers when an object passes within the zone of the infrared sensor. You want a photocell, which triggers when there is a sufficient change in light. They are called dusk to dawn switches too.

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

Only comes on when there is motion, yes at dark. It stays on for 20 seconds. Very bright.

The sensor should cause the light to go on at dark and off in the am. I can only guess that there is a problem with the sensor.

This light is not activated by motion. My light is connected to a light sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at sunrise. The light can be connected directly to a switch to turn it on or off. Hope this helps.
