Please give more infor about the sensor: it's range? it's sensitivity? does it activate in daylight, or only at night? how long does it stay on? Thank

The motion sensor on the light I received works surprisingly well. The range or sensitivity is adjustable, as is the "on" time and photo sensor. I have mine set to activate dusk to dawn and the motion sensitivity is turned all the way up. The slightest movement of animals or even plants turn on the light. Oh and the motion sensor has very good peripheral vision...if you can see the sensor, it can see your motion. The light is kind of glaring and harsh on the eyes if you look directly at it. But it sure lights up my 100' x 50' yard and I'm still happy with the purchase. If the price comes down, I'll buy more of these.

The sensor is VERY sensitive. I have one mounted under the kitchen counter. I had to use black electrical tape to block about 95% of the sensor, to keep it from activating when getting near the counter. The tile back splash was reflecting my movements from a few feet away.

It is a dusk till dawn, motion sensing light. So the light will only turn on from the motion sensor when it gets dark out. You can override the motion sensor to force the light on by turning it off for 1 second and then back on. To put it back into the motion sensing state, turn it off again for 1 second and back on.

This is a daylight off, dark on, light controlled device. It only reacts to light and dark, motion has no bearing on its operation. You might want to purchase a motion controlled light that is also sensitive to light and dark. It will turn on at night if there is motion in its range of detection. It will not come on in daylight even if there is motion in its range of detection.

Definitely reflections from the light when turned on is triggering the sensor to go off. Example, if the light is under the eves of the roof or under an over hanging, the light will reflect off of that and sense daylight and go off. Point the sensor away from reflective light/towards the sky and it will work. Thanks. Sonny.

Just turns on with the motion sensor and turns off based on a setting you make on the rear of the unit.It also has a dawn to dusk setting. I have not tried that setting since I wanted the motion activation.

You would need to unplug it do de-activate it. The settings remain in the system. I unplug mine when the lawn service is here or if I'm out in the yard working. However, my earlier review would change to a degree. I've bought 4 of the sensors and two of them did not work right or either the base has bad circuits. False alarms, no alarm, etc. Two work really well, the other two have not been satisfactory. It's a pretty good basic system, no sophistication at all. Minimally does the job.

I think it is 15 seconds to 2 minutes range of "on" time whenever motion is detected. It stays on if there is continued motion in range of the sensor. It then reverts to the delay setting and shuts off after there is no longer motion.

It detects motion very quickly and even 20+ feet away if unobstructed. Once activated it stays on for a few minutes and will shut off if there is no further motion - it stays on as long as it keeps detecting motion. Having the sensor pointing down makes it more sensitive and effective. It's great for garages and porches, as well as closets and places you don't want to fiddle with finding the switch. I'm a big fan of these bulbs as are friends I've introduced to them.

I have had mine for a few mths. Haven't replaced the batteries yet. But I use mine for my chicken house so they are triggering it. The light sensor is still pretty good right now. Although I do also see a tad bit difference. Right now I still reccommend it. Enjoy yours.

the sensor is easy to install. just lead the wire along your dash and the window and out the door onto the the very corner of your window frame at bottom left. It is simply a sticker that you peal off, and once you stick the sensor on, it stays there good. Mine has never moved. you put it there on frame so that if you live in snowing country, it won't remove itself when you broom away the snow. I even do broom over it and has stayed through out first winter. the weather results are pretty accurate.

I guess the answer to that is no. You can set it to be on during the day or have the light sensor will keep it off in daylight. I don't think the motion sensor it will turn it off and on in daylight. I have mine set to be off in daylight and to come on for 5 minutes at night in response to motion. If you had reason to have it turn off and on in daylight, you would probably have to cover the light sensor.

It stays on whole time at 50% reduced brightness through out night time and when motion detected it brighten to full 100% brightness. It stays completely turned off during day time. It's all automatic. So far, it works pretty good past one & half month in use.

Pat, the light works with a motion defection sensor and has several time on settings. This is not a light that goes on dawn to dusk type. Settings vary from 1-15 minutes.I hope this helps you. I love this light.

It doesn't work at night. It doesn't work during the day, if you are asking whether it is repelling any animal friend. The animals simply ignore its red light sensor.

The light will not stay on continously once the motino sensor is tripped, unless its malfunctioning or running low on battery power. I found it says on for 30 seconds, then turn off regardless if you are in front of the sensor moving around. It will then to take about a full second before it will come on again if you move around the sensor.
