Does it have a photocell that causes the light to not work in a lit room? Trying to find something like this WITHOUT a photocell....

motion detector works fantastic in my 24 gun safe mine is an ELITE STACK-ON if your safe is bigger I would get two made my safe look like it cost a lot more for those that don't know I did not screw in instead I used the Velcro that came with it. it also comes with screws. I just peeled and stuck on the ceiling of safe you cant even see it, but as soon as the door opens the light goes on don't forget batteries. good luck John

The photocell is located on the side of the light fixture. On the web site picture is it located on the bottom of the wire housing. I have mine mounted horizontally under my soffit so my sensor is positioned on the side facing outward away from the house.

No, it is lit only when the switch is off, so you can find it in a dark room.

In my case, we needed temporary light at a lectern without electrical access. It worked fine for us for that purpose. Perhaps others interested in art illumination are more concerned with price than "true light."

Yes! I use an LED light that I have and I have no problems with it at all! Works just fine for me!

General light in a room is all it needs to power up. It doesn't need direct sunlight

it is a sealed watertight fixture. you would have to drill into the fixture to install photocell on light. i replaced my 200 watt sodium fixture w photocell. with 2 of these 10 watt fixtures. 4 months plugged directly into an outlet no timer no photo cell. honestly, at 10 watts each, i am not sweating the expense of keeping these plugged in all the time. other that a photo cell you might want to plug in a timer into the outlet to give you pretty much the same option as a photo cell would. good luck

mine did not come with a light. I'm not really sure if it was supposed to or not. But I love the table anyway!

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

leave the photocell alone. you will only use the light at night or at dusk and when you need the photocell to work. say you want to leave you turn on your light and the photocell will turn on the light when it gets dark outside. no more coming home to a dark home. then you turn off the light with the switch saving money. hope this helps

Its a photocell. Basically switches on your device mostly lights automatically at night.The product did not work in my case though and I returned it.

This model does not include led light, but if you add one it would have a separate energy plug :)

Most photocell and many remote switched outlets actually do NOT work with LED or CFL. Has anyone actually used this with LED lights personally?

No, it does NOT and it's a pain in the neck after having a unit that did have a light in it. I have to turn on the overhead kitchen lights to see inside. Would not buy this unit again.

This one does not. I'll be surprised if you find one that does. Having a fixed beam of light cancels out the effects of the strobe. So it would be kind of pointless. I hope I'm wrong though and you find what you're looking for!

I'm not too sure. I'm just using the light with the photocell. I suppose you can cover the photocell with some dark tape allowing the light to be continuously on and operate it via a switch.

Yes, I have. I ordered 2 of these. one is OK. On the second one, the light does not turn off. returning.
