I'm looking for a motion sensor to operate two 40 watt lights in a shower unit with batteries and solar power do you think this will do the job ?

I don't think so, this unit only work for 12V outcome. So I guess your lights use 120V.

Sure. Just cover the light sensor with a piece of tape or something that blocks light and they will be 100% motion sensing.

I have one of these sensors connected to a dual floodlight mounted above and between the doors of my two-car garage and it works fine to illuminate the short double-wide driveway leading from the street to the garage. I'm not sure how it would with your decorative lighting as it is intended to screw into the mount for the dual floodlight unit; but I'd bet a qualified electrician could connect some wiring (possibly through a conduit) to another lamp away from thedual floodlight unit it's intended for.Steven S

Yes. You'll have to afix an external photovoltaic sensor. They're cheap. About ten dollars.

Bruce, If I were wiring it up an did not want it to come on during the day you could do a couple things. 1. Switch to a standard motion sensor used on fixtures such as those over residential garage doors they are motion only when dark and run less than $20. 2. If you do need this style of motion sensor for your application put a photo cell in series before the sensor and fixture so the motion sensor and fixture only get power to operate when dark that fix could be done for about $15. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

I think that is no problem. I used with motion sensor it works perfectly. this is just extension that is not effect to switch nor light bulb functional.

I use it with a lamp with an 8 watt led bulb in my daughter's room. I have it linked to a motion sensor that brings it up to 15% when motion is detected and then fades out over 3 minutes once the motion sensor detects no motion for 2 minutes. It works great for this application. As I use an 8 watt led at 15% I think it would be safe to assume a 6 watt bulb would work. Hope this helps!For reference this is the link to the bulb I use:Philips 433201 40 Watt Equivalent SlimStyle A19 LED Light Bulb Soft White, Dimmable

Yes, it should, as long as the power supply is rated for 120 Volts/60 Hertz. This occupancy sensor has a relay switch which completely turns off the power in the off state. Unlike electronic switches, there is no leaking current that could cause fluorescent or LED lights to light up dimly.

Yes. I have done exactly that by replacing the two flood light fixtures (on a standard motion sensor light kit) with two of these LEDs. It works perfectly. Just pay Attention to the wiring!! and do one side at a time. :)When motion sensors trigger they simply send 120v (in USA) to the existing flood light sockets so that the bulbs light up.These particular LEDs can handle anywhere from 80v all the way up to 240v if I recall correctly.So make sure you hook them up on the two wires going directly to the old socket connectors and you will be fine.

It will work well for that application. The sensor senses motion out as far as thirty feet at our house, so the lights should come on as you approach the garage. I suspect that being mounted a bit higher gives them greater range. We have been quite pleased with this unit.

Yes, it would work fine. The sensor is located in the post and below the light fixture. The frosted glass therefore will not affect the sensor's ability to detect motion. It can be set to come on at dusk for the amount of time you set. It works perfectly and mine is one of the best purchases I have made.

Its a very nice idea, but I think the only way would be installing a seperate motion senser and then tie it into the wires that power the light. Such that the lightswitch is always on, but the light only comes on via the motion sensor.

No. This switch is intended as a low-voltage, low-current alarm sensor. I can't tell you the exact limitations, but the wires coming out of the switch are extremely small. Be sure whatever switch you eventually use is explicitly rated 120/240 VAC and has a power (wattage or amperage) rating that exceeds whatever load (light?) that will be powered. In fact, I would recommend that you also use an in-line fuse, rated to the switch, if there is any chance that someone will put in a bigger bulb than you intended.

Yes, it should work just fine for that. I use one to control a water fountain pump, and another to control some outdoor lights.

I installed similar sensors for my back door lights that use cfl bulbs that work. So I would assume it should work with this sensor.

Not sure but I think they will as long as they have the same base. Now some of the fluroscent bulbs don't always work well with motion sensor lights. The led may be better. But I think you will still be able to get the others for quite some time. Just buy you about twenty bulbs. I've had the same ones in mine for over two years...of course they're only set as night motion sensor lights.

That will be a good idea or if the place you want to place it has a lot of sun light, is better to use this ones: Frostfire 16 Bright LED Wireless Solar Powered Motion Sensor Light (Weatherproof, no batteries required) Just install it and forget it. They are cheaper on ebay. But be sure that says (motion sensor) because there are a cheaper one that are (sound sensor).
