Will this bulb work with the dusk to dawn light? Will this bulb work with daylight sensors?

I have one in a motion controlled socket and it works fine there. No reason it shouldn't work in any on-off type controlled fixture.

I have not tried the dusk-to-dawn option. Only the motion sensor, and it works great for my purpose of lighting a woodshed.

Yes, this is a dusk to dawn light. If you read the description it will tell you this. (-;

Yes ad long you used incandescent bulbs Theae bulbs are the old fashioned bulbs. Please note this sensor will not work with the newer CFL or LED bulbs. And wiorks great like in a laundry room for example.

i had several dusk to dawn, utilitech lights that only lasted about 2 months i used housing and drilled a 3/4 inch hole and wired that up with same socket, has worked over a year now with one bulb

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.

My husband installed it and I remember him complaining about the sensor being only controlled by sunlight (dawn to dusk). So we ended up putting a programmable timer in the series and plugged that into the outlet. Involves some wiring but simple enough.

The bulb has a motion sensor, not a light sensor. I use mine in the laundry room so that when I come in carrying a full basket, I don't have to fumble for the light switch. It works day and/or night. For the outdoor post light, next to my driveway, I have a light sensor bulb (not from ChiChinLighting) that I leave on 24/7. It goes off at dawn and on at dusk. That's the type of bulb you want, unless you can find a light bulb with BOTH a motion sensor and light sensor so that it only comes on when it senses movement at night.

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

No, this is a motion sensing light meaning it turns on whenever it senses motion. It does not have any sensor related to if it is night or not. If you put it in a fixture that control whether it turned on if it was night or not it would likely work but the bulb itself is only motion sensor meaning it turns on with motion and turns off after around 60 seconds without motion.

Yes, it only works in the dark, dusk to dawn. I've had mine for several months and it works great.

Most likely. There may be some dusk/dawn controls that pass a small amount of current through the lamp, much the same way some electronic incandescent dimmers do, that don't work properly with CFL/LEDs. Not knowing what model the dusk/dawn control is, your best off trying it to see if it works. Only other concern would be whether your fixture has a shroud, and if the lamp will properly fit in it.

Yes I use these with LED bulbs. I have 8 dusk to dawn lights I purchased at Home Depot and they all came with GU24 bulbs. I think the GU 24 bulbs are the worst idea ever, what is wrong with the screw type base that has been around forever. I have been using these for a couple of years now and no problems yet. I'm buying 5 more for some new dusk to dawn lights I'm installing.

Yes, it will take the short CFC bulbs. Yes the motion sensor only works at night

I returned this bulb. The motion sensor did not work well. I bought these instead on Amazon....Viridi Motion Activated 8.1 Watt LED Bulb (2 Pack).I had them since March 2013. And they work great. The Viridi ones do not come on during the daytime. I installed them at my outdoor covered patio. But I noticed Amazon does not have them available right now.

Yes, this sensor will work with LED, CFL, and fluorescent bulbs because it uses a built-in mechanical relay to turn on the bulb. The relay makes it act like a regular switch as far as the bulb is concerned.
