Would this work in a dark basement?

I have mine in a basement laundry room. I would otherwise have to enter the dark area and cross the room to hit the light switch. When I open the door to the stairs going into the basement, I believe it is the light that floods in that is activating the sensor. It works for me.

I have installed in basement ceiling bare socket with Phillips LED lamp and it works perfectly when I or the dog enter the area.

Yes works fine in a fully dark basement. You may have to wave your arm to get it to activate, but that would be because my sensor is between other things and has a small angle to pick up motion.

Absolutely. I am using it in a dark basement room and it picks up motion very well.

This motion sensing light with a 100 watt bulb will detect any motion. Since my light ficture was put in the wall by the builder it is 1 foot down from the ceiling on the wall and faces outward. The unit works as I walk into the room from my Kitchen. You will not have any trouble putting into the socket and then put in the light bulb. You will notice on the socket how to place it to let it detect any thing 360 degrees. Mine lasted over 10 years or better before it went out. This one is brand new and I think it will last until I die..I am 82

If you attach it to a socket where a wave of a hand or the passage of the person aligned with the sensor on the device...

YES. It is perfect for that situation as long as you cross the sensor's field of view, the light will turn on.

no the light is very dim, even two will not be sufficient especially if it is a work space.

It depends on how much moisture you have, but I am using it in a basement room about this size. It works well there.

this camera works in lighted places but in total darkness you will not be able to see anything, but you can try to use it with an Infared light as you know the infared will not emit any visible light but the camera will see it and I think you'll be happy with the results, I hope my humble opinion helps you and Happy hunting.

Sorry, I use mine in the basement as well. It would be about like running an air conditioner.

it should, but I use mine in a small make shift room (bedroom) so there is a enough light bouncing to trigger it. not sure if it will work in a large room (garage) or studio.

No - I don't believe it would be bright enough. This requires the room to be very dark.

I have mine hanging in the basement, so definitely fine for inside. We have it connected to a ceiling beam in the basement. I suggest a good 4ft radius around it. If I had the room in a bedroom, it think I would have no problems with having it there. It would probably get a lot more use!

it is sufficient light for under a counter or a closet but i do not think you would want it as a basement light.

sorry i do not know.my tv is near a window and the antenna is perched on the sill and gets good reception. i cant say how well it would work in a basement.

We Don't have a basement but I have very long house and it's on the opposite ends and it works great. Hope this helps

I think it depends on the surfaces. The legs of one of my tables and my bookshelves glowed in low light. Depending on the surface (carpeting and walls, for example) might need total darkness.

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

Yes, I think it would work fine. It can be dimmed so you must test but should be fine.

I would agree with the previous responder. It only works in darkness but does work well

No! It only works well in a very darkened room with very little background light. It just does not put out enough lumens for lighted room use.

I doubt it would. It doesn't really put off that much light even when directly facing a light wall.
