Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Convenient but did not last Comment: I bought four of these about a year ago. Only two of them are still working. They detect motion well, but don't work with fluorescents. Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous Light Technician Comment: "Aziz, light! ... Thank You Aziz." is the line from The Fifth Element I'm reminded of when I open my basement door after parking in my garage, and the lights automatically go on. Now I just head upstairs without having to switch anything on or off! I had thought of wiring a 2 way switch, but would have had to run extra wiring etc.. This is so much easier.
The big plus is that now I don't even have to flip a switch, which is SO CONVENIENT if you have things in both hands and are already struggling with the door. Yes it does stay on for 4 minutes before turning itself off; surely we have, at times, unintentionally left lights on for much longer, so it's still a plus. Excellent product!!!
Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the money Comment: Long delay time before turning the light on. Not sensitive enough. Doesn't work well with non-incandescent bulbs. No adjustment of the "time ON" (with no motion). It does look good though. Cannot use it where I wanted because of the long delay time. Customer Rating: Summary: No electrician needed Comment: My wife has been wanting me to remove the pull string switch from our closet light for years, and install a wall switch. Not so easy when you have to go up in the attic to do the work. This is the perfect product. I've removed the pull string, screwed in the the motion sensor, and now we're both happy. The light comes on when we open the closet door, and it goes out in four minutes after we close the door to the closet. I'd like it to go out in 1 minute, but that's a minor complaint. Customer Rating: Summary: Saving $$$ Comment: I've had these motion sensor light sockets in three locations in my house for a couple of years now. I recently purchased some additional ones for myself and family members. They work wonderfully and I recommend them highly. Note, however, that CFL's don't seem to work well with this product.
