240-Degree Replacement Motion Detector, Adjustable Time & Detection Sensitiity Up to 60 Feet Range, 3 Working Modes Pir Motion Sensor for Security Floodlight, Brown, UL Listed

exact replacement cheaper than a new light

works good

Interesting flaw and fix. The motion detector only registered when it detected movement within a few feet no matter how it was set. It did see movement at the periphery quite well. I ended turning it 90 degrees and it works pretty well. Go figure.

This has been one of the most reliable motion sensors I have ever tested. It appears to be sold under several different brand names, they are all excellent. The rounded 240 degree sensor is an improvement over traditional 180 degree sensors, and the PIR based trigger has a low rate of false positives. This detects humans every time, but is not triggered by stray headlights from vehicles, wind, or other similar natural movement.I like using this type of standalone sensor because it can be wired up to multiple lights, and multiple motion sensors can trigger the same array of lights. I used 14/3 wire, where the hot is connected to the black input of the motion sensor, the red output of the motion sensor is connected to the hot input of each light and then also ran to additional lights as well as additional motion sensors. This allows for any of the motion sensors to trigger all lights on the circuit whenever any of them detect motion. It's a great setup for security and illuminating larger outdoor areas.My only complaint is that these can not handle much current. The say only 72 watts of LED lights or 300 watts of incandescent. This isn't much if you are running multiple lights, so larger light arrays will require a relay. This is unfortunate, I would love to find a motion sensor like this one that could handle the same load as 14 gauge wire, or around 1,400 watts at 120 volts. So far I haven't found anything like that, this is the best available for now.

This is the second one that will not work. The first one I installed lasted for about 3 months and then wouldn't shut off. I replaced that one with another, and it wouldn't shut off the first night it came on. They are made in China and are not worth buying. I wish Amazon would find products made in the USA for people to buy. This product is no good.

Having this up for a bit now. It seems to work pretty consistently. I’ve had it pick up my walking as far away as 50-60 feet. I wired it into a junction box with a plug to run a string of LED construction lights as motion lights.It’s working great.

Working great to replace old one that was not

I bought two of these to turn the lights on in my home shop (a 16 x 24 out building). I ended up having to wire in a bypass switch because the photoeye loses me and the lights go off. I am clearly in view of both eyes (wired in parallel), but it takes a fair amount of motion to keep them on. On the flip side, it seems like bugs activate it because the lights go on when no one is out there. The building is tight, so no vermin or birds can get in. Bugs or a defect are the only possible explanation for false triggers. There are occasional crickets and flying bugs, so that's my bet. I have played with the range and sensitivity but haven't hit a good compromise.
