Stopped Working
Would Not RecommendPurchased on 12/7/2022 and it stopped working after 4 months. It is installed in a protected area. I have seen several reviews where premature failure has been reported. I have another photocell installed in a similar application that has been working for over 23 years. Perhaps TORK had a bad run on these. It happens!

water damage
Would Not RecommendRain got into it even though it was properly installed with the washer. Now the light stays on 24/7. I'm hoping the summer heat will evaporate the rain over time.

Works with corn led light
Would RecommendGutted my outside garage fixture. Add E39 Mogul base, 6500 k 65w. To E39 corn led light. Sensor did the job and function probably
Cheap for a reason apparently
Would Not RecommendI bought two of these so I wouldn't have to go back to the store. The first one went in, turned on during the day and went out. that night at dusk it didn't come on at all. I installed the other one and it seemed to work that night. The next morning it started blinking off and on. That's two pieces of crap and I still have to go buy another model.
