After one week, so far so good, but sheesh
Would Recommend- Some of the wires are inches shorter than the others. Why? - The lug on the ground wire is too small for a 10-32 screw, which is now the common size. - The ground wire is not needed for the unit to function. But it is attached to a metal plate which serves as a heat sink for a control transistor, so it should be grounded for safety if there should ever be an internal short of power to the metal plate. - You might find it easier to install if you add an electrical box extender, with the lamp h...
Warning Misleading description
Would Not RecommendSays it works with virtually any bulb but does not non-dimmable LED! Implies you can turn off the low brightness mode, but you can not. When set to detect motion, it stays in low brightness mode causing non-dimmable LEDs to blink. Also made with substandard 18 gauge wires. I would not trust this if you are using high wattage incandescent bulbs.

Check the box to make sure unit is complete
Would Not RecommendProduct was a returned item. Two of the wires of the unit had been cut off inches short. That made it hard to make connections. Sensing range was not reliable. Probably why it was returned. Elderly lady said that was okay because it was a 50 mi round trip to the nearest Lowe's.

Not sure about the quality or return policy
Would Not RecommendI had purchased one of these Utilitech Bronze Replacement Motion Sensors in November 2022. It worked well until it didn't! In February 2023, the sensor started flashing the lights both day and night an no attempts to reset it or adjust the settings seemed to work. I attempted to return it under warranty to Lowes, but was told they would only take returns in store for 90 days. Called Utilitech as the paperwork that came with the sensor said it was warranted for 2 years... Utilitech said ...

Instructions
Would RecommendI give this 3 stars. I would give it a higher rating but the operating instructions are very difficult to read and understand. There are instructions in 3 different languages, I think. There are instructions with "NO" punctuation to separate one language from the other. It goes from English to French to Spanish. Then back to English, French and Spanish and on and on. It would be nice if the instructions were written in English ad after all of the English instructions it would move on to French, ...
