What Customers Are Saying

The motion sensor has adjustable settings for distance and time, and many customers found it to be a good replacement for their old sensors. However, the sensor's range and sensitivity can be limited, with some customers reporting it only detects motion within a short distance. Reliability and durability also seem to be concerns, with many customers reporting the sensor stopped working properly after a few weeks or months of use. There are also compatibility issues with certain types of lighting, and the weatherproofing may degrade over time, leading to malfunctions in extreme weather conditions.

Won't turn off at night, just dims!

Would Not Recommend

Do not buy this if you expect it to turn off after the timer setting! I do not want or need it to stay on all night! I feel snookered as this fact is not on the outside of the box; I expected otherwise.

Disappointing and Frustrating!

Would Not Recommend

Utiliech contradicts itself. Works with LED but "must be dimmable. What outdoor light is dimmable?!!! They come on they go off. Just like a light switch!! Utilitech needs to fix their product!! Don't buy this!! I spent $120 on beautiful stainless lights for my house. Which I can't return now because I am past Lowes "deadline" Now it looks like I am trying to guide airplanes up my driveway!!

Good universal replacement.

Would Recommend

Straight forward replacement. Just follow the directions. Has better angle/tilt adjustment then my old one which made it easier to set up the best coverage angle.

Motion sensor with options

Would Recommend

Very easy to replace my sensor that got zapped during a lightning storm. This one has options for length of time and dusk to dawn.

Great replacement option versus buying new fixture

Would Recommend

I thought I was going to have to buy a whole new fixture. My floodlights would start to time off then immediately come back on, ad infinitum. Neighbors not pleased. Being able to just rewire in a new sensor is great.

Great Motion Sensor with built in Photocell

Would Recommend

This motion sensor also has a built in photocell which makes sure the lights don't operate during daylight hours. I'm using this motion sensor under a newly constructed carport roof. This sensor is located roughly 1/3 into the carport mounted where there used to be a light fixture which was mounted by the door but now removed and replaced by this motion sensor. It's controlling 5 recessed lights above. This was the only sensor I could find which actually has the photocell mounted in the front a...

Great Product.

I replaced a faulty sensor with this unit. This one has great range and is better than the sensor it initially had in it. Very good product. Highly recommended.

Very inconsistent

Would Not Recommend

Fit great, very simple installation. Just seems very inconsistent in what causes It to come on and how long It stays on.

Works great

Would Recommend

I was surprised at how much this cost, for a few dollars more, could have gotten a cheap complete light assembly. Glad I got this one, it has great sensitively and a wide range.
