Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech White Motion sensor/dusk-to-dawn light control

Does not work

I purchased two of these and also changed the bulb multiple times. It always did one of two things 1.) It either would not turn off for several hours. 2.) It would turn off and would not turn back on no matter how much motion it detected. I tried several different bulbs, and none of them worked all were CFL but the package states it works with CFL bulbs. I would not recommend this product for any application where having light is important.

works well for two months

I bought one for my cellar so that when we came in from the garage the light would go on. It worked well for 2 months then blew the light bulb and the unit stop working. I did not know at the time that they are good for five years. I went back to Lowes and bought a new one this one lasted 2 1/2 months and the same thing happen. I am on my way to Lowes to return both of them.

It's ok.

360-degree may be a little generous based on my experience. Also seems to work better if the motion is higher up. Also shuts off when motion should have been detected

terrible

This product is terrible. It does not turn on automatically when you want it to, but clicks on randomly when there is no motion in the area. It also does not turn off after the designated 10 minute timer. Do not buy it!

Does not Work in outside porch entry.

Used on an outside hanging light with both CFL and regular bulb. Does not go on when persons approach. Does work when sensor moved right next to it. I need to return it.

Not what it seems

This is a motion detector that doesn't shut off. It is very expensive and non functioning

turns right on

I'm not sure what happened to all these other people with issues, but I had real concerns reading the other reviews. I purchased 2 of these in my garage. They are screwed into a light socket over each car. I have 2 entrances at opposite corners of the garage. I made sure that I used a correct bulb(I'm using the 23 watt CFL which are a 100 watt incandescent replacement). I also made sure that I pointed one of the 3 sensor locations directly at the door where I come in, and I made sure they are sc...

I got a lemon....

It is defective. It doesn't shut off -ever! I will return it.

placed in a light fixture about 7 feet off floor and it did not work. placed a lamp down about eye level and it worked fine that was a little disappointing since the lamp i added is now somewhat in the way

No use in small spaces

I had to get on a step ladder to activate the switch, will be returning it to the store. Useless......

Lamp does not automatically turn on

The bulb was installed in an open garage ceiling lamp. It does not turn on with any motion, person or auto. It was installed according to directions. I returned it for credit

Handy motion sensor

Works great when I go down into my basement. I use a LED bulb and it works well. My only complaint is I wish it would turn off after 5 minutes instead of 10.

360-Degree licht control

The 360-Degree Indoor Motion-Activated Light Control never worked properly. There may have been too much stuff around for the control to work. I took it out and am not using it at this time.

Does not work properly and it cost too much. I can't bring them back because I have used them too long already. Very disappointed. I bought them because I work nights and didn't want to leave the lights on all the time.

Finally, for outside laundry room

I've been waiting for this device for 20 years. If you have a pull-light outside in the laundry room, or an outside shed, this is the device for you. No more leaving the light on all night long attracting bugs or wasting electricity. The motion detector light turns off after 10 minutes, period. You will have to pull the light cord twice to turn it back on after it has timed off, but that is a tiny difficulty.

Stop

Auto off worked well. Motion on did not activate out of the package. Returned promptly for refund.

Don't waste your time with this.

This product works very poorly if at all. We returned it back to Lowes and purchased a First Alert unit for $20.00 on line from Wal Mart and had it delivered to a store near us for pick-up. We have had it in our garage for 3 months and it works well, not like this one from Lowes.

Interior room motion sensor for walk-in closet

I've purchased two of these now. The first was temperamental as it would work most of the time. There were times I would have to wave my arms for a few seconds to get it to come on, then it just seemed to stop detecting any movement. The second one hasn't worked but one time. Very disappointed.

Does not work

I should have gotten a clue when the only two units on the shelf were already opened. The unit I purchased does not work. Light turns on when the power is cycled. After the unit times out the only way to get the unit to come back on is to cycle the power again. Thus, defeating the purpose for the unit. I even waved a lit lighter two feet from the unit - would not trigger the ir sensor.
