What Customers Are Saying

The dusk-to-dawn photocell socket product has mixed performance. Many customers report it works well, turning the light on at dusk and off at dawn as expected. However, a significant number have experienced issues, such as the light not turning off during the day, flickering, or not working at all. The quality and reliability seem inconsistent, with some customers getting a good working unit while others receive faulty ones. Overall, the product appears to be hit-or-miss, with the majority of reviews indicating it is unreliable and does not consistently perform as advertised.

Takes several minutes to adjust to ambient light.

Would Recommend

This dawn-to-dusk light socket adapter works and is easy to install but call toll free customer service first because not all info is listed on printed instruction included with the product.

JUNK

Would Not Recommend

Do not waste your time purchasing a known piece of junk that is proven by all the bad review. It doesn't shut off during the day like it's supposed to.
