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.

It worked ok when used. But looks of poor quality

Would Not Recommend

It looks poorly soldered and it rattles on the aluminum part. Gives the impression that it wont last longer than a day.

FAIL

Would Not Recommend

Wish I’d read the reviews before buying. I get constant light, should be off in the middle of day. Tested on multiple fixtures, indoor and out. Does the PC in the model number refer to Piece of Crap?

A total ripoff

Would Not Recommend

This product is the worst. It stays lit during daylight, and flickers at night (even after I installed the protective shield, as instructed). I purchased 7 units and NONE of them worked!

Did not work

Would Not Recommend

There were small pieces of black tubing in the package but no mention of them in the instructions and I could not get them to fit into the sensor hole where I suspected they belonged. Worked well the first night but on the second night they were off at night and when touching them they came on but went off shortly thereafter. I returned them for a refund.

Check for opened items.

Would Recommend

Not apparent that the little plastic parts had to be added to device for proper function. In the store every package had been opened and the plastic parts were removed from 2 of the 3 items in stock. I was not sure if I needed the inserts at that time but I took the one that had them.
