What Customers Are Saying

The product has a light sensor that frequently flickers, turns on and off erratically, or fails to properly turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn as intended. Many customers report the sensor being overly sensitive, causing the lights to cycle on and off constantly even in daylight. Several reviewers also mention poor build quality and difficulty contacting the manufacturer for support.

Seems to work as indicated (on at night, off during daylight) but turns itself off when someone approaches the light (just when I need to light on, it goes out). Also, there are 3 plastic tubes of varying length included with the device but there is no mention in the instructions of their purpose or how to use them. I believe they should be inserted in the opening for the photoelectric cell but since nothing in the instructions I don't know which one to use or why, when or if I should use them...

Poor Performance!

Would Not Recommend

Should have read all the reviews before I purchased. I purchased this to replace the one I purchased 20years ago. like all the reviewers before my failed the same way by turning on for a few minutes and then turning off for 3 minutes all night long. When I returned it I was asked why I returning it, and mentioned everything above. The clerk seem to understand that it was defective and handed it to someone. Being curious, I followed him and he placed on the shelf with all the others. So let'...

Flickers off and on

Would Not Recommend

It constantly turns off and on. No instructions for the tubes. But the tubes have no impact on operation regardless of size or position used. Does not work.

Thank you for your feedback, this could be because the photocell is being blacked and not in enough direct light....

Works Well; Inexpensive

Would Recommend

Needed something to prevent a motion activated light from coming on during the day. This was inexpensive and looked like it would work. It did. The lights now come on when they detect motion at night but not during the day.

Don't waste your time

Would Not Recommend

I wish I'd read these reviews while standing in line, I doubt I would have taken the chance. The device simply does not do what it's supposed to do. It does turn on, but it flickers on and off way too much. For the last two days, almost every time looked out the window or returned home the light would be off - and in a minute or two it would turn back on. Frustrating. Will be returning

expensive adapter

Would Not Recommend

While the sensor works there were no instructions with the unit on what to do with the three small tubes included. Finally found out what they are for in the photo asking for a review. Also I found that the unit was twice as expensive at another store.

instruction

Would Not Recommend

The instruction did not say what to do with the 3 little tubes. I put it back in the package to return, later a neighbor figured it out. The instruction were in the package but nothing about the 3 tubes. I still don't know which little tube I should use.

I photocell failure

Would Not Recommend

When used with a 14 or 11w bulb it never shuts odd in normal light or even if you shine an LED flashlight directly on the receptor cell. Had to destroy the wrapping to get it out so can't return it

not good results

Would Not Recommend

I tried about 4 or 5 different settings and directions for the lite tubes, etc. and could never get these to work correctly. they blink on and off all night long. even had a neighbor call me one night to check on us to see why the lights kept on blinking. thought we had a short and fire in the house. When i got a composite sensor-light all-in-one and checked out, i r3elayed to her my story and the cashier said she had the same results. she also ended up buying what i was getting and said it real...
