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.

I found out after buying that there are lightbulbs alone that perform this function. Also acts a bit screwy with the on/off.

Thank you Candy. Yes, if the dusk to dawn light cotrol adapter is not compatible, the dusk to dawn bulbs are a great choice.

DON’T BUY,!!!

Would Not Recommend

This product DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. It goes off and on, off and on and off and on. Should have read others reviews before purchasing. Others have had the same problem. Would return but do not have the receipt.

Failed to recognize darkness

Would Not Recommend

Produce fails to turn on / off as advertised. Even in complete darkness, product failed most of the time to turn on.

Not useful for the intended application

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this device to control my porch light and it doesn't do that. The light is on. covered porch with plenty of exposure to daylight. Apparently the device isn't sensitive enough to shut offf the light during the day. It stays on 24 hours/day. There may be something else going on that I'm not seeing.

These dont work, bought 2

Would Not Recommend

suppose to be easy. screw it in, like the directions say, screw the light bulb in after, and if its dark enough, the bulb should light up. Its not suppose to light up with the sun pointing directly at the house. Cant even test it by putting the finger over the sensor, because the light is already on in the sun. This is junk. Such a simple concept and its junk. Dont buy this.

Waste of time & money.

I saw the negative reviews but figured it had to be a bad manufacturing run, and Lowes would send them back to the manufacturer. Nope. The thing really is as bad as the other reviews say. It is so sensitive that when the house across the street turns their porch light on, this turns off. If I turn the sensor to the right, it turns off when I turn my porch light on. If I turn the sensor to the left, it turns the light off it that neighbor turns their porch or garage lights on. If I turn th...
