Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the sensor's straightforward installation and reliable performance as a direct replacement for failed units, with many noting improved angle adjustments and seamless operation with incandescent and dimmable LED bulbs. However, a significant portion report critical compatibility issues with standard LED bulbs, experiencing flickering or complete failure. Several also note the actual motion detection range falls short of advertised specifications, activating only within 10-15 feet rather than the claimed 70-75 feet. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a worthwhile replacement for aging sensors.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Short Lived
Would Not RecommendIt worked great for 9 months then just died! I am not happy with this sensor as it wasn't the least expensive and didn't make it to the 1 year mark - which still would have sucked!
This product has problems.
Would Not RecommendProduct fails more often than it works. I've replaced most of them at least once soon after installation. They work briefly and then fail. Im guessing it's the switch inside because often you can see the blue PIR go on but the light attached does not come on.
