Ratings & Reviews for Utilitech 240 -Degree White Wire-in Replacement Motion sensor and light sensor

Won't work in the dark only in dusk

The sensor works perfectly at dusk. However at night in the dark it's completely blind - does not bring on the lights at alland the blue light does not come on showing it is working.

Exactly what I needed and easy to hook up.

Good price

Works great!

Eliminate new outdoor light fixture install

My existing outdoor light fixture required a controller replacement after many years of use. Absolute ease of installation, backward compatible, easy to implement instructions.

Seems well built

Instructions are difficult.

Causes lights to blink

It senses motion, then rapidly blinks and flashes lights, when they should be on steady. Using it to control LED lights I also just purchased at Lowes, item 3722939. I will be returning tomorrow. Very disappointed because of the cost of labor to replace is much more that cost of this item. https://photos.app.goo.gl/9jqreZnJJCxzWp8t8

FLASHES non-dimmable LED

It wasn't clear to me after reading the box, the instructions inside, and the website -- but there is no configuration of the switches on this (dusk-to-dawn or not) that supports regular non-dimmable LEDs. It seems this outputs 95 volts or so when "ON" and something like 30 volts when in dim mode (dusk-to-dawn position on switch). Dimmable LED and incandescent bulbs work fine with this, but regular LEDs (I tried several) flash at the full-on motion detected mode.

Good but not from 75'

This sensor was easy to install and does detect motion to turn on the lights, but the specs say it will work from 75' and my actual experience is less than half that distance.

range is limited on both that I purchased

Works OK,

No Good

on my fourth one in about 7 months. One wouldn't work at all. 2 burned out when our power went out. Our power goes out a lot. I can't keep spending an hour to drive to Lowes to get a replacement, and an hour back, plus the time to change it, and the inconvenience of no outside lights in between. Time to see what the Big Orange store has to offer.

check out to see if it swivels or not. I did not .

You can not adjust angle to get the right motion with this sensor

Didn’t work with my LED light bulbs.

Protection is a must in these times

In these days and times; Everybody is stealing from everyone else as a rule. Mostly Homeless, Drug Users, and Teen Age Kids. I’m inventing a system that will notify me when someone is someplace their NOT supposed to be.

Direct replacement

Simple setup easy to install.
