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

No longer suitable for outdoor use
Would Not RecommendWorked great for 3 years. Then I noticed a blue light on for most of the night. Checked it out and the sensor housing had filled with water. It's under-eave mounted and hasn't been touched since installed in 2021. With time the seals seem to have degraded - cold winters & hot summers. It has a 5 year warranty but who keeps a paper receipt for 3 years - purchased before Lowes offered email receipts. Oh well. I'll try draining it and seal the seams with caulk. See what happens.
Okay, but overpriced
Fit and works, but not much cheaper than complete fixture.

Great peripheral vision
Would RecommendIf you can follow the wiring instructions, it works very well, much better than the original sensor. And it has great peripheral vision. It's more expensive, but worth it.

Does Not Work With LED Lights
Would Not RecommendThe published specification states these units work with LED lights. I tried two different units with my LED fixture and neither worked. About 50% of the time the sensor would flash the LED lights like a disco strobe. I suspect they use a triac to switch the voltage on and off. My LED lights evidently did not draw enough current to fully turn on the triac. At first I thought I had a bad sensor and replaced it with another new unit which also put my lights into the disco strobe mode. Repla...
