What Customers Are Saying
Most customers report the dusk-to-dawn sensor fails to function reliably, staying on continuously, flickering erratically, or not activating at all despite following instructions. Reviewers describe the photocell as overly sensitive and unresponsive to ambient light levels, even with provided shielding. Many note the light remains on in bright daylight or cycles unpredictably every few minutes. Some mention design flaws like the socket stem interfering with bulbs. A small number report success after careful placement or adjustment, but these cases are rare and require technical knowledge most users lack.

Would RecommendI bought this for an outdoor light at my church, a fixture than 2 different electricians had said would be extremely difficult (& expensive) to attach to a 'standard' dusk/dawn sensor due to its location. This simple device not only accomplished my goal of having overnight light in a dark area, but did it at a fraction of the cost & time.

Works as designed
Would RecommendIt is very helpful since I often forget to turn outside lights on/off.

Works well on the porch except the sensor is not as effective as we hoped.

Not Worth The Money!
Would Not RecommendWhen I first installed this Woods sensor, it turned my outdoor light on several hours before sunset. Then after only two months, it stopped turning the light off completely. I had to remove it and buy something else.
Lowes purchase
Window cleaner works better than Windex. Light bulb dimmer works fine

Extra peace of mind with auto on light

Don't work
Would Not RecommendDon't spend your time and money on this product. Then Lowe's won't give you your money back!
Won't work as hoped
Would Not RecommendSensor is to close to base, once screwed in it is blocked by the already installed lamp base

An extremely reliable dusk to dawn option
This has been a very reliable product that I have bought a few over the years. A very nice dusk to dawn option for outside lighting. On average I’d say they last just over 5 years with continuous year round use through cold winters and hot summers.

Garbage
Would Not RecommendThis sensor just cycles on and off. I've tried to use the prescribed sensor filter but it had no effect. Company customer suport is ZERO. You can't find the company contact anywhere. Don't buy it.
Don’t waste your time and $
Would Not RecommendRead all the reviews. I wish I had. Product very substandard. Flickers or goes on and off randomly.
I bought this to replace a light-sensitive bulb that had burned out. It was several years old. The bulb that I replaced had the light sensor on the bulb itself. I purchased it at Lowe's. Unfortunately, Lowes no longer carries it so I had to settle for this type. It works, but adds an additional couple of inches so the bulb now extends below the glass enclosure. This means a thief could easily get ahold of it and unscrew it. Also, in the package that comes with it are several little "pegs" of dif...
