EDISHINE 180° Motion Sensor, Adjustable Time/Range to 60FT, 3 Modes, White | Replacement PIR Montion Detector, Adjustable Sensor Neck & Delay Time, Compatible with Security Floodlights, UL Listed

Does exactly what I wanted it to do

Although it appears to be a quality product, there are a few negative items.1. Confusing on how to adjust so the motion detector is only active at night. Initially the motion detector would turn the light on day or night. Then I adjusted for dawn to dusk with no motion detector. I fooled around with it some more including switching the power on and off. It now works as I wanted. It would be best if this was set to default to this setting.2. Certainly would be nicer if the controls were more accessible. Trying to see them after the detector is mounted flush to the wall is very difficult.3. The threads on the mounting shank have too large of blank space, so you can't get a good connection to a metal electrical box cover . I cut a short piece of 3/4" PVC pipe to act as a spacer so I could make a secure joint.The motion detector on my fancy outdoor lantern went bad, so having a remote sensor is a good idea. It took a fair amount of work to neatly install an electrical box for this, but if or when this unit fails, a replacement could be made quickly.I wanted motion detection 90 degrees to this device, which this does. Impressive.

Good easy to install.

Passed basic tests. Will have to wait and see on nighttime performance. For years I've used a brand that cost about 5 times as much and have had to replace them sooner or later. The housing on the Lancetti outdoor wall lamp was not deep enough to mate to the threaded mount (it needs about an inch of depth), so I rigged a mounting point using a shallow outlet box situated just under the light - the sensor wires were just long enough to allow this.

economical and it worked perfectly.

Works great. Love how you can set the area to sensor and how long the light stays on.

I have the unit installed, and so far it's working well: turning on when it sees movement, and shutting-off automatically after a few minutes.But: for a while I thought I had a defective unit, because, while I was installing it, it worked in Test mode, but not in its normal mode of operation. It just sat there totally dead. I was getting pretty frustrated. But then, at night, it started working! It was then that I discovered that, by design, it won't work at all until nightfall. The unit behaves in this way in ANY mode, not just its dawn-to-dusk mode. By the way, there's no way to adjust the light levels for what it considers to be "dark".I have my unit plugged into a circuit that is already controlled by sundown/sunrise (a nice Honeywell gadget), so I don't need this darkness detection feature, and it's a little annoying that I can't turn it off. The feature is not mentioned at all in the product description. The behavior is described in the manual, but only in one place right at the top, not near the sections that go into detail regarding operational settings.Anyway: the unit is working well for me now, now that I'm over the initial frustration of installation. It's a little annoying that I can't completely coordinate the sensor's dusk/dawn behavior with my other outside lights, but it's not a huge deal. And I'm sure many folks may value how it shuts itself off during the day. It would be good if the manufacturer actually put this feature in the product description.I'm sorry for the rating of 3, but I was dealing with this issue for a couple of hours on Sunday.

I like this motion sensor over the all-in-one light/sensor units. If the all-in-one stops working, it goes in the trash. If this sensor goes out on a unit that I put together, I can replace it. That being said, I have installed two of these and they’ve withstood several rainstorms and are going strong. Can I replace it when it goes bad? Yes, but I have no clue if that will ever happen. That’s a good thing.

Works great and is a great value. Easy to retrofit.

Works exactly as described. I used these to control a set of outdoor wall lights. Followed the instructions for installing with no problems. Connected all the wires inside an external box and it fit in perfectly. Would buy again.

Good unit and I am buying more.Heath-Zenith motion sensors are poorly documented as to their switching capabilities (incandescent, LED, etc) and notoriously failure-prone over time. Some older HZ models use triac (silent) electronic switch which won't work with LEDs, others use relays ("click") which work with wider variety of loads.These EDISHINE units use a relay for switching (you hear the little "click") the load, and are well documented. Work with both LED and incandescent loads.Time will tell how reliable they are. I'll update in future.There is also a 240 degree coverage model at a similar price point.Opportunities for product improvement:- a ball head type mount to provide more flexibility in aiming the sensor- putting little notches in the adjusting arm surface to help the arm pivot settings stay in place and not potentially slip over time- current sensor design has more detection range on cross movement at the sides than on approaching movement in the center. This is a typical weakness of most such sensors.

Replaced a malfunctioning sensor head on my outside lights without the cost of replacing the whole light assembly. The installation was easy and it came with good instructions on its operation. The sensor head performs as it should and I was pleased with the purchase.

easy to install and works as it should
