EATON Lighting MS188 180 Degree 300W Halogen Motion Security Floodlight, Bronze

It was finally time to replace my existing, non-motion triggered flood-light with a new one; and this time I definitely wanted to get one with a motion sensor. I looked thru the various offerings and finally settled on this one, mainly because I did not want to go with the traditional ones (you know the type I am talking about; the ones with the two big round spotlights). In my opinion, these single, square, Hallogen lights look much nicer.At first glance the light looks very nice. Mounting it was a snap and the 300 watt Halogen light is more than enough to light up my drive way. So on these particular topics I am extremely satisfied.The motion sensor however I am not too pleased with. The light is advertised as offering 180 degree / 70 feet motion security, but based on my experience with this time, those numbers are extremely far fetched. Even on the most sensitive setting, I can only get the light to come on, when jumping up and down just a few feet away from it. The funny thing is though that despite all the effort I have to go thru to get it to turn on, it does frequently turn on by itsself when, in my opinion, no motion is to be detected)So I am not sure what's up with this thing. I don't think it is broke since it does detect motion; it's just that it doesn't seem to be sensitive at all.

It lasted one year. During that year, the motion sensor would trip on its own which made it pointless since it turned on quite often. As others have pointed out, you would have to jump around very near it to get it to turn on, and yet it would go off on its own when nothing was near. Replacing the bulb was a pain. Turns out the ceramic mounts that hold the bulb in place had grown brittle over time from the heat and cracked when I tried to replace the bulb. I also noticed that I do not like the method of removing the glass front. When you are standing on a ladder, carefully unscrewing the screws that hold the clips which hold the glass in place, you wish for a better method of securing the glass.

Tee light and sensor has worked fine, the construction is sturdy (I like its metal) The original bulb did not last long, but that is not a big deal for me as they are cheap and easy to replace.

I thought it was a nice looking light. Mounted it and all seemed fine although the motion detector was very sensitive. I had to set it at its lowest sensitivity, which was fine with me. Well The nuisance trips got more and more. I have other detectors that do not give problems. Well the bulb went out. now the motion detector does not work either. All this in 4 months. Don't waste your money

The motion sensor is lacking and I have had to replace bulbs 3 times in less than 6 months...which was foolish on my part as I should have just returned it to Lowe's. The sensor turns on for no reason, overheats the bulbs with the constant on-and-off. My last bulb is blown and still inside because it is fused to the connection.
