Motion Sensor Dusk-to-Dawn 5000K LED Outdoor Button Light

I want to give this 5 stars, but I'm taking one off because I had some difficulty installing the base of the unit. I'd like to see screws included, with a definitive mounting kit. If you want to screw the housing directly to the electrical box, then you will need to drill through the screw holes. The problem is, if you do this with conventional shorter mounting screws, you can't see what you're doing while you try to align the unit, and even if you manage to do that, you will be screwing into a box you can't see. So the heck with that noise . . . I took hardware I used from Heath Zenith units I had (incidentally they have great customer service and include detailed mounting instructions with hardware!) placing studs through slots in the top of a conventional metal plate, then attaching the plate to the box with screws. This leaves the longer studs to slide on to the housing but you have to carefully measure the distance between them and mark drill holes, which are not going to be in the recessed "guide" spots on the housing. This also means the unit will not be entirely flush as the heads of the studs force the mounting plate a mm or so away from the surface. I used thumb nuts to secure the housing to the studs. There's room for improvement here. And saving a trip to the hardware store ranks high in my book.

A large metal plate, which is hinged to the housing, holds the guts of the unit, and it snaps shut once the wires are connected. Out of the box, it looks like an innovative design and snaps shut easily when it's upside down. But once I had it installed, I had difficulty making it stay shut. I screwed on the outer shell and figured that would hold it. Anyway, I found that quite annoying. It needs a more secure snap down mechanism than plastic tabs. At this point, I was on the verge of returning it.

The upside: The electrical connection was a snap, no pigtail needed. And the unit looks good and works great! Installing during daylight, it seemed at first that something was wrong since nothing happened. But it came on with the default dim setting once it sensed lower light. After dark, the motion sensor triggered the brighter light. There are 4 adjustments: dim, lux, timer and sensitivity. They are easily accessed by unscrewing the cover. I like the default pretty well so far.

It seems there aren't too many ceiling mount motion sensor lights out there. I would like to get more of these around the perimeter of my house since this model uses less energy, looks better, and are less cumbersome than the Heath Zenith lamps I got at Home Depot about ten years ago. And you don't need to get replacement bulbs! Hopefully, a newer model will incorporate some improvements, since the light itself works very well and it's perfect for the entry to my front walkway with the dim setting on after dark and the bright setting with the motion sensor.

I have a mid-century designed home and like the simple design. This light was very easy to install.The LED light is bright but can be set to a lower brightness level, if needed. I currently have this light set for Dusk to Dawn operation but I really like having the option to have it only be a motion sensor light or just a normal overhead light controlled by a switch. This light can also be controlled by a dimmer switch as well. Very happy with this purchase so I am buying 2 more.

This is the only motion sensored lighting fixture that I could find that doesn't look ugly. It did mostly what it is supposed to, but erratically. I called the manufacturer and they were super helpful. The responsiveness I experienced with them was unprecedented. I felt that several of their design team members were there to help me diagnose the problem. Eventually, they shipped a replacement unit to me, with the four knobs preset to my specific application. And the second unit works perfectly. I felt that it was worth the trouble to have a beautiful lamp eventually.

The light works pretty well in my place. I have some electrical background and the whole installation/settings is not a thing for me as DIY. It's a nice light fixture designed with twin head, providing flexibility, good function and brightness.

Customer service makes all the difference! Unlike most current motion light with dusk to dawn and dimming saving function.

Easy install works great

Just what I was looking for... Dusk to Dawn sensor AND a Motion Detector AND a built in Lite all in one package. I have a broken ceiling fixture and burned out fluorescent lite on the front porch operated by a broken dusk to dawn timer. This lite will easily them all, and it's adjustable if needed.

Good bright light that works great in my car port. Easy install other than the hole k/o for the screw should already be there

It was easy to install and works very well.

the ability to make so many adjustments makes this light so wonderful!

Great light, needs some adjustments on the time it stays on and the range of motion. Once I get that right, it will be 5 star!

I just bought this two days ago. It looks good and kinda functions. I use it for the simplest application: at night it turns on when it detects motion. It does turn on - so far that's what it promises to do - but, very quickly it turns off (faster than the shortest time I set it to which is 8 seconds). But then, it immediately turns back on again. It repeats this for several times in quick succession, even after I leave the area. It does eventually quiet down. But its behavior is so erratic that it almost feels like a defective unit.

Instructions for installation were terrible!!!!

It was a 5 star rating for the 3 months it worked. Very disappointed.

I played with this light for two months. All I wanted was for it to be off during the day and to go on at night if there was motion. I gave up and went shopping for another light.

Don't waste your money on this light.
