 Bad marketing for this product January 5, 2009

This was basically the only indoor light sensor at our local home depot. So who knew that it was only for "Magnetic Rapid Start" fluorescent bulbs only? Read the fine print. Read the fine print. And who uses "Magnetic Rapid Start" fluorescent bulbs these days anyway?

I've had three of these switches in my garage. They all worked very well --- for about one year. After a year, the sensor fails and I am left with a manual on/off switch. If I wanted a manaul on/off switch this would not be my choice.
I'm looking at motion sensor switches again because it is time to replace the third switch. Call me old fashioned, but I would expect a switch to last for at least five years. If you consider the cost of ownership to include annual replacement, this is not a bad product.
 Motion Sensor Switch needs some TLC to work correctly November 6, 2008

I have installed a couple of these switches, and they are not just plug-in and forget. The mini-manual the comes with them gives details, but in chinese-english that is hard to understand.
(1) Setup - There are two small thumb-wheel controls beside the motion-sensor. The one is for setting the length of time the switch is ON, and is obvious. The other one is quite delicate and compensates for ambient lighting and the lighting of the moving object. This is especially tricky when the motion sensor has a window in its view, and the ambient light it sees changes from day to night. If you have a window facing the switch, it would be best to put a blind in it to filter out some of the ambient light changes. With patience, I was able to get the switch to work well even though it faced a window. But it takes trial-and-error to compensate for motion during both day and dusk (it doesn't work at night).
(2) Flickering fluorescents - With the widespread conversion to fluorescent lighting, there is a new problem. The small screw-in spiral bulbs that replace incandescent lights have electronic "ballasts", which are totally different from those on the long fluorescent tubes. This motion-sensing light switch does not go completely OFF when there is no motion. A sensitive VOM will measure about 30+ volts on the hot line. However, there is little current available. The 30+ volts is enough to trigger the ballast on the spiral fluorescents, and it tries to light the lamp, however there is not enough current available and the light tries to go on, drains the minimal charge on the line, and then goes out. This repeats and you get a flicker. ---- You can solve this by replacing one of your lights with an incandescent lamp. This will constantly drain the charge trickle through the switch and prevent the voltage building up to trigger the ballast. I have used 45W and 60W bulbs, and both work. They just go in parallel with your spiral fluorescents. And you should no longer have any flicker.
**** With careful installation, these switches work quite well. My wife expecially appreciates the one in our laundry room which goes on automatically when she comes in with piles of laundry (we have a traditional marriage).

Works with fluorescent lights but not the kind you have. Heard a pop after installing this, one of my bulbs is flickering now and the motion sensor doesn't work. Energy saving devices like this is why the planet is doomed.
Not a great product August 31, 2008

I thought... all switches like this were the same. Not so.
This switch does not allow for energy saving fluorescant bulbs to be used, nor does it stay on very long when in use. As an example: I go into the room looking for something and shortly thereafter, the light goes off even if I am moving around. Just what does motion detection mean?
