Questions & Answers
Can it rotate to see motion below? I have a recessed covered entrance light fixture . If someone walk UNDER the light will it pick up that motion? If not, is there a product that can detect motion below and screw into my existing fixture?

how many lumes?
Hello Jimm, thank you for your question. This is a light socket, not a light. You twist your light into this sensor, so this unit has no lumens. If you have any other questions, please give us a call between the hours of 7 AM – 8 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483, press option 4
I have two problems with my Motion-Sensing light. First, the description above clearly says "Rotates to place motion sensor where you need it", however, this is not true. It will not move and is pointing off to the side regardless of how I turn it into the fixture. Second. It will not shut off. Is there a fix for these problems or do I have to return it?
Try tightening it all the way and then easing it out by turning counterclockwise until the sensor points at the desired angle. The light stays on for 10 min and there doesn’t appear to be a way to adjust the ‘on’ time.
Hello Madgie, thank you for your question. The main issue is that the light is not turning off. The light should be turning off 10 minutes after motion stops. Here is how to rotate the lighting control: Screw the lighting control into the socket. Once tightened, rotate the light control counter-clockwise to position the motion-sensing lens in the desired direction. Ensure that there are no line-of-sight obstacles to block the motion sensor. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483, and press option 4.

1) will this work in an enclosed outdoor light fixture (clear glass)? 2) will it work with the light bulb in the up verse down position?
Hello Workebee, thank you for your question. No, the motion-sensor cannot penetrate glass, plastic lamp shades or other covering. The product is designed and tested for the bulb to be in a downward position. Unfortunately, our product was not tested in the direction and manner of which you are using it therefore it is a safety concern and we recommend installing the product in the manner it was intended to be used. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
1. I would think so. It's very sensitive to movement. 2. I think so also. BUT due to incandescent light getting hot, I'd make sure it's an LED bulb! So it wouldn't effect the electronics in the unit.
Is there an adjustment to change the length of time the light will turn off?
No it can't be adjusted. It stays on for approximately 10 minutes.
Hi Myra, thank you for your question Unfortunately, the timeout time cannot be customized. The light is set to run off 10 minutes after motion stops. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
No
How does the device rotate to a different scanning area?
It doesn't once you screw it in like a lightbulb it's stuck in the direction it's facing
It doesn't.
the device easily rotates on its vertical axis. I rotated it with my hand without requiring any kind of tool.
Hi Duke, thank you for your question. The device does not rotate. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
Does this unit have a photo cell?
No photocell
Yes, you can't see it but it senses the heat signature of your body turning on the light.
NO PHOTO CELL to turn on at night. will turn on with motion day or night.
Hi Rp, thank you for reaching out to us with your question. No, this motion-sensing light control has a PIR (motion) sensor that detects heat movement that will automatically turn light on when motion is detected. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.
it does not turn off when light, the motion sensor i think is infrared or phased and will turn it on when my dogs or I pass within around 15ft. it will stay on for about 10 min from the last time it detected motion. i have used it on my back porch with a 120vac outlet adapter to turn on my radio as i approach even on sunny days.

480-Volt Passive Infrared Fixture Mount High Bay Occupancy Sensor with 2 Interchangeable Lenses and Aisle Mask, White
The OSFHU self-contained sensor mounts directly to a luminaire or electrical box to provide local occupancy control for either general area or aisle way pattern detection using PIR technology with a microprocessor based digital architecture that minimizes false triggering. The OSFHU provides a trouble-free "install and forget" solution for high-bay lighting control. The OSFHU high-bay occupancy sensor is specifically designed for high mounted areas such as warehouses, manufacturing and other high ceiling applications. The OSFHU installs directly to an industrial fluorescent luminaire or an electrical junction box. It is a self-contained sensor and relay that turns individual light fixtures on or off based on occupancy in the detection zone. It comes with three interchangeable lenses for use in either a 360-degree high-bay or 360-degree low-bay general area or an aisle way. The OSFHU provides reliable coverage up to 40 ft. mounting heights. The OSFHU is also available in a model for cold storage applications with temperatures as low as -40 degrees F. To improve the field-of-view for deep body fixtures, a separate offset adapter accessory (OSFOA-00W) can be used to position the sensor below the fixture body. The adapter simply snaps into a 1/2 in. knockout on the end of the industrial fixture to attach the sensor. Green LED indicates occupancy detection.
