Mine stopped working what do i need to do.
Asked by Mik April 3, 20176
AnswersMine stopped after 1 day using a LED 60 watt light, this is the second one in 3 days. Terrible
Can it detect motion through a clear glass globe?
Asked by homelady December 6, 20164
AnswersProbably not. Infra red light does not pass through ordinary glass
Can the sensor see through a frosted light fixture like a porch light?
Asked by Thatguy August 24, 20163
AnswersProbably not. Infra red light does not pass through ordinary glass.
Can the motion sensor monitor movement near underneath the fixture?
Asked by Billdo January 20, 20165
AnswersI had same problem as my sensor was facing the opposite direction of my door, what I did was take the two little screws out on the top of the light control, I then rotated it half a turn, put screws back in and sensor is on the correct side now facing door. Of course it’s not possible to do this if it’s screwed in to your socket so there is no risk of electrical shock. Hope this helps!
can this light control be used outdoor
Asked by Projectlightingh August 16, 20155
AnswersYes.

Bought 5. Had to return 3 of them, as they wouldn't work in any of our outlets. Two did work - in all of them. However, one of those failed less than a month after purchase, and I don't have the receipt.
Made In China Quality Control, so why am I not surprised. If Home Depot is smart, they'll dump this brand.

The motion sensing light control was just what I needed. I installed it in a lamp in my finished basement. When I come in from the garage with my hands full, it turns on as soon as I enter the room. I appreciate the safety it offers rather than tripping over something in the dark. Two thumbs up.
