Installing the sensor was relatively easy. You need a hole saw to do it, of course. The sensor worked well. I read a review that there was a long delay before the light would turn on, but after blocking the sensor the light came on within 3 seconds. I installed this sensor 2 days ago for a friend, so I do not get to see it working on a daily basis. It worked as was advertised and met my expectations. It looks good & seems sturdy. The body of the sensor takes up some room inside the post, but there was enough room for the wires and, in this case, there is an ac receptacle as well, but all fit neatly. It would have been nice for the sensor to have a gasket, but it fit tightly against the pole. NOTE: Be careful of the wires inside the post as you drill that 1-3/8" hole!

This was an exact replacement for the old sensor. All holes lined up. Wiring was a little different, but nothing difficult to figure out. Looks good, and works as advertised.

Repeatedly, the lamppost light beside my driveway would not coming on at dusk. I would reset the GFCI outlet that it was wired through, and it worked normally again. Next day, same thing, same fix. I thought it was the GFCI outlet, but something I read suggested it was the lamp photosensor. I bought this replacement eye, it works like it's supposed to now, day after day.

My post light would not go off. Turns out it is the optical sensor. THis new one has a connector on it. The sensors last 5-10 years. Hopefully if it ever goes again they will have the same connector so that I don't have to hassle with the wiring so much.
Now itworks just fine.

It appeared to be a good replacement for my Adjusta Post 320. However, the wiring sequence was not the same as shown in the picture and I did not know how to rewire. First, the advertised picture SHOULD match the product. Second, buyer needs to verify that the wiring matches his original equipment if he expects to just plug it in and be done. If buyer is competent to change the wiring, this appears to be a good replacement unit at a good price. I only rated one star because I had trusted the picture to be accurate and it cost me two trips to buy and return, so, I am NOT happy.

I would only recommend this product if it is an exact replacement for an existing photo eye. The instructions didn't state what size hole needed to be drilled therefore had to be returned. This would be a really large hole to drill in a metal post.

2nd one works
Hard part to find. First one ordered shorted out after a day. Replacement part is going strong after a couple weeks. Home Depot was great about returning the defective sensor and helping me to reorder it.

The dimensions shown online were not the dimensions of the item. The photocell was defective. It had a short in it and would blink and then stay on all day even in the brightest of sunlight.

Worked great but .....
Installation was easy with the supplied direction until the part where is said you use the supplies mounting screws that weren't in the package. I would have to look at another package in the store but I don't think Any of the packages had them included. Easy fix with a permenent marker on 2 stainless screws I had in the garage.

Piece of cake to install this. And all I know about "electricity' is "on and off".

Worked great
Worked perfect. I did think I was just going to be able to use the plug and not do ANY wiring, but the connector didn't fit so I had to wire in the provided connector.

Fails annually and must be replaced
Just installed third photo cell in outdoor lamp. This time I saved receipt and old photocell installed July 27 last year and it went bad in just under 50 weeks. Powered three small florescent candelabra type lamps in outdoor fixture. Replaced today with new photo cell from Home Depot and replaced florescent with LED to see if florescent was cause of failure of three previous photocells including the original that came with fixture. Checked extensively for water or other damage to photo cell and found clean. Also photocell is out of direct sunlight (facing North in NJ)
PS rate good for appearance since Home Depot in my area only carries black and we have a white pole and fixture.
If there is a space for my email in submission manufacturer or Home Depot can contact me since I have two of the failed units.

Lamp Sensor
Worked the first time with just matching wire to wire with a modification of what was there before. Now my lamp does not come on in the day time. Great product.
