can I use this with an extender in a recessed outdoor light? How far out of the recessed can does the sensor have to be?

Yes you can..... in my situation, I left an old sesor that was smaller in diameter in and just put this in the end of that one and works fine

I screwed mine into a ceiling socket on my outdoor carport and have had no problem. Why do you think you need an extender? I would imagine as long as the sensor is out from whatever you put it in, it will work. Sensor needs to be able to detect light. Hope this helps.

Your extender can go as far as you like as long as the "eye" is pointed in the direction of sunlight. The control is not waterproof. The extender must not perform any other function other than extending electricity from the base of the light fixture to the Westek control, otherwise the light bulb will get mixed signals from the extender and the Westek control which may cancel each other out.

I think the most obvious effect would be that it would alter its responsiveness to the light. It may turn on sooner than you would expect because it wasn't seeing as much light. Other than that, as long as it could be exposed to the light it should work. I use mine outside I'm a wall-mounted sconce.

I put mine on the side of the house so that the sensor would have input. check the instructions, you may be able to use it on timer only. DEL

The maximum distance for motion sensor seems to be about 30-35 feet. That is directly in front of the light. These lights are terrific so far.

Hi I think you can, I've just connected up a 8ft sensor RWD80 to a RWD41 unit using the sensor which it comes with and the extension cable and it alarms on both sensors lengths. You could ask technical as well or try it. Recommend trying it without running all the cable in, try it with the cable still on the roll, hope it make sense, let us know how you get on regards Neil

You will be fine. The sensors are above the light fixture will not affect one another, it shines down and outward

Any light should be able to be used wth a sensor switch. It's an instant on bulb so there is very little time when it's not fully bright.

Yes- I mounted the senor on an exterior LED light assembly over the front door. I modified the light enclosure to accept the sensor and wired it into the 115 volt wiring inside the light without a problem. Worked first time!

Probably not, suggest contacting manufacturer first. Shop around, I have bought 1 new and 4 at garage sales and eBay and Craig's list. I have 3 yards to light up. I only use motion sensor option.

This item didn't work at all for me, I returned it and got the First Alert sensor which works great but I believe can only be used vertically. You may need a more sophisticated item for your needs. More like a security light fixture with a separate sensor and socket that you use a regular bulb in.

Place it at one end with sensor facing toward middle it has about a 6 foot range

Hi ... my light is mounted on a 5' fence to reach up to 45-50' around. I think the maximum motion detection range is about 65', but the higher mounting could increase the distance for motion detection. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for their answer if you need something more precise.

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

Our 12W 4" Recessed Lighting fixture is not compatible with any housing, it is made to be installed directly to the dry wall. However, if you are looking for a recessed light that needs to be used with the cans, please refer to ASIN: B00JUO51QU

Probably will not work as it's a motion sensor. If the shade impairs the sensing, it won't work. The sensor is in the black band.

A maximum of 2 extenders can be registered to the same base unit. You may get decent results with just one unit. I installed one extender about 8 feet above the base unit (2nd fl vs 1st fl), and the improvement outdoors was dramatic. About 100 yds in each direction with very clear signals. Might even be further, but that was beyond our property line of a 2.5 acre lot.

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.
