I purchased the Progress Lighting P5661-71, that is motion activated. Are there instructions that I can view on line to activate the motion detector

Go to the progress lamp website (http://progresslighting.com/products.aspx?product=P5661-71) and click on the installation pdf icon under product support.

hi, i think the bottom button on the wall control enables the automatic motion detector. one's for light on/off and the other is for the detector. sorry, i don't remember which is which. if that doesn't work than theirs a problem in the unit. i'd contact genie

The item I bought has the motion detector with it, now if you are wanting to add another one I don't know if you can do it with this one without purchasing another unit. Hope this helps!

It's a motion detector. It's installed in my bedroom closet and when all the lights are off and I've opened the closet door it turns on. Then goes off by itself. I like it a lot. A bit heavy for my use as it's really a porch light but, what the hey,...it fit my needs and it's attractive.

Check the manual for the motion detector. There were old ones where the electronic switches in the motion detector got, well, confused if they were feeding something other than an electrically simple incandescent.

If your question is, can you turn the light on from a switch and bypass the motion detector.No I dont think so. It's always on and operated by the motion detector.

Virtually all motion detectors are wired the same. there should be three wires, red white and black. There are two wires going to your light, a white neutral and a black hot that is coming from your on/off switch. The white on the detector ties into the neutral. the other two wires are inserted (cut) into the black house wire with the black detector wire going to the switch and the red going the light. DON'T REVERSE THEM. TURN OF CIRCUIT BREAKER FIRST. The other guy is probably right; if you had to ask you are in over your head. Call an electrician before you get hurt.

I returned this bulb. The motion sensor did not work well. I bought these instead on Amazon....Viridi Motion Activated 8.1 Watt LED Bulb (2 Pack).I had them since March 2013. And they work great. The Viridi ones do not come on during the daytime. I installed them at my outdoor covered patio. But I noticed Amazon does not have them available right now.

The one I purchased looks like your picture. The instructions say it is water resistent, but should be installed base up (the picture is base down).It also says it is "dimmable." However, if you have "older" motion detector fixtures or dimmers on your fixture -- which some have -- you might want to go slow on reducing the voltage, unless you have access to someone understanding LED theory.Best wishes.

These lights are wired very simple...motion activates the light relay and lights on...there is no programing for "stobe" Guessing bum light...try to return or you can bypass everything (motion sensor) and just have on/off light

Barry! I just read now in the manual: Motion detection ON (enable) OFF (off). Try this when you connect 12 VDC to camera. It should detect motion. I never used this function either:-( Steve

I believe you'd have to ask the inventors of motion detectors 'how' these smart little instruments work internally. Here's what I know: when the sensor is set to'on'; in a dark room, any motion (shadow?) in its path, will trigger the light to go on!

never used the motion detector. It is just a very good device. Last one lasted over 10 years.

No to both questions. This light turns on with a push switch and has no motion sensor.

Follow the packaged instructions which I thought were quite adequate. This is a link http://www.heath-zenith.com//data/manuals/595-5578-08.pdf to a PDF of the manual for the type I installed which I think may be very similar in the installation to that pictured in customer S. Pike's question. Adjustment of the motion sensor and other settings were important to my satisfaction and may be to S. Good luck!

I very sorry about your daughter, but yes it is an motion detector and it will activate when there any movement...I Love it

Sorry but I do not use the motion detectio0n feature. I do agree that the instructions are poor.
