What is the angle for the motion sensor? Will this work well in a hallway where it needs to pickup motion from the sides ?

This Maxxima Light is a good light to use but you do have to be facing the front of it for it to respond to motion

The motion sensing was good, as we used it in a hallway. However, after about 40 days the sensor/off failed, so when triggered the light stayed on indefinitely.

It is not very accurate and it basically has to be in view of the motion sensor. It won't work thru walls and it has a range of about 30 to 50 feet

This seems to work well for things directly in front of it. If you can line the sensor plug to be on the side of the TV, it should work.

I had the same problem, what I noticed about this unite unlike a watch dog unit I have the motion detecting part is opposite the speaker, so when I turn it around it worked perfect, also for best use it needs to be about 2 or 3 feet from door or wall or whatever . I hope this helps because that,s all I have. good luck Rita O.

I have mine on front porch, vertically with the sensor towards the ground. It seems to work all the way around.

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

The light is bright enough to illuminate a front door area. You should consider how you will be placing the light with respect to the motion sensor. I had this light at my front door but I placed it to high so the motion sensor lost its range. It worked for me but I have re-located this light to my garage.

From my experience, any things is moving in front of the sensor about 45 degree and up to 10 feet will work. Make sure you set up the bulb with object moving in front of sensor (the tip for the bulb)

Hi patrick,I never purchased a motion sensor, just the switch, so I can't really comment on it's functions.

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.

The sensitivity of the motion sensor is definitely available. The angle of the sensor can be adjusted. I think when you adjust the sensitivity that you also affect the range. The is a great light. I've installed two of them and have had no problems. It's bright and its very reliable.

This motion sensing light with a 100 watt bulb will detect any motion. Since my light ficture was put in the wall by the builder it is 1 foot down from the ceiling on the wall and faces outward. The unit works as I walk into the room from my Kitchen. You will not have any trouble putting into the socket and then put in the light bulb. You will notice on the socket how to place it to let it detect any thing 360 degrees. Mine lasted over 10 years or better before it went out. This one is brand new and I think it will last until I die..I am 82

These units have limited degrees of freedom to move. They work well if the light fitting already points down towards the general area that the sensor is supposed to cover.

Yes. The sensor insider will work regardless of what position it is in, i.e. it's not affected by gravity. Mine is on the wall just above and to the side of my kitchen fireplace.

Dear MikeYes the sensor might be facing towards the direction where motion will occur. So i believe it should be pointting downwardsBest regardsStacy @ ChiChinLighting

Amanda, I have the sensor above a door at the end of my hallway so that it monitors all doors connected to it. I keep the remote in my bedroom that is about 60ft away and it has worked fine. Hope this helps.
