Can the path lights be configured so they also go on as motion lights? I am trying to not have to have two units side by side, one for emergencies.

Mr. Beams should make these motion lights as well. Many more people would purchase the system (including me and a few members of my family).

I had motion detection lights installed on my stairs first. I was impressed with how well they worked, so proceeded buy and install the MB280 system. Since I didn't need the "hallway" lights for that purpose, I put them in the "other" bedrooms near the exit doors, where they will come on if there is need for light in a power failure. The overhead lights are now at the top of the hallway outside the bedrooms, and directly over the downstairs exit door. The motion detector lights will light the stairs during any outages as they have been all along. I am glad to have both systems installed. I had motion detection lights installed on my stairs first.

Sadly, no motion options on this bunch. Mr. Beams does sell units which appear similar and will activate on motion, but that's a different product.

Yes they can be linked together but keep in mind that the remote only reached the lights in a 30-40 foot radius. also the lights can be cut every 3 lights to make a 90 degree turn or change direction.

Yes, you can change the direction of each individual light. They are very nice and bright.

I live with my elderly mother and thought they were a great idea. I bought two sets one for me to use upstairs and one for her to use downstairs. Unfortunately, they both are on the same frequency. When I turn on mine it turns hers and vice versa. Therefore unless you want two lights/appliances operating at the same time; one set is essentially useless. You could always keep one set and give the second as a gift.

Darren,Yes they can. They aren't always perfectly straight either way but they do find position both horizontal and vertical. They don't soon but have to be removed and placed in the vertical bracket that. I will say that if you are using these lights to be set up at many locations and quickly it could be difficult. They really are lights for a studio or lighting that will be in place for long periods of time. They take a bit to set up and it is easier with two people.

Yes, make sure both lights are grounded well on the frame. I wired a toggle switch into the power wire to turn them on and off. Not super bright but they work, no batteries.

I know that I can activate 2 at once using the motion sensors. I use one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. The motion sensors at the top and the bottom of the stairs can activate both lights.

Sorry I dont know the specifics but I had my contract install these, twice. He purchased extra low voltage wire so we could expand it and we added addt'l individual lights from the manufacturer from Home Depot to add to the system. So I know it can be done and according to him pretty simple. These have worked out really well for us.

I have the same situation and I have not found a solution other than to place them at opposite ends of the house and use a different lighting set for one of the closets.

Yes; that is how I am using this in two different rooms. And that should be the only 3way setup. 2 dimmers would not work correctly.

Yes. The lights can be place in either the vertical or horizontal positions. Before purchasing this product I read you couldn't place it in a horizontal position. I purchase them anyway considering the price then once receiving them and opening the package, the very first thing I did was see if u could place them in both positions. Hope this helps....Enjoy!!!!

I just tried it and I could not get it to do it. I don't know why you would want both on at the same time! If you want both on together then use 2 lights.
2119199
yes. you have the choice of using both lights at the same time, or just one if you want too.
1408628
Yes, the lights can run in different directions as long as they are wired properly.

Don't think so. ... Both motion and light sensor are in one unit in the front. Maybe a fencing around the eye just to cover for motion. ...

If you search for "insteon module" there are indoor and outdoor versions you can plug into an outlet and control with the motion sensor. I use the outdoor one to control path lighting.

Depending on your application but a simple on off switch would work. You cannot control the spot and the floodlights separately.
