Will the wireless sensor turn the lights on in daytime? Can the wireless sensor turn on the light when the switch has turned off the lights entirely?

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected.B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

The wireless sensor has a switch inside the battery compartment which allows the selection for night only light operation or light operation at all times (day or night). Switch removes photocell from circuit so motion can activate lights day or night or night only depending on switch position. If lights are turned off with the wall switch the system will reset and motion sensor will continue to activate lights if motion is subsequently detected. The wall switch has a secondary switch (small slider at the bottom) that depowers the system. If this switch is off the system is depowered and lights will not come on regardless of motion sensed by the motion sensor.

It does not turn on the lights during the day. You can set the wall switch so the lights will not come on at all.

Yes, it works in the daytime. No, it won't work if turned off by the switch.

I placed the light bulb in the socket during the day. I then turned the light switch on. The light came on, so I shut the switch back off then back on. The light blinked a couple of times, then went out. I then left the light switch on permanently and the light has been turning on at dusk and shutting off at dawn. On a really dark stormy day, it might also come on while the dark persists.

Yes and No. Yes, you can turn the light on and leave it on overnight. But no, it will turn itself off in the morning with when daylight comes. Maybe too smart for its own good, but good enough for me :-)

Only the light with this sensor will detect motion but once that motion IS detected both lights will turn on as long as the light with the sensor gets power first.

Yes, sensitivity is unchanged at night. The sensor eye illuminates slightly when it is sensing. In daylight it can not be seen. This does not affect it's ability to sense motion, but if you are trying to tell if you have set off the alarm you can not tell when the sensor is in bright light. You need a helper in the house to tell you when it is working.

The bulb has a motion sensor, not a light sensor. I use mine in the laundry room so that when I come in carrying a full basket, I don't have to fumble for the light switch. It works day and/or night. For the outdoor post light, next to my driveway, I have a light sensor bulb (not from ChiChinLighting) that I leave on 24/7. It goes off at dawn and on at dusk. That's the type of bulb you want, unless you can find a light bulb with BOTH a motion sensor and light sensor so that it only comes on when it senses movement at night.

North side of my house (where I have three of these lights installed) is shaded and lights do NOT come on during the day. The light sensor is sensitive enough that even on cloudy days, the lights do NOT come on.

No. You can turn the light off with the switch on the bottom but the sensor will not react and will not light up.

this light sensor can detect the lighting, when the lighting put on it, it will turn on the switch, when not lighting, it will turn off the switch

This light is not activated by motion. My light is connected to a light sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at sunrise. The light can be connected directly to a switch to turn it on or off. Hope this helps.

No. You can purchase a separate sensor that will turn it on and off. I did this with a 10 watt light and it lights one end of my house quite well.

No. If in automatic mode it will only come on if it detects motion. The only other modes are either full off or full on (but off during daylight hours). I love this light and have decided to replace my old lights with these. Maybe of interest: I have installed my light on a remote system so I can control it from anywhere in the house with the remote control. Hope this helps.

The program (on/off) is set by the time of day for a seven day period. If you know the time of sunset you could program in that time, but there is no light sensor. I previously had put sensors on my lights, but they were not that "accurate" and after a few months they quit working all together. Being able to turn on the lights at a specified time is much better for me, although some reprogramming will be required as DST kicks in and the hours of sunlight changes. Hope this helps.

Yes, manual ON (with switch). Sensor will turn lights OFF after no motion time out (adjustable).

It can connect to a light switch and the motion sensor will turn on the light, however, there is no setting to leave the light on. If you wanted to turn it on and leave it on to eluminate the area all night you can't. The timmer controls how long it will stay on, so when it goes off, only the motion sensor will turn it back on.

I don't think so. My guess is that if the sensor is blocked by the fixture, the light would always be on; if it is NOT blocked, the fixture's reflector may reflect light back on to the sensor, thus turning it off and on repeatedly at night. The bulb is designed to operate with a relatively unobstructed outside view. They work great for me in light post and wall mount carriage house-type glass and metal fixtures.

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..
