Does the motion sensor work if the bulb is installed inside a light fixture with clear glass enclosure?

I wasn't able to get it to work in the pantry because of the enclosure, and it is clear glass. But I moved it in the garage and it works great there.

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.

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

Depends on the driver circuit inside your motion detector night light. You would need to test one, then post back here and let others know. Also let people know what brand of fixture you have. They are known to flicker with photocell operated night lights.

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

Yes. This unit attaches to any 120v light fixture. As long as your LED bulb works in the fixture, this will turn it on and off when motion is detected at night. As someone else mentioned, the bulb cannot be dimmed when connected to this motion detector.

Yes, it should, because essentially this is just a switch that turns off the power, just like unplugging it from the wall. If you plug your touch lamp into the SensorPlug then the lamp will only turn on when the SensorPlug detects motion.

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, as long as you have room for the wires to connect to the fixture, I used a waterproof junction box which is part of many lamp setups. You will need an extra hole in the box to mount the stem of the motion detector that isn't shown in the photo.

Yes. is wired, very easy instructions, is a motion sensor with a 3 position switch for sensitivity, and 3 positions for the time the light stays on, 1,3, and 5 minutes. The most sensitive setting is very sensitive, insects sometimes set it off, I've been using the middle position plus you can turn the sensor eye if you want to cover a little different direction. I put in 60W clear bulbs and they do a very nice job. I have installed 6 of these and they work very well.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The bulb is just a bulb. For the motion-sensing, that depends on the fixture. The fixture tells the bulb to turn off/on. So, with a timer, it would be the same. The fixture would te the bulb to turn off/on.

I'm not sure. I'm still having intermittent problems, sometimes i'm unable to turn off the light. I'm thinking of disabling the light and installing a motion sensor light in the garage. Hope this is of some help,,,,,

Yes. Not only that, but the bulb also works on a lower brightness for background, nighttime use and full brightness when tripped by a motion sensing light fixture. I did the math on these bulbs. They are expensive at first, but based on the rate we pay for electricity (14 CENTS PER KILOWATT HOUR), if the bulb lasts 1.8 years, it pays for itself in our region

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

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......

The other answer is just wrong. He only has the illusion of it working some of the time. The fact is motion sensors (of this type) do not function through glass.

Yes. As long as the motion sensor detects movement it will. Also, you can click the switch to keep the lights on continuously for doing projects or for extended periods of time in the garage. Great feature!
