My backyard is wooded area. Does this light's sensor work on branch moving by window?

I can't say for sure because mine is mounted on my garage and there are no branches in it's field of detection, there are filters included that allow you to narrow, or fine tune it's field of detection. I can say it's extremely well made and performs flawlessly. Sorry i couldn't answer more specifically.

i put a flag outside next to the light ; in the summer months ; & i have to take it down at night , because its movement ; turns on the light ; but dont let this discourage you ! the sensitivity is adjustable

Yes... it may turn on when windy. You can adjust the sensitivity which should help.This is a very good sensor guaranteed for 10 years by Mfg. Take note that all sensors may not be compatible with LED light bulbs.

It could depending how close it is to the sensor. We had an umbrella up and the movement from that in higher winds caused it to come on.

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)

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.

The sensor triggers as a person approaches and walks nearly under the fixture on our sidewalk. It's not overly sensitive for false cycling in summer or winter. Leaves and wind do not trigger a cycle. My fixture is about 9 feet off the ground. Hope this helps you.

The light sensor is on top of the unit, so it might not work if it 's in the shade all the time.

The sensor attaches to the tree or post with supplied screws. Mine was attached to the house under the carport just before you get to the mailbox, you want it high enough were animals won't set it off. Also the sensor it, has a long range. If you point it towards a street it will pick up any vehicle or person that walks within range. It works very well, I can now tell anytime someone walks under my carport. also you can use double sided tape it you put it on something that you can't attach with the screw. Hope this helps.

It has motion detection and light sensing. I installed one outside. It only lights when it senses motion at night.

It will detect each and every person or animal that walks in front of it, no matter whether they are coming or leaving. Most likely, an ordinary porch light will not trigger it, a very large yard light might, depending on where the sensor is aimed.

Yes it's excellent for outdoor light but wont recommend using it for motion-detection.

Hi, Loraine,There are no trees where my spotlights are located, so I ran an experiment. I went out last night with a small branch and waved it gently at different distances from the light (the light is mounted on a wall about six feet off the ground, and pointed at a 45 degree angle). It seems that, as long as the limb was four feet or further away from the light, it did not "trigger" the light. The light will pick up body movement further away than that, but not a swaying limb. I hope this is helpful. Regards, Tom

It screws in to the socket and it has about two feet of wire to the sensor it works well some times my light is on, don't know why could be wind moving the bushes or a small animal. My light is in a spot that its own sensor won't work so this is away to put a sensor where you need it.

Yes, it works at night but that is very comforting for me. Even though the alarm might sound from a passing deer I like the peace of knowing it picks up everything. This is my third alarm and I will say this one was the simplest to install/set up and has worked great! The other ones worked about 2 years then quit. The sensor located outside is not noticed by visitors and once inside they are shocked when it alarms for an additional visitor passing up the driveway. It was a good purchase!

No. You just have to track the reflected laser red dot, which is very hard / impossible to see in bright sunlight at any significant distance. Works great at dusk outside over long distances, like the height of a 75Ft tree for example, and inside, of course.

No, it doesn't. There's a sensor that tells the light to only work when it's dark. Even during twilight it won't come on. Has to be pretty dark before it operates.

There is a 3 way switch on the light which allows dusk to dawn or motion sensing. The answer is the light is capable of both functions. I had a hard time getting it to be a motion light. It took many tries but finally it worked. It should not have taken so many tries.

I installed one on my back porch and it doesn't have a daylight sensor. It comes on day or night if it detects motion. Works good though.

Yes there is a sensor but it may not turn off on dark/cloudy days. Not an issue with this LED light. Electricity use is minimal.
