does anyone know if this has a light sensor as well, or will it turn on during daylight hours if it senses motion

Yes. It has both a light sensor AND motion sensor. It must be a bit dark AND some motion for it to light up.

It won't come on in daytime unless you cast a shadow over it. I am very satisfied with mine. No luck with battery units, so this is great- a bit of electric, but works as stated.

It's continuously on from dusk till dawn. No motion sensor. Very bright light. I actually bought 4 units of these to light up various locations in my backyard.

Yes, our experience with the light (before it completely stopped working), was that it was always on in the dark, albeit at reduced illumination. Once the motion sensor was activated, the light would temporarily get quite a bit brighter.

Its doesn't have motion sensor. It's dawn to dusk. That red thing is light sensor.

Yes, that is correct. It has a built in motion detector. The light will come on when it senses any motion and turn off after the prescribed amount of time (I think its 10 mins).

The light has a photo cell that turns it off totally in daylight and only on when it detects motion at night. Mine never stays on all the time. My light did fail once manuf said water must have gotten inside but got it replaced under warranty. If yours is less than one yr old call them

There isn't any sort of motion sensor on this particular unit and therefore the comment about detection range isn't relevant. This unit operates on a light sensor, from dusk to dawn or however long the batteries allow (8 to 10 hours per full charge).

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..

The SL-4132MW is a Dusk to Dawn motion sensing light. It senses motion from dusk to dawn which activates the light to come on. It doesn't come on in the daylight because that's not what it is made for. Mine works perfect. Any time at night when the sensor detects movement the light will come on. Very good buy and great product for the money and is simple to install.

I have one and I'm pretty sure it is just a light sensor. without messing around with the electronics it only lights up if it is dark.

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.

It has a daylight sensor as well as a motion sensor so it only comes on when it is relatively dark.

The answer is yes. Think of this just like a light at the end of your 3 way circuit. If the light would turn on then the sensor would also be engaged. The light (down stream) from the sensor will be on as needed when the sensor detects motion and no daylight.

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.

The motion detector will not turn on the light during daylight hours if it detects motion. I have noticed that it needs to be relatively bright out, otherwise it will turn on. Darkness before a good thunderstorm, at dawn and dusk often is dark enough for the motion detector to turn on the light.

No, this is a motion sensing light meaning it turns on whenever it senses motion. It does not have any sensor related to if it is night or not. If you put it in a fixture that control whether it turned on if it was night or not it would likely work but the bulb itself is only motion sensor meaning it turns on with motion and turns off after around 60 seconds without motion.

I guess the answer to that is no. You can set it to be on during the day or have the light sensor will keep it off in daylight. I don't think the motion sensor it will turn it off and on in daylight. I have mine set to be off in daylight and to come on for 5 minutes at night in response to motion. If you had reason to have it turn off and on in daylight, you would probably have to cover the light sensor.
