Can this unit be strictly programmed as a dusk to dawn sensor (at full brightness not half) ? I do not want to use the motion sensor part of it.

This is from the product description....In DualBrite mode, you can choose 3 hours, 6 hours, or dusk to dawn. When constant light is needed, this motion-activated light has a manual override mode that allows it to function as switch-controlled light for constant on, dusk-to-dawn lighting.

Sorry, I never installed the ones that I bought. I returned them because the sealant around the sensor lens was so sloppy and would be visible to people entering my house.

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.

It can be set to come on dusk to dawn, or set to come on when it detects motion. It can also be set to stay on for 1to 20 minutes after it senses motion. The sensitivity to motion can also be controlled, but that takes manual adjusting. All controls are on the unit, so if it's mounted up high, you need to go up and down the ladder until you have te settings to your preference. Overall, it's turned out to be the best motion sensor light we've installed.

Yes you can. The motion sensor has to be compatible to LED lights.Leviton IPS02-1LW 300-Watt Incandescent, 150-Watt LED/CFL Occupancy Sensor (Auto ON/Auto OFF), Single Pole, is one example. Regards. DJ

No, you can't override any of the activities except to turn on or shut the entire unit off using a pin switch. The switch disconnects the battery so the light doesn't come on during shipment or handling. It arrives in the "off" position and you must turn it on after installation or it won't work. If the light were to remain on, the battery would discharge in an hour or two and the unit would turn off. The brief "on" time is to preserve the battery life so it will function most of the night. It will emit a glow (low power) as soon as it gets dark so you can actually see in the immediate area. It will brighten for about 30 seconds when the motion sensor activates it. The glow is about like a 10 watt bulb and the bright is about like a 60 watt bulb. Hope this helps.

Yes. It will not come on during the day when it senses motion, but the little red light on the sensor will blink.

Not exactly, but somewhat. Has a light sensor which turns it on at dusk. Can program to stay on for anywhere from one to eight hours after that and it turns off automatically by timer.

There is a little dial on the sensor for adjustment. I believe it can be run dusk till dawn.

If it was powered by regular power it might have that option, but since it's battery powered once the sensors realize it's night it automatically turns on when movement is detected. No need to mess with any switches.

I bought this light a few months back and love it! It is a dawn to dusk sensor NOT a motion sensor.

I'm sure the light sensor would not work well. Ours triggered on very cloudy dark days. You could use it as a standard light though.

Yes. It can turn lights on and off at dusk and dawn. It uses an odd setup that turns any device that is set at unit code +1 on and off according to daylight - so if you do not want this feature, you will need to avoid setting any device at the trigger code +1. It can also be set to only sense motion after dark and not respond during daylight. It's a major pain to setup, but does what it says at an incredible price.

Yes it can be. Just put a switch in the normal way. Or you could rewire it inside and bypass the dusk to dawn feature.

This illuminator switch on at daylight, switch off at night, it's have not the motion detect function, can only sense light

It is not a dusk to dawn light. It turns on when it senses motion. I installed mine in a dark hallway coming inform the garage. The light comeson and goes off in about 30 seconds or so. Works great.

There is NO MOTION SENSOR ON THIS FIXTURE. It is strictly a dusk to dawn unit. You could wire in a separate motion sensor to control the light. If the fixture "sees" daylight it will turn off. I don't know of a reason to have the light on unless it was "dark".

We actually added a dusk to dawn sensor to ours and it has worked fine for about 4 years now. There is a small amount of surface rust that can be fixed with a quick coat of Rustloeum. We're in Ohio where the weather isn't always the best.
