If you screw the bulb in and the sensor faces the house, can it be adjusted so the sensor faces outwards?

The base of the bulb allows you to turn the bulb about one quarter of a turn after it is seated in the socket. However, it is not necessary for it to function properly.

I have four; one has the sensor facing the house and is a few inches from the wall. It does not affect its ability to detect light and it turns on and off at the same time as the others.

No, you'd just have to leave the light bulb a little looser to adjust the position of the sensor; not ideal. However, I have one of these in a light fixture and facing my house and it turns off and on just fine... ambient light seems to be enough to keep the bulb off, direct sunlight is not necessary.

If you use a small screw driver you may be able to lighty lift up the center contact to allow the bulb to connect in the direction you need. Do this only with the POWER OFF to the fixture. It worked for me.

They have changed this bulb and the sensor no longer rotates. So, it is possible if you screw it in, it may face the back of the fixture. Not good.

Yes it will as long as you hang bulb upside down as the sensor is on top of bulb!

I believe that you can by using the settings switch, if that doesn't work....Duct tape over the sensor.

I have not tried it for that purpose but the light bulb only points directly in one direction..up or down depending on which way the socket is pointing. It is more for ambience that anything.

No, the brackets channel or opening runs parallel to the lens/LEDS. So which ever way the light is facing the mounting bracket is also facing.

As the other two respondents said, I believe you could ceiling mount it, but it would not hang as in the photo because the mounting screw is on the back. The sensor would be pointing downward and the light would be angled 45 degrees from how it is pictured. All in all, I doubt it would be a good idea. Additionally, since it requires an electrical mounting ( it is not battery operated) it would require running wire and installing the outlet in the overhang.

While I haven't tried to do it, I believe that you can add a sensor to this unit. I can't find it on Amazon, but here's the link to Home Depot. Again, I haven't tried it, but this is clearly the sensor that's with this unit. http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202216934?productId=202216934&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_sku=202216934&cm_mmc=shopping%2d%5f%2dgoogleads%2d%5f%2dpla%2d%5f%2d202216934&ci_gpa=pla

You could but you might would have to put some kind of wedge underneath te light to get the correct angle you wanted.

It shouldnt be a problem. If you can tell night from day where the sensor is mounted, it should work fine. Just make sure the sensor is pointed in the direction of the open daylight area.

no there are no adjustments available besides the 2 tone leves. we have the sensor zip tied to a stake and its aimed at te house. im sure its hackable/

You can adjust the height of the lights and the orientation. The brightness, however, is not adjustable unless you buy better bulbs.

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)

Yes, easily screwed into any standard light fixture. If there is any type of shade over the fixture, make sure you have extra room for the motion sensor. No shade, no problem

Yes, that is how we did it and it works well. Be aware you will be drilling a hole through the wall by it, to pull the sensor head and wire through, and when you're done, you'll have to fill the hole on inside and outside walls (with fixall and caulk, probably).

We just had canned lighting installed in our kitchen and my husband realized there is something inside the can that can be adjusted to determine how far the bulb sticks out. He adjusted several to see where I preferred the bulb to sit within the can. I'm sure yours must have this feature also.

If you have a sensor this can happen adjust the angle it, I adjusted my sensor so the light goes on solid all the time.

I had and have the same problem with 2 of my sensors. One I was able to correct by changing the orientation of the bulb insertion. The other I have just accepted since reinserting the bulb did not work
