What is Amperage pull of motion sensor? I am guessing it is a low voltage and amperage sensor.

it goes between the light switch and the lights so it will be whatever the line amperage is for the lighting you want to control. Will be fine for normal outside lights which is where I have it.

My home security guys placed motion sensors lower the ground, then upside down...so the the sensor sees upward from where it's placed. This may work the same way.

Can't tell you. Recovering from hip surgery, upstairs, batteries are downstairs. I do know this is a bargain, batteries are fresh, and last a very long time in motion sensor lights. Hope this helps!

sorry I'm not that savy with what your saying. Should I put a volt meter on the 2 lines and physically trip the sensor itself and look for a voltage spike or a contunity test doing the same thing?

The sensor turns on/off what ever electrical load is connected to it. Check the amperage rating. like 15 amps or 20 amps; and that is the limit for one sensor. check the amperage draw for the decorate lights (will be somewhere on it)

Not a motion sensor. Does not shine bright either. I purchased it and tried to return it within 30 days and the vendor refused.

This has and internal piezoelectric sensor that activates based on the amount of flex or frequency amplitude that is imparted on the glass or whatever surface you have it mounted to. It's almost like a regular relay or reed switch with a little bit faster response. There is no current/power draw unless it is activated.

Quite possibly it is for short circuit deflection. Used as a way to stop a spark of static electricity from flowing back to the A?V receiver. Consider it a bit of extra protection in either case.

I,m not sure but I expect there is an incompatibility between the electronics of the motion sensor and the relay coil. If the relay works properly using an on/off switch, it is likely that the motion sensor not the relay is at fault.

These are just dummy cameras. There is no motion sensor in it just a blinking light. I installed mine show that it uses an AC power adapter. That way I do not have to keep changing batteries

Andy - I connected my contactor to a Variac and measured the coil current. I measured the following: Pull-in current 145mA to 155mA. Sustaining current 60mA. Drop out current about 30 mA. The solenoid buzzed really badly if the available current was LESS than 145 mA at pull-in, which leads me to believe that your problem is the output driver on the motion sensor can't provide enough current to pull the contactor in. You can measure the sensor output current to the contactor coil by CAREFULLY connecting a multimeter, set to the 10 amps AC scale, in series with your coil drive circuit, and monitor the amount of current it's putting out while the contactor buzzes. Be careful, 120 volts. If your driver can't provide the current to drive the contactor, one way around this would be to use a second, smaller relay to pull in the bigger contactor. Typical "ice-cube" 120v coil relays just require ~ 10-20 mA to pull in. Then this small relay's contacts could activate the coil of the larger contactor. If your motion sensor is providing the proper current then the problem may be related to noise, but I'd check your driver circuit's current capability first. Greg Walz greenlite350@aol.com

Yes a motion sensor is just another form of a switch the light doesn't know what's telling it to come on and doesn't care. Good to go.

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.

I purchased this item for a friend of mine. I called him & asked if he new the amperage. His reply was that it replaced an exiting unit & fit perfect & it worked off 12 volts. This item was used in his RV & replaced his old unit which is used to detect propane leaks. Hope this info is helpful.

Not good for motion sensor. They do take a bit of time to reach full light output....kind of defeats the purspose. But for general purpose flood wash that stays on for 3-4 hours at a time, pretty decent. I used special outside sealing tape for elec and coax connections to keep the water out of my light fixture. Light bulb does not fit with the rubber collar that comes with the socket.

This is for 12v and not for house current. You'd be better off getting a motion sensor at a Home Depot.

The sensor you are referring to is actually the switch itself. If you require an alarm, you may have to buy one and integrate it to the float switch wiring to provide the additional functionality.
