can you put a motion sensor on this light
473776
no, but... if you get a conduit box-cover with two threaded holes and add a circuit for the motion detector you are able to convert this unit.

Yes, you simply need to add it to the outdoor floodlight socket holder base plate that the unit does NOT come with, and then wire accordingly,

You can connect a motion sensor to any light. It screws into a standard outdoor box into which you can install a sensor on the front cover. The cover has the same thread as the top of the box for the light fixture. Motion sensors have the same.

I think you can put one on any light. Go to Lowes or Home Depot - there is usually one guy over 16 that can help you out.

If you search for "insteon module" there are indoor and outdoor versions you can plug into an outlet and control with the motion sensor. I use the outdoor one to control path lighting.

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.

Probably not, suggest contacting manufacturer first. Shop around, I have bought 1 new and 4 at garage sales and eBay and Craig's list. I have 3 yards to light up. I only use motion sensor option.

Yes. You can slide the switch to ON and it will act like a regular light switch. Or you can slide it to AUTOMATIC (you adjust the timer to your liking) and it will act like a sensor. I have had my sensors (6) for over 3 years and love them. They were cheaper on Amazon than Lowes or Home Depot.

Sure. Just cover the light sensor with a piece of tape or something that blocks light and they will be 100% motion sensing.

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".

Short answer is no; however, you can put dark tape or blackout the motion sensor to effectively make the flood operate like a normal light on a switch.

Yes. If you turn the light off manually it will not immediately respond to motion to turn it back on, but after a minute or so it will resume the motion sensor function.

Yes it should come with a motion sensor setting. You can select and program each camera in the settings menu.

Its a very nice idea, but I think the only way would be installing a seperate motion senser and then tie it into the wires that power the light. Such that the lightswitch is always on, but the light only comes on via the motion sensor.

No it does not work like a motion sensor. It does have a light sensor so if the lights in the room are on the nightlight will turn off. The nightlight will also go off if the sensor is blocked by people walking by it. I would really like to find a nightlight that would only come on when you are near it.

I think so. If it is flush mounted to a wall the sensor will not point straight down but should still pick up movement from underneath it. The lights will get close but cannot go straight down without hitting the motion sensor.

No. The unit has a light sensor that will not allow motion sensor to turn on until dark.

This motion sensing light with a 100 watt bulb will detect any motion. Since my light ficture was put in the wall by the builder it is 1 foot down from the ceiling on the wall and faces outward. The unit works as I walk into the room from my Kitchen. You will not have any trouble putting into the socket and then put in the light bulb. You will notice on the socket how to place it to let it detect any thing 360 degrees. Mine lasted over 10 years or better before it went out. This one is brand new and I think it will last until I die..I am 82

No. Under bright light or daylight, the lights will not come on when it senses motion.

Yes, but it's buried in the 8 pages of instructions with very tiny print, and to get to the point where you disable the motion sensor, you have to go through a long sequence of setting other options. I did it once, but after a power outage reset the unit and the motion sensor defaulted back to ON, I disconnected the unit and put it in a drawer. I don't anticipate using it again.
