Can this light be used with a motion sensor?

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'm sure you can. You only need to purchase or have a good motion detector connected as a switch

Yes you can. If you look at a picture of it where the wire comes out is a swivel and where the sensor is, is another swivel. the motion sensor get mounted to the face plate of a electrical box. Hope this helps.

Yes it's excellent for outdoor light but wont recommend using it for motion-detection.

I don't see any reason that you can't. The 5412 is the entire light fixture with the motion sensor. This is just the sensor part. It's probably the same exact sensor.

Hi patrick,I never purchased a motion sensor, just the switch, so I can't really comment on it's functions.

This unit should work just fine...it just needs darkness and motion. I have been using the Mr. Beams (MB723 Battery-Powered Motion-Sensing LED Stick-Anywhere Nightlight, 3-Pack) for inside my house and they work great and are a cheaper option.

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.

You can install a dimmer but this motion light is not designed to run that way the light will hum really bad and motion sensor does not work well when dimmed.

Yes. The unit is just a switch. I use CFLs in outdoor lights controlled by this motion sensor and it works well.

Is it really? "Compatible" not just that it will light up but it will light up and not burn out in days or weeks. In my experience, motion sensors don't play nice with CFLs. I've tried several brands in a protected outdoor floodlight fixture and all have died an early death ranging from days to maybe 6-18 months at best. It gets tripped by our dog for maybe an hour or less total on-time every night.Maybe it's time to invest in some LED PAR38s or BR40s.

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.

Yes! This light will work for you application as long as the sensor inside the glass is pointed in the direction of you remote.

I have two --- one works great on motion sensor. The other has proven very difficult to get the settings right. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of patience.

I believe that the motion sensor will activate the light without having to record, the record function has a separate on/off switch.This unit does require hard wiring, it does not run on batteries.

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.

Motion sensor should work equally well with horizontal outlet. There is no specific reason for it to be vertical.The light is not heavy enough to cause a "twisting" problem in the outlet. It should work just fine. Have 3 of these, and all work perfectly.
