Can you remove the motion detector so that you can screw the base into a light fixture in tight area and then reattach the motion sensor?

Yes, the sensor can be removed and replaced. It may depend on the position it's in after it's screwed in.

I dont know, I didnt need to do that. I have mine screwed into a double light holder that is attache to the house. I love it and still working.

This fixture comes with the motion sensor attached. It is the white device hanging down from the middle. I undid the wiring and screwed out the motion sensor. Then I screwed in a half-inch plug to plug the hole. No need to have the motion sensor hanging down there if you are not using it. From there it is fairly straightforward to wire the fixture without the motion sensor.

no, the sensor is housed in that little thing sticking up out of the unit in the photo. it's connected by a short wire to the unit so i imagine you could cut it and attach your own sensor to it.

Mine's hard wired in, but I would think it could be hooked up to a motion detector.

I'm sure you could since the light sensor is just an inline module. If you leave it off just put it on a switchable circuit or you'll have to splice the line, which might mess with the waterproof nature of the line.

I think that is no problem. I used with motion sensor it works perfectly. this is just extension that is not effect to switch nor light bulb functional.

There is not an on/off switch for the motion detector. http://www.naturepowerproducts.com/doc_db/2205060ledsolarsecuritylightmanualv1.1-e.pdf

I believe the knob acts as a nut, so I'm sure you could replace it with a regular nut. Not sure who would want to steal a light bracket, though, as long as you take the light with you.

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

I never try that but if you know how to connect it, it should. I assume you use the motion sensor as a power switch.

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.

I would think you could but it was not designed that way,I'm not sure how the motion sensor would work,,,

No...it is a motion detector light only. You probably would need an electrician to put a timer on your light switch or you can buy a socket timer where you screw the timer into where your light bulb goes and then you screw the bulb into it. Good luck

After reading the six responses, all are correct. Cut power, drop light fixture away from mounting box (1 or 2 screws), unscrew sensor from face plate, cut three wires, install new sensor, wire nut the 3 wires back to original connected wires (mine were red, black, white) reattach sensor to face plate and face plate to mounting box. Done.

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.

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.

The item I bought has the motion detector with it, now if you are wanting to add another one I don't know if you can do it with this one without purchasing another unit. Hope this helps!
