Has anyone successfully used the sensor with LED lights?

I just found this email on March 30,sorry.Yes it would,the unit would supply power to what ever source you have it connected to,once triggered.

Its a straight 120 volt relay...it will work just fine as long as your fixture is made for led lights. I'm an electrician.

The units I have have a light sensor built in. They are marked model 9265/9266/9267.

Similar issues - the sensor needs direct sunlight in order to turn off. Late in the day is probably when the sensor is getting the most sunlight. My sensors didn't work at all.

This is ere I am using it. LED light is NOT supposed to attract bugs and has MUCH lower power consumption. Hope this helps!

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.

We purchased three of these and one with motion sensing. We eventually gave up trying to make the sensing features work. We now have them on a simple switched that our electrician installed

I am currently trying to get it to work, the software loads fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the sensor. I sent an email to the manufacturer, will let you know if I get a response.

This model does have a light sensor and turns on a dusk and off at dawn. I have been using it for years with no problems.

Yes, the brightness of the IR LEDs is controlled by the sensor. The less light the brighter the LEDs. The sensor has an IR filter so it does not see IR as light.

The sensor does not work. We use it in place of the candle for when the electricity goes out. Rather than the original purpose

I have mine connected to a motion sensor and it works fine. However, there is a noticeable delay in the turn on time

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

I tried using another sensor from a different set along with the sensor that came with the receiver it did not work. Sorry.

Yes- I mounted the senor on an exterior LED light assembly over the front door. I modified the light enclosure to accept the sensor and wired it into the 115 volt wiring inside the light without a problem. Worked first time!

No. I'm using several of these sensors. You do need a controller to link the sensor to actions, like turning on lights or sending an email. The controller is more flexible if it is connected to the internet, or at least a LAN, but it's possible to do useful things without that.

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.

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