Is this fixture strictly "dusk-to-dawn" or would it come on when it detects motion indoors in a dark basement any time of day?

It's a motion detector. It's installed in my bedroom closet and when all the lights are off and I've opened the closet door it turns on. Then goes off by itself. I like it a lot. A bit heavy for my use as it's really a porch light but, what the hey,...it fit my needs and it's attractive.

It is not a dusk to dawn light. It turns on when it senses motion. I installed mine in a dark hallway coming inform the garage. The light comeson and goes off in about 30 seconds or so. Works great.

Mine is mounted to an outdoor entrance ceiling. The light does not turn on in daylight, it comes on with motion in the dark. It also has a timer you set for how long it will remain on after the motion detection leaves the detection zone. It also can be set up to favor a certain direction and distance of motion to turn the light on.

It's considered "dusk-to-dawn" due to that's when it would operate when set outside. It would work indoors at any time. I'm even tempted to buy more for the closets I keep forgetting to turn switches off :-)

When dark the light is on all the time at a LOW level. When motion is detected the light is ON much BRIGHTER for about 10 seconds and then goes back to the LOW level once the motion is gone. Very important to have the unit mounted so it gets lots of SUN light during the day to recharge the batteries!

No, I don't believe it can be used for dusk to dawn lighting. Mine only comes on when motion is detected.

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

I have my lights set for motion and they only come on after dark. I would think the night light mode would do the same.

Pat, the light works with a motion defection sensor and has several time on settings. This is not a light that goes on dawn to dusk type. Settings vary from 1-15 minutes.I hope this helps you. I love this light.

No this light fixture isn't dusk to dawn but has a motion sensor which can be set 5, 10, or 15 minutes for the light. However, it's great for back porch and yard. You can buy a photo sensor to make it dusk to dawn. Any local hardware store should have them and they're inexpensive.

If you mean, does it come on at dusk and go off a dawn, no. This is a motion sensor light that only works in the dark. Also note, I have other motion lights (120v and much brighter) on my garage. When they are on, this light won't come on because it too light around my front door.

This illuminator switch on at daylight, switch off at night, it's have not the motion detect function, can only sense light

The "ON" time is adjustable. I'm moving light into a barn because rain got inside the motion-sensor housing with water condensation on the translucent surface. After that, the light only occasionally responded to motion.

Yes works fine in a fully dark basement. You may have to wave your arm to get it to activate, but that would be because my sensor is between other things and has a small angle to pick up motion.

Remember, it is motion-activated, not light-activated. I have noticed that the bulb I have in the basement (and there are two windows in the area) does come on (briefly) when I enter that section. I don't see it as a problem because it is on for only a couple of minutes.

My experience is that these bulbs only detect movement not light . They do come on during the day if the garage is dark.

You can set them to go dim dusk to dawn and bright when motion detected.Mine work well,good luck.

It has to be dark to trigger or dusk, you can turn on manually to test with time length button at the base of the lenses. This motion light is very durable and very motion sensitive, I keep three, just for backups, I have tried many motion lights that are blind and a waste of money, You can mount these anywhere with two sheet rock screws. I mount these outside where the rain hits them, I drill holes at base of bulb for drainage. Hope this helps?

Yes, it only works in the dark, dusk to dawn. I've had mine for several months and it works great.

Yes, that is correct. It has a built in motion detector. The light will come on when it senses any motion and turn off after the prescribed amount of time (I think its 10 mins).
