Would this comes on if there's enough dusk-to-dawn light through a window, where one can still see your path and don't need any additional lighting?

I personally find this unit very sophisticated and not once when it has been on have I thought, "well that's silly--I can see my way!
785992
Hard to say without seeing your application but if it's dark the light will come on
785993
Yes, it does come on when there is enough light to see in the room. It only stays on a short time though. I look at it this way. So far, there's nothing on the market that can get the nightlight feature exactly right so if I have to spend a few pennies a year when this thing comes on during the day time, I can live with that. If you absolutely need it off during the day, you might plug it into a timer but the cost of a timer and the fact that a timer runs all day along with your motion sensor might increase your pennies to nickels or dimes. These are nice and I think most people will agree compared to any other plug and play available off the shelf. Yes, it does come on when there is enough light to see in the room.

since this is most effective in a darkened room, if the room is too bright it is not visible or effective from outside the building. I do not have any problem with the lighting level when it turns itself on or off. You may want to try repositioning the one you have so the back of the unit is exposed to the light coming in from a window.

Yes, enough so I can use it in the dark if necessary. There's a key to turn it on and off.

Not really.see shadows sort of. If you had a lite and it was dark out than you could see more than you wanted. I would buy a better quality one.

Yes, it would work fine. The sensor is located in the post and below the light fixture. The frosted glass therefore will not affect the sensor's ability to detect motion. It can be set to come on at dusk for the amount of time you set. It works perfectly and mine is one of the best purchases I have made.

The light sensor is on top of the unit, so it might not work if it 's in the shade all the time.

There is a 3 way switch on the light which allows dusk to dawn or motion sensing. The answer is the light is capable of both functions. I had a hard time getting it to be a motion light. It took many tries but finally it worked. It should not have taken so many tries.

I would have to say yes. It gives off about as much light as a dim candle, and flickers as well. I wouldn't say it's completely "safe" to wander around with only this at night, but I manage just fine.

Absolutely not! It's blinding. You should only use it when there's enough light for you to see where you're walking.

No it is dusk to dawn so it comes on if you move in front of it at dark. I have had mine installed on a porch for about 6 months now and the battery is still working great. Gives off just enough light but not overly bright.

Depends, if your pathway is very dark (no streetlights) then yes it would be bright enough.

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 :-)

It is hard to say, I find that it does not come on until it is dark. For the price I would try it, works fine for my application. You can always move the location of the device.

Yes, I've put it under the roof overhang and elsewhere, facing North, where there's no much light. It will reflect anylight you have.

You won't know until you are in a darkens place or at night ; light is too faint to be seen in daylight

It will make things viewable in a 10x14 shed, it is not enough light to do a project. Windows should have no effect on the light.

A bit if it's very bright, like direct sunlight. Enough to tell there's a light behind it.
