Will this bulb's sensor work when the bulb is recessed in a ceiling fixture and behind a white-frosted glass cover?

I doubt if any IR sensor will work behind glass, frosted or not. The glass itself will put a consistent temperature right in front of the sensor and anyone moving across the room is not going to change the temperature of that glass cover.

i doubt it. i have mounted it horizontally in a pantry approximately 1.5 ft ovrhd. i need to wave overhed to activate.

You might have motion detection issues if the lamp is behind a white-frosted glass cover, but I have no way of testing. I mounted mine in a recessed can-style porch fixture though, by using an adapter - the kind that adds two outlets to a light socket, with a chain pull switch (which I leave on for this application).

It works fine recessed in a can light but I don't have any additional glass over it. So I'm not sure.

My Amzdeal Motion Sensor is located in an unobstructed and works well there. In order to answer your question, I installed it in my bathroom fixture which is the closest thing I have to a recessed ceiling with a white -frosted glass cover fixture. Unfortunately it did not work.

Yes, they've worked in both of my frosted porch fixtures. But if it's a dreary cloudy day, they stay off sometimes. But I just turn them off with the light switch. No big deal.

They have changed this bulb and the sensor no longer rotates. So, it is possible if you screw it in, it may face the back of the fixture. Not good.

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

It should work, if worry about heat transfer if the bulb is to close unless it led or cfl.

You will be fine. The sensors are above the light fixture will not affect one another, it shines down and outward

I think so. If it is flush mounted to a wall the sensor will not point straight down but should still pick up movement from underneath it. The lights will get close but cannot go straight down without hitting the motion sensor.

You do have to make sure the sensor (the little pointed nub that's on top in the photo) is pointed down & not covered by a glass globe or lamp shade. Then it works perfectly.

Probably will not work as it's a motion sensor. If the shade impairs the sensing, it won't work. The sensor is in the black band.

It shouldnt be a problem. If you can tell night from day where the sensor is mounted, it should work fine. Just make sure the sensor is pointed in the direction of the open daylight area.

Definitely reflections from the light when turned on is triggering the sensor to go off. Example, if the light is under the eves of the roof or under an over hanging, the light will reflect off of that and sense daylight and go off. Point the sensor away from reflective light/towards the sky and it will work. Thanks. Sonny.

No I don't believe it will work that way. The light will be dim, and go brighter when motion is detected. I don't believe you can cover up the motion sensor without also covering up the Day/Night sensor as well, as it's all behind the same sensor "window".

yes, it will work . the bulb can be used in both outdoor and indoor setting as long as its in a full or semi closed enclosurecheers

I think what you are trying to do will work. The sensor and the lamps are adjustable in multi direction. You just need to be sure to shield the sensor from the lights and you will be ok.

It should, you can set the sensitivity level and the length of time the light stays on.

Mine did not work. Also the wattage capacity is reduced when the bulb is pointed down for some reason. Buy the Phillips combination light/sensor

Do not try to use the light bulb in nightlight with an automatic sensor. Make sure there is a dedicated on/off switch.
