Does the Extender work in the dark/at night?

I dunno.. Last time I used a camera extender at night I lost three fingers.

Nope, you can only use it in the day time as the light sensors wont allow it to properly attach to your camera at night

Depends on if the bats are 5 megapixels or higher...higher tends to cause confusion in bats. Also the time of day directly relates to how rusty you camera will get if submerged in salt water with the XShot....something to think about.

I dont really understand qhat your asking ...... but yes! Also works better in the mornings

Excellent question. It could get tired after a whole day of use. But at night it will perform just as fine. If you use it in the dark though, you need to be careful with bats or other night birds bumping into it and getting confused. But you could also use it as a good deterrent, by swinging it around.

Yes it does. I like this feature because there are times when I'm working outside at night and need the light to stay on longer than the preset timer limit. When you want it to go back to normal, just turn it off for longer than 10 secs and turn it back on and you will be back to the preset. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it, but I think it would work at dusk or in the dark, as long as your distance isn't too great... Remember, all it does is give you a level -- You would have to measure vertically from the laser line based on the height of the laser at the base.

Yes it works best in a dark room. You do not see the lights during daylight.

I would agree with the previous responder. It only works in darkness but does work well

Yes, once the sensor knows it is dark - it becomes active. The unit stays off during daylight.

I bought and installed two of these. After dark they turn off and on at random times. One of them is pretty much on dawn to dusk every night - even though it is set for motion only. I say "pretty much" because some nights it works and some not. I do NOT recommend these lights.

It's on all night at a low level, and lights up when motion is detected for a few minutes. It has been working for months now.

If the garage is dark it will think it is night-time. IF there is any light because the door is open it will use the time out setting. My unit is inside the back of the garage but it still senses the light if the door is open. I do not think this will be an issue for you.... IMHO

The light does not have a setting to come on after dark only, it needs motion. It has an adjustment for setting motion sensitivity low,med., & high which works very will.

No, it works in darkness when there is motion, even limited motion; you'll love it!

We just set it up over the weekend. It works great. Light comes on when it is dark and still on at midnight. Highly recommend

No this piece of junk can't see at night, and good luck getting it to dee duly ring the day. I would recommend putting in a couple extra bucks for something else, especially if it's for security purposes!

Your extender can go as far as you like as long as the "eye" is pointed in the direction of sunlight. The control is not waterproof. The extender must not perform any other function other than extending electricity from the base of the light fixture to the Westek control, otherwise the light bulb will get mixed signals from the extender and the Westek control which may cancel each other out.

Yes, our experience with the light (before it completely stopped working), was that it was always on in the dark, albeit at reduced illumination. Once the motion sensor was activated, the light would temporarily get quite a bit brighter.
