This light comes on during the daytime when the sun is bright and not a cloud in the sky. I thought it would NOT come on during the daytime.

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

The bulb has a motion sensor, not a light sensor. I use mine in the laundry room so that when I come in carrying a full basket, I don't have to fumble for the light switch. It works day and/or night. For the outdoor post light, next to my driveway, I have a light sensor bulb (not from ChiChinLighting) that I leave on 24/7. It goes off at dawn and on at dusk. That's the type of bulb you want, unless you can find a light bulb with BOTH a motion sensor and light sensor so that it only comes on when it senses movement at night.

Is this a question? I'm pretty sure this is a motion activated light not a light activated.
1131056
The light comes on during the day when it senses motion. We'd like it to not come on during the daytime, but it's not that smart.
1131057
This is a motion sensor. It has nothing to do with the amount of light in the room. I think you're confusing this with the nightlights that come on at night. Not the same thing.

light is defective-----will come on if placed in dark entre way but should go out as soon as object leaves

No, this is a motion sensing light meaning it turns on whenever it senses motion. It does not have any sensor related to if it is night or not. If you put it in a fixture that control whether it turned on if it was night or not it would likely work but the bulb itself is only motion sensor meaning it turns on with motion and turns off after around 60 seconds without motion.

6Shooter - it takes a few minutes to go out. Don't know exact timeout, but its approximately 60-90 secs.Yes, light comes on regardless of already having lighted area... motion sensor, not light sensor. Remember, this is LED, so energy consumption is still low.

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.

Yes, it comes on near dusk. I have not checked to see what time it fades out at.

It is so automatic that I really do not think about it. However, it starts coming on at dusk or when it really becomes cloudy, and thus is brightly shining when it becomes dark and it is time for it to "do it's thing"

Loaded question... Bright day only about 10-20 yrds... Outdoors at dusk, heavy cloud cover, dark ... YES

No it only goes on when someone or something passes near it and stays on bright for approx. a minute. I have seen the light on at 5 am the next morning.

It requires at least 3 hours of direct sunlight. . It has worked well for the past year or so. . during the months were I get more sunlight it is brighter. . during winter months the light is not as potent. . but it still turns on when it senses movement

It's pretty bright during the day. Other's have said that this outshines most of the other lights. I don't know what lumens it produces, though

This fixture does have a night and moon glow feature that would be not as bright as the daytime bulb. The daytime bulb is not dimmable.

Yes, it works in the daytime. No, it won't work if turned off by the switch.

You have to follow the instruction on which direction to place the panel, I think it said southwest. If you do that and it's sunny all day, then you should have light through the night. But if it's cloudy or it rained the whole day, the light will only stay on for a short time. In most part, this light is pretty good. I have 4 of these lights around my house.

Usually just during the day and evening. It would make a good nightlight, I just hadn't thought of using it that way.

Sun shining on sensor, then cloud passing by, might set it off, due to heat change. And daylight has no different effect on sensing object than at night, basically. The red sensor light is hard to see days and at night, its' short flash is easily missed.

No, I don't recall writing that. If I did, I must have been suffering from the sun myself. The light does not come on during the day. It comes on about 30 minutes after sundown on a low setting. If motion is detected it comes on nice and bright for about 30 seconds and then goes back to the dim setting. It stays active the entire night.

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.

It is a very bright light but you are not supposed to look directly at it. Bright enough that it is difficult to look directly at it even on the "low" setting. It is meant to sit off to the side of you and only for a half hour to an hour.

The light will turn on as soon as has some charge and disconnect from solar panel. Not sure if this is what you wanted but it is possible to use during day as long as solar is covered or disconnected from light.

That is when it is set on dusk to dawn mode. Should turn on when dark off when light
