I want to use a motion light in a lazy Susan cabinet. I need it to work in daylight as well and go on with motion when we start to rotate the shelf. I tried others that are night lights and they will not work if there is even a little bit of light....

This works in daylight but if the lazy Susan's movement is what you want to activate it, it won't do it. It needs human movement. I put my light on my kitchen cabinet to make sure it worked in the daylight. The light I have has the sensor on the edge of one corner and has 10 little lights. It was $6.99

Search amazon.com for microswitch and you will see lots of choices. You'll have to work out an enclosure for the wiring. A motion sensor might also work mounted in a handy box inside the cabinet. Search amazon for "motion switch for lights" .

No it does not work like a motion sensor. It does have a light sensor so if the lights in the room are on the nightlight will turn off. The nightlight will also go off if the sensor is blocked by people walking by it. I would really like to find a nightlight that would only come on when you are near it.

It doesn't turn on in a lit area. I would say it would have to be about the darkness of dusk or darker in order for the light to turn on when motion is detected.

Hi William, this light is 4.5" in diameter and responds to motion and heat. I'm not the expert here but seems to me that placement of this light under the cabinet fixture in the kitchen might not be the best model of light get. If it's placed underneath the cabinet, I would think you'd have to do some hand or arm-waving to activate it but then it'll turn itself off once the movement stops. But then, you could adjust it to stay on constantly. If the light is placed on the wall that is beneath the cabinet, it'll definitely turn on when it senses movement/heat but if it's in so close proximity to your eyes, I think it's safe to say, you'd need a very DARK pair of SUNGLASSES to protect yourself from the intense glare from this automatic light. I guess the thought here, is having adequate height, distance and field of motion to consider this lighting for your under-a-cabinet fixture in the kitchen. It's a very good auto-light but may not be your best solution to lighting up your kitchen area. That's just a thought.

Its a very nice idea, but I think the only way would be installing a seperate motion senser and then tie it into the wires that power the light. Such that the lightswitch is always on, but the light only comes on via the motion sensor.

There is a dim light during dark hours when there is no motion, when there is motion it only comes on for about 30 seconds if the motion stops. It stays off completely in daylight.

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).

I think this light would work perfect in that situation. I have experimented with the settings of mine and found that the motion sensor is just as sensitive in a lighted environment as in the dark. Also, the brightness is great enough to add extra illumination, even in already lit areas.

With the switch set to the right place motion will turn the light on at any time. In another position it will come on with motion at night and stay off during the day.

We love this light in our pantry, which used to be a kitchen black hole, but this little light comes on with any motion near by, and then goes off in about a minute if it doesn't detect any further motion. We keep the pantry door closed most of the time, so we couldn't be sure it would be the same in a larger space like a closet. Hope this helps

Hi Roberta, it depends on how dark the shaded area is during the day. I have two lights inside my home, away from direct, natural lighting. Except on very overcast days, the lights have not been activated by motion. I think it is worth considering.

It's designed as a nightlight or other dim type bulb. It would not work well in a Refrigerator. It's too dim & the LED array does not emit an even light.

no motion, i have 5 of the same 2 bulb fixtures hooked up on one switch. turn on and off at my leisure. if you buy them invest in LED bulbs. they may cost more, but are worth it. they deliver the best light, and dont attract as many bugs as regular bulbs.

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

It is for stationary lights only. I don't believe there is anything on this that would actually give you the ability to remotely move the light.

If I Understand Your Question Correctly & You Place The RiteLight Above The Painting On The Same Wall, No It Wont Work Because The Lights Themselves Wont Rotate To A 90 Degree Angle.If You Place Your Painting On The Wall & Then Place The RiteLite In The Same Direction As The Painting Is Hanging On The Wall On The Ceiling And At Least 1 Ft Away From The Painting Itself, It Will Work Just Like The Lighting You See In In A Gallery Or Museum. PS I Would Screw The Fixture To The Ceiling.
