Does this light have a photo (day/night) sensor or just the motion detector? I've seen lights that stay off during the day, is this one of them?

it has both. and for both these attributes you can easily adjust the range of each. so if you want the light to come outside of pitch black darkness you can set it for a lighter range. same with motion, you can adjust for intensity. This is my second RAB light and I am thrilled with their quality. I have these at my house in the Caribbean where the elements are super harsh and they last. they cost more but you get what you pay for with these. One other thing I noticed. blowing tree limbs or branches do not set off the motion, just moving objects like people, cars or dogs. Well done.

Yes, it has a photo day/night sensor, but you can disable it if you'd like. These lights do stay off during the day.

The motion detector will not turn on the light during daylight hours if it detects motion. I have noticed that it needs to be relatively bright out, otherwise it will turn on. Darkness before a good thunderstorm, at dawn and dusk often is dark enough for the motion detector to turn on the light.

No. These are not motion detector capable. I have been very happy with the light. During the summer months with good overhead sun, (for 6 hours) they would generally stay lit for about 8 hours. Since fall has begun, we have noticed that they are not getting the same amount of sun, and do not stay lit as long at night.

The sensor light does not stay on after movement or motion stops. I never timed it, but it goes off after a couple of seconds. Your batteries will last. I haven't replaced mine yet and i still give it 5 stars.

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected.B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

Its doesn't have motion sensor. It's dawn to dusk. That red thing is light sensor.

Yes, it is a motion detector. But it only works when the light level is low. I wanted it to work anytime there was motion, so I put a piece of black tape over the photocell detector and it works fine. I just couldn't make it work the way the instructions said, and tech support couldn't help. Good Luck. Terry

The night light sensor does work. It turns off there is light around it. However the night light is really bright!

This unit doesn't have a day/night function. It has on, off and auto. I have it in a dimly lit hallway and it works day and night. Whenever I walk in the hallway it comes on day and night. This one works whether there is light or not, it is a motion light.

It has a push button in the center of the fixture. After you turn it on it will go off after several minutes. No motion detectors.

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.

When there's no motion it does not turn on. When it does come on it stays on for about 30 sseconds after the motion subsides. I'm not aware of any motion sensing solar lights that stay on all night.

No, these fixtures do not have light or motion sensors. They are traditional on/off fixtures, although I use mine with a dimmer switch. There are traditional looking fixtures that incorporate light and motion detection, but these are not that type.

It's a motion detector. It's installed in my bedroom closet and when all the lights are off and I've opened the closet door it turns on. Then goes off by itself. I like it a lot. A bit heavy for my use as it's really a porch light but, what the hey,...it fit my needs and it's attractive.

Yes, that is correct. It has a built in motion detector. The light will come on when it senses any motion and turn off after the prescribed amount of time (I think its 10 mins).

Pat, the light works with a motion defection sensor and has several time on settings. This is not a light that goes on dawn to dusk type. Settings vary from 1-15 minutes.I hope this helps you. I love this light.

No this light does not have a motion sensor. They look great on the wall, very industrial look. I bet if you look at big box hardware store there is probably some screw in attachment to light bulb to make it a motion sensor.We have them on a dimmer and we use them as our kitchen nighttime lights. Hope this helps. I wish they spun around like emergency lights on TV when the aliens breach the secured facility.....more info then you wanted huh have a good day.
