Sorry, I'm not clear on this... can this light (be set to) operate in the presence of other light or must the space be "dark"?

I have four of them installed in my apt bldg stairwell. They have a motion detector function and a day/nite/other lite source detector. I have the day/nite function off so they light 24/7 on motion. Some spots in the stairs are a little dark even in daytime. They are not the brightest light but do for my purposes.

Yes, sort of. If wired through a conventional light switch, then cycling the power will put it in "manual mode," in which case it will remain on until turned off again. On power up once again, it goes into automatic mode and will use the light and motion sensors.The manual is available online from their website:http://www.heath-zenith.com/servsup_manual.cgi

My unit is approximately 4 feet from a porch light which stays on throughout the night, and there has not been a problem. It is a great unit, perfect for our needs.

It's motion activated so I do not know if another light in the area will affect it or not. Mine is in a stairwell.

It is activated by motion. There is a switch that you can set to adjust sensitivity, so that it will work with other light around. You can also add a little shield over a portion of the sensor, where it won't see motion or light, to make it ignore windows, or trees rustling in wind.

It responds to motion regardless if it is light or dark. We have ours on a timer to not respond during the day. If not for the timer, it would respond all day and light up to all motion all day.

Yes, it can be. I have 3 of these and have covered the sensor (the small little hole, not the white translucent plastic bulge), and that way the sensor turns the light on if there is motion day or night. I see someone else said no, but I don't think they did it right, because it works on all 3 of mine. PS - I used black electrical tape so that the sensor would be well blacked out.

It shouldn't be too bright especially since you can control the angle of the light. Worse case scenario? Try it, and if it doesn't work it's very handy for a lot of other things....or send it back. I think you'll like it.

no the light is very dim, even two will not be sufficient especially if it is a work space.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

This light works very well in very dark conditions...an unlit closet or as a motion detecting night light in a dark room. I do not think it will be suitable for the purposes you have in mind.

It depends on the wattage of the other lights. Too much light out of balance will make a poor picture and difficult to make the proper settings.

Not sure i understand your question. The setup you describe is what this product is designed to do. I setup my exterior light that way. It works great. For an interior light not sure why you want this setup. Isn't there a motion light switch that can do something similar.

Yes that is what it was designed for. If you use in an outside light it does best with an outside light cover that is not opaque or reflects the light back unto itself. This tends to shut them off periodically and it may take a while for them to come back on. Also if you are using more than one, say for example a set of garage lights. They should ideally be 10 feet or more apart so they don't cause each other to shut down. They are very cool though and I love mine since I have no switch inside my house to turn my garage lights on, this solves the problem when it gets dark.

I would not recommend it in a room that is not dark. The LED is good, but it is does not do well in a lit room.

I have the bulb in a garage so it is usually dark when it goes on. I am afraid I cannot answer your question to satisfaction. But I like the light and the action of the bulb.

I don't know how much light is actually required or how dark your garage is. With the door open during the day, the unit did not close when set to hold. The same was true if we had the light on in the garage. You may want to contact the company through their webpage. I really liked mine. I still have not had the opportunity to get one for my new home, but it's on the list! Good Luck!

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

I'm not sure what you're asking? You can change the brightness and set it to go darker at night, but that depends on your preferences.

The answer is no . Wish there was a light. Also it's more designed to be mounted someplace.

Its more for small spaces or as a flash light. It lasts long and if you turn it on for a long time it slowly becomes dim and then to switch off and switch it on to get the bright light back. so not good if you want to light up a space for a long time.

As long as it is not closing off the vents on the light and it is open above the light you should be fine. The noise can be an issue. One of my three lights had developed a very loud fan noise while the other two have remained very quiet. I think the fan has become unbalanced but I have no idea how to fix it. After about 10 minuets mine gets quieter but not as quiet as the other lights.
