Fulcrum 20031-101 Motion Sensor LED Porch Light, Silver Review

Fulcrum 20031-101 Motion Sensor LED Porch Light, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just added this to the bottom of our apartment's formerly unsafe and dark stairway. Powered by the 4 size C batteries, my only worry was whether this would sufficiently illuminate the section (the reason I ruled out a solar powered unit; these tend to put out as much light as a birthday candle). Initially tested the unit indoors and I was pleasantly surprised to see the LEDs put out a great deal of light...enough to read by. Installation is a breeze, the motion sensor is sensitive enough to turn on from about 6-8' away, and hopefully the light lives up to the 6-12 month battery replacement claims. Only negative is not specific to this unit, but of LED lighting technology: the lights are so cold blue, it sometimes looks like a new car headlight is shining downward. Wonder why manufacturers do not include a slightly warm-tinted clear film to alter the light's colour a bit. But overall, think this is a perfect renter's choice in adding some safety lighting outdoors.

Designed for indoor or outdoor use, the LIGHT IT! Porch Light from Fulcrum is a motion sensor and LED in one compact unit. Equipped with six LEDs, the Porch Light can detect movement within a 25-foot range and at a 100-degree angle to provide instant security to any area in or around your home. The light also rotates so its cool, bright white light can illuminate all dark areas. To preserve battery power, photocell technology prevents the light from turning on during the daytime. The Porch Light requires no hardwiring and comes with all necessary mounting hardware. It runs on four C batteries (not included).
Automatically Illuminates Dark Areas for SafetyThe Porch Light enhances the security of your property. It can brighten a dim porch, carport, doorway, back staircase, or garage without requiring a flipped switch. The light detects movement within a 25-foot range and automatically switches on and stays illuminated until the sensor has not detected motion for a full 30 seconds.
Bright LED Panel Rotates to Cover 25 FeetThe six-LED panel rotates so light covers its entire range, illuminating dark corners as well as open space. During the daytime, the light's photocell and motion sensor prevent activation to save battery power. In low light and darkness, motion will trigger the light. Weatherproof casing helps protect it against the elements, even during inclement weather.
Fast, Easy Installation Without Cords or WiresThe Sensor Light mounts anywhere quickly and installs in minutes without wires or plugs. Installation is as simple as loading 4 C batteries and attaching the mounting plate with two screws (included). Measuring 5-1/2 inches on all sides and weighing 1 pound, the Porch Light is compact enough to blend in with its surroundings. It requires no hardwiring, and comes with all necessary mounting hardware.
Energy-Efficient LEDs Extend Battery LifeTo save you money and help protect the environment, this light uses energy-efficient LED bulbs. These bulbs extend battery life, and never need replacement. Additionally, they emit little or no heat when compared to incandescent lamps.

Globe 48412 13-Watt Ultra-Mini Compact Fluorescent Spiral Bulb (60-Watt Incandescent Equivalent), Cool White, 4 Pack Review

I'm holding them to the warranty of five years or money back. General Electric long life bulbs have been a terrible disappointment to me so I hope Globe is good value. This is a very cold light and many people prefer warmer more yellow lights. I don't mind because I got a good gold box price on it and I am using it in utilitarian areas. But I wouldn't mind if I were using it in gathering areas either.

SensorPlug Motion Sensor Outlet Plug Review

SensorPlug Motion Sensor Outlet Plug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have found many uses for this device.
The light to my tabletop Essex parlour case (I have reviewed this item previously) is plugged into a Sensor Plug in the following sequence: light cord from case to sensor plug, then sensor plug to a short extension cord, then the extension cord into the wall outlet. I positioned the Sensor Plug to lie on the ground just under the Essex case. Whenever the Sensor Plug detects motion, the Essex case lights turn on. That way, anyone approaching the case to view it will have lighting. When there is no one around the case, the case lights turn off. I like this because this keeps the halogen lighting in the case from getting too hot from staying on too long.
I have a small desk fan plugged into another Sensor Plug. The corner of the room where the desk is tends to get a bit warm. Whenever I walk over to the desk to do work, the fan turns on. Shortly after I leave, the fan turns off.
I have another Sensor Plug in the hallway that I have plugged a small table lamp into. When the hallway gets dark, the Sensor Plug will allow the lamp to come on to give illumination. During the day when the hallway has more light, the Sensor Plug does not operate and so the hallway light stays off when it is not needed.
There are settings on the Sensor Plug where you can have the Sensor Plug operate all the time or only when the room gets dark. With the Essex display case and the desk fan, I have the Sensor Plug to operate at all times, but with the hallway light, the Sensor Plug only works in low light conditions.
I only give the Sensor Plug 4 instead of 5 stars for this reason: for a while, it seemed that the sensor plug that the Essex case was plugged into stopped working. I thought that maybe the lights in the case were burned out. Then, somehow, the sensor plug is now working again and turning the case light on and off. I have no idea why.

It's tough to turn the lights on when your hands are full. But that doesn't mean you need to stumble around in the dark when you come home with your arms laden with groceries, kids, laundry or the myriad accoutrements of modern life. The SensorPlug Motion-Sensing Outlet is a passive infrared motion sensor that's triggered when you walk past, instantly turning on a light or even an appliance, such as a fan or a radio. Since the SensorPlug inserts right into a wall outlet, you don't need to wire it in.

Dusk to Dawn Light Control for Outdoor Use Review

Dusk to Dawn Light Control for Outdoor Use

I placed the item on all of my porch lights (4). They turn off and on every few seconds all night long. I tried partially covering the sensor hole, but still didn't work. I completely covered the sensor hole with black electrical type, and it still continued to blink. The sensors I received just don't work correctly. When I get some time, I plan on fashioning a metal cap with a pinhole aperture to limit light to the sensor.

Sylvania 72178 Motion Activated Battery Powered Safety Light Review

I have put these all around inside the house and put some outdoors (sheltered from the snow but still exposed to subzero temperatures). They are awesome! They put out a good deal of light which is nice in the winter in Alaska and save on electricity because they are motion detecting. I was so impressed that I bought all that they had at Ft. Wainwright commissary. They are cheaper on post!
