(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.

SensorPlug Motion Sensor Outlet PlugIt'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.
