240-Degree Motion Sensor, 5-300LUX Adjustable Dusk to Dawn Motion Detectors
Quick take
This PIR motion detector is built to replace a motion-sensing module in compatible light fixtures, giving you wide coverage (up to 240°) and adjustable control over when the lights turn on (5-300 LUX). It supports multiple modes like Auto, Dusk to Dawn, Test, and Manual Override, with a maximum detection range up to 60 ft. The biggest buying caveat is wiring and electrical compatibility, since it’s designed for a hardwired 120 VAC setup.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Wide sensing coverage with a 240° horizontal detection angle and adjustable sensor head
- 5-300 LUX knob helps control how early or late lights activate at dusk
- Multiple modes (Test, Auto, Dusk to Dawn, and Manual Override) for different routines
- Outdoor-capable build with an IP65 rating (waterproof except the outlet)
Cons
- Requires hardwired 120 VAC installation, so it may not be ideal if you want a plug-and-play replacement
- Best performance still depends on proper aiming and tuning (time, range, and LUX)
- Not every fixture will be a direct swap, so you need to confirm circuit/load compatibility
What buyers think
Buyer feedback is generally positive, with the most consistent themes focusing on successful replacement use and adjustability. Several shoppers describe swapping the sensor into an existing motion-sensing fixture without needing to replace the whole unit, and they highlight that setup may take a bit of aiming and tuning to get it working the way they want. Reviewers also tend to appreciate having multiple control knobs (not just one setting), and some specifically mention that the wider detection angle can help cover areas that older sensors missed. Evidence is limited in terms of long-term performance across all weather conditions, but the available comments suggest it has performed reliably for some users after installation.
What this motion sensor does well
Wide coverage for motion detection
The sensor is designed for broad coverage, with a sensing angle up to 240° and an adjustable detection distance up to 60 ft (range varies based on conditions like temperature). If your goal is to cover a driveway, walkway, or broader portion of a garage entrance, the wider view can reduce the chance of “dead zones” compared with narrower sensors.
Dusk-to-night tuning with a 5-300 LUX range
The included light-sensitivity adjustment lets you decide when the lighting will trigger based on ambient brightness. Higher LUX settings can make the sensor active earlier at dusk, while lower settings can limit activation when it’s still relatively bright.
Four modes for different lighting habits
This model supports several operating modes that help you match behavior to your routine:
- Test mode: Useful for setup, it keeps the light on while motion is detected and turns it off about 5 seconds after motion stops.
- Auto mode: Lights activate at night when motion is detected, then stay on for a selectable delay time (1, 5, or 10 minutes) after motion ends.
- Dusk to dawn (DTD) mode: Lights come on at full brightness at dusk and turn off at dawn automatically.
- Manual override mode: Turn power off and on within 3 seconds to force the unit on for about 8 hours, then it returns to Auto mode.
Installation and compatibility considerations
- Hardwired power: The sensor is rated for 120 VAC (60 Hz), so it’s intended for line-voltage fixtures and circuits.
- Load limits: It supports up to 500W for incandescent lamps and up to 200W for LED drivers or LED bulbs. Make sure your fixture’s lamps and driver ratings stay within these limits.
- Mounting: It’s a surface-mount motion sensor (not a battery device).
- Outdoor use: With an IP65 rating (waterproof except the outlet), it’s positioned for outdoor applications like porches and entryways, but keep the outlet area properly protected as your fixture design allows.
- Setup matters: Even with good specs, aiming the sensor head and dialing in range, LUX, and time delay is part of getting the behavior you expect.
Pros and cons, in plain terms
If you need a motion-sensor replacement module to turn your existing lighting into motion-activated lighting, this unit’s adjustable detection and LUX knob are the standout features. The main tradeoff is that it’s not a universal, plug-and-play gadget, so buyers without electrical experience may prefer a complete fixture replacement or a simpler solution.
Who should buy it
- People replacing the motion sensor portion of an existing 120 VAC motion-sensing light fixture
- Buyers who want adjustable “when it turns on” behavior using a 5-300 LUX setting
- Homeowners who need wider coverage (up to 240°) for walkways, garages, and entry paths
- Shoppers who want a Test mode to fine-tune aiming during setup
Who should avoid it
- Anyone looking for a battery-powered, plug-in motion sensor
- Shoppers with a fixture load rating that could exceed the stated incandescent/LED limits
- Buyers who cannot access wiring and cannot confirm circuit compatibility

FAQ
How far does the sensor detect motion?
It’s rated for an adjustable detection distance up to 60 ft (18 m). Actual range can vary based on surrounding temperature and placement.
What is the 5-300 LUX adjustment for?
The LUX knob controls the ambient light threshold for activation. It helps you set when the lights should turn on at dusk, from earlier triggering (higher LUX) to later triggering (lower LUX).
What modes does it include?
It includes Test mode, Auto mode, Dusk to Dawn (DTD) mode, and a Manual Override mode (power off and on within 3 seconds to force an 8-hour on period, then it returns to Auto).
Is this sensor outdoor rated?
Yes, it has an IP65 waterproof rating except for the outlet area, making it suitable for outdoor installation in protected fixture setups.
What power does it require?
It requires 120 VAC (60 Hz) and is intended for hardwired installation. Battery operation is not supported.
Will it work with LED bulbs or LED fixtures?
It supports LED loads, but you must keep within the stated maximum load rating for LED bulbs or LED drivers (up to 200W). Confirm your fixture’s compatibility before wiring.
Does it need a special replacement compatibility or is it universal?
It’s designed as a motion sensor replacement module, but “universal” fit depends on your existing fixture’s wiring, mounting, and electrical load. Double-check mounting and load compatibility before installing.
Bottom line
This is a strong choice if you want to upgrade or repair a motion-sensing light setup, especially when you need wider coverage and more control over dusk activation. Just plan for the wiring and time spent dialing in aiming, range, LUX, and delay so the sensor behavior matches how you actually use the space.
