Dim light..., March 19, 2008
This review is from: American Tack (Hemco) 32382 Screw-in Photocell Sensor Socket Dusk/dawn (Misc.)
The product description leads you to believe that this is just like flipping the light switch on/off, depending on the ambient light.
Not so. The bulb is much dimmer with this device than it is when plugged directly into the socket. Plus, it flickers at dusk. And I can't imagine that anyone would want this. Maybe you can compensate by buying a higher-wattage bulb, but even if that worked that is a pain. Thanks, Ace, for selling me this shoddy product and forcing me to make another trip to your store so I can return it.
Just in case anyone at Ace or Hemco is reading this...we want the bulb to look exactly like it does when plugged directly into the socket...duh.

Cheap, terrible solution. Light flickers at dusk and dawn to the point that it burns out bulbs. In the end the flickering will draw more electricity than the energy savings in having it off during day. I threw it in the garbage.
