Color Name:White
I have installed a couple of these switches, and they are not just plug-in and forget. The mini-manual the comes with them gives details, but in chinese-english that is hard to understand.
(1) Setup - There are two small thumb-wheel controls beside the motion-sensor. The one is for setting the length of time the switch is ON, and is obvious. The other one is quite delicate and compensates for ambient lighting and the lighting of the moving object. This is especially tricky when the motion sensor has a window in its view, and the ambient light it sees changes from day to night. If you have a window facing the switch, it would be best to put a blind in it to filter out some of the ambient light changes. With patience, I was able to get the switch to work well even though it faced a window. But it takes trial-and-error to compensate for motion during both day and dusk (it doesn't work at night).
(2) Flickering fluorescents - With the widespread conversion to fluorescent lighting, there is a new problem. The small screw-in spiral bulbs that replace incandescent lights have electronic "ballasts", which are totally different from those on the long fluorescent tubes. This motion-sensing light switch does not go completely OFF when there is no motion. A sensitive VOM will measure about 30+ volts on the hot line. However, there is little current available. The 30+ volts is enough to trigger the ballast on the spiral fluorescents, and it tries to light the lamp, however there is not enough current available and the light tries to go on, drains the minimal charge on the line, and then goes out. This repeats and you get a flicker. ---- You can solve this by replacing one of your lights with an incandescent lamp. This will constantly drain the charge trickle through the switch and prevent the voltage building up to trigger the ballast. I have used 45W and 60W bulbs, and both work. They just go in parallel with your spiral fluorescents. And you should no longer have any flicker.
**** With careful installation, these switches work quite well. My wife expecially appreciates the one in our laundry room which goes on automatically when she comes in with piles of laundry (we have a traditional marriage).

There are not too many readily available Occupancy Sensors.
So this is about the only product I could find for a reasonable price at the local hardware store or online.
My main gripe is that like advertised here, it says it works with fluorescent and Incandescent. But thats certainly misleading as it only works with magnetic ballast fluorescent lights.
Not the newer, fast on, electronic balast lights.
(Magnetics are usually the long ones that flicker before turning on.)
So if your like me and looking to add to the savings by using with a typical screw in flurecent bulb, you will be out of luck.
As it will either flicker when turned off, or not turn on at all.
Leviton apparently has a sensor which will work with electronic ballast lights, but its way way way more expensive, and nearly impossible to find to say the least.
im just disapointed.

I'm not saying all the reviews are incorrect, but this switch is not all that bad.
Typically, whether you are working with z-wave, motion sensors and such flourescent is just a bad idea in general. I read all these bad reviews on all these devices and whether the manufacturer tells you it's o.k. or not you just need to accept the good ol' incadescent.
Also, with some of the reviews I don't think some realized that there are dials behind the decorative plate that can control the time and sensitivity to existing light levels.
They will not work in pitch black unless you are right in front of it. If you need that spend much more on an infrared one.
They do only sense motion at or above the location of the sensor. It's not good if you have children shorter than the switch, but it is good if you have pets.
Those aren't negative points, they are just things to take into consideration.
I've found they work great for walk-in closets, laundry rooms, bathrooms, stairways and garages. When used in the right environment I've found them much more reliable than the competion. Their timers react the same length everytime and don't get hung up. There is a green light on the front that flashes whenever it senses activity and I've had no problem with distance in any normal sized room.

Leviton PR150 NOT FOR Electronic Ballast
If you go to Leviton's website you will find that this Occupancy sensor is for use only with magnetic ballasts NOT electronic ballasts!

Very flexible unit
Like all things technical, there is a continuum from easy to use w/ limited functionality, to greatly expanded functionality w/ a steeper learning curve. Read more

So far, so good... (no neutral wire required)
