4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly good at what it does., February 16, 2006

I bought this to illuminate dark areas on my stairs which have no electrical outlet nearby for safe passage at night.

The LED light is certainly bright enough to illuminate the stairs at night for safe passage. in fact my lovely wife complains it's TOO bright. It will last far longer than a fluorescent or incandescent bulb, and will give more illumination bang for the battery-life buck than either of those. So LED is a good choice for this application.

The range is around 10 feet, which is minimally acceptable for my purposes, but certainly good for a closet.

Two things that are less than ideal for my purposes:

The motion detector cannot "see" motion that is above the plane of the sensor. So you can't put it on the landing below and expect it to illuminate the stairs when you descend from above.

The light sensor is not sensitive enough, so that the little bugger still illuminates during the day despite regular houselights being on. Not a problem, but rather wasteful.

It would also be nice if the motion sensor could be rotated to point away from the light, but that's asking too much for such a reasonably priced item.

All in all, if you need to intermittently spot-illuminate an area without an outlet, this will do the trick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maxxima Portable Sensor Light - Does what it Says!, December 31, 2005

This review is from: Maxxima MLS-01 Occupancy Sensor LED Light (Misc.)

I bought two of these lights and are delighted with them!
They really do have the range they claim. One, I placed on my husband's dresser in the bedroom (am always tripping over his laundry basket when he forgets to put it away). And it immediately turns on as soon as I enter the doorway (approx. 13 feet away).

The other is in the livingroom on the windowsill, so when he gets up in the middle of the night for a snack, it immediately turns on so he's not tripping over anything or walking into the corners of furniture.

It is a bright light (but not overly so), and stays on long enough to pass through the room ...and if I want it to stay on, I can either flip a switch on it OR keep moving into it's sensor range.

This is a GREAT item for dark areas of your home. AND it works just like it says it does.

I highly recommend!

I don't know why people degrade a product rating when they simply did not order a product that suits their requirements. This light is not intended to light up a room, it's designed to let you see your way when no other light is available. What it's designed to do, it does superbly.

The motion sensor is extremely sensitive and never fails; it doesn't waste batteries by turning on when other light is available and so the batteries last a long time. It can rest on a table top or hang on a wall with the provided screw. It does take four AA batteries but they last a long time. I have one beside my bed that allows me to get up during the night to make my way to the bathroom without the shock of turning on a bright light. I have another in the bathroom, same reason.

I came back today to order three more, one for my study where I have to cross the room to turn on a light, another for my storage shed, another for my truck cab where the overhead has quit working.

You can get cheaper but not with anywhere near the performance. As you can tell, I'm very pleased with this product and that seldom happens these days so I'm happy to take the time to write a rave review.
