Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The First Alert Motion-Sensing Light Socket quickly and easily transforms an ordinary light socket into a motion-sensing socket. This clever device will automatically turn on a light when it senses movement, and it will turn off the light after movement is no longer detected. This means you can finally stop worrying about fumbling for a light switch when your hands are full or finding a hard-to-reach pull-string in the dark.



This hands-free, motion-sensitive lighting device helps improves safety and convenience in your home. View larger.

The Motion-Sensing Light Socket
At-a-Glance:
  • Hands-free lighting device turns on with movement
  • Detects motion in every direction
  • Installs easily into an existing light socket
  • 3-year limited warranty
Convenient, Automatic Lighting
Ideal for laundry rooms, basements, walk-in closets, garages, or anywhere a light switch isn't in a convenient spot, the First Alert Motion-Sensing Light Socket is a hands-free lighting device that turns on when you enter a room and automatically turns off four minutes after movement stops.

Senses Movement in All Directions
Able to operate in broad daylight or pitch-black darkness, this light socket features a 360-degree motion sensor that will detect a person approaching within twelve feet when installed at an eight-foot height. To achieve maximum motion sensitivity, use the handy arrows marked on the unit to determine the strongest response, adjusting the 180-degree points to face a door or other high-traffic area as needed.

Simple Installation for Immediate Use
With the First Alert Motion-Sensing Light Socket, you can get the convenience of automatic lighting without the expensive installation. Just screw the motion-sensing socket directly into an existing light socket, and then fasten the light bulb into the new fixture. The socket works with 25-100 watt bulbs (the product is not suitable for use with enclosed, shaded, or halogen bulbs).

The First Alert Motion-Sensing Light Socket is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good unit, April 7, 2007
I've had three of these for about 10 years. Two are still working after all this time and the third one failed when the bulb burned out and caused a momentary short circuit. The sensor failed a fraction of a second after the bulb. Shame but stuff sometimes happens. Replaced the failed unit with a spare and all is still well.

Another reviewer mentioned that the range is insufficient. I've found that while the units do respond to a 360 degree circle, they do not respond equally in all directions. The unit responds excellently in two opposite directions and poorly in between. The manufacturer must know this because the center terminal is spring loaded and makes electrical contact about a half turn before the sensor screws tight into the socket. Thus, you can unscrew the unit by about a half turn and still have it work. I've taken a few days and slowly unscrewed the sensor from the ceiling socket a few degrees at a time until the most sensative direction faces my single point of entry. Works much better that way. Doing similarly might help some folks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well, August 12, 2006
By Ian Baker (Etna, NH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought four of these. So far they appear to work well. They do not work with compact flourescent lights well, but are fine with incandescent bulbs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully convenient, May 5, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is an amazing product. I love it! If they were less expensive, I'd buy five or six. I have one in my basement, where the bulbs are old-fashioned screw-in-to-turn-on types (not pull chains). Yes, I could rewire the basement, but in the meantime, this is the perfect choice. Like many motion-sensing devices, this socket doesn't work with a flourescent bulb; package instructions say to use it only with incandescent bulb. It also can't be used in an enclosed fixture, only a bare-bulb fixture. But for closets, garages, pantries, basements, etc., it's perfect.
