The good:
These lights are bright and energy efficient. Since they use LED technology, the lights should last many years without needing to be replaced.
The not so good:
I initially ordered 3 of these lights, 2 had to be returned for replacement: the first one - the motion sensor sensitivity was too low and would not adjust, the other would not stay on more than about 30 seconds and would not adjust for longer on-time.
Two that I installed had the strobe problem and would turn off immediately after turning on, then off, then on.... The problem was the daylight sensor was being fooled by the light reflected off the white eve vent, just below the light fixture, causing the light to think that it was daylight. I am an electronic technician and understand the general workings of the device. When I covered up the light hole, next to the On-Time switch, the light would stay on. I initially added some blue painters tape over the hole; the light started working as it should as the tape let enough light pass to the daylight sensor during the day. But, since I feared that the tape would eventually come off because of being exposed to the elements, I took it one step farther. I disassembled the motion sensor (two screws), after turning off the power. I covered the daylight sensor mounted on the circuit board with a single layer of blue painters tape (about 1-inch strip), wrapping it around the sensor so the tape could stick to the back side of the tape to itself. I reassembled the motion sensor, taking care to make certain that the adjustment screws properly engaged the potentiometers on the circuit board. This should keep the tape in place since it is not directly exposed to the elements. The single layer of tape blocking the daylight sensor allows enough light to pass through during the day that it keeps the light off during the day, as it should, and allows it to activate during the night without the strobe problem. This fix may not be for everyone, as you need to disassemble the motion sensor unit (and it probably does void the warranty), but I am now satisfied with the operation of these units and the tape should stay in place.
As some of the other reviewers noted, the two screws that mounted the fixture body to the mounting bracket were stripped on two of the light fixtures which I mounted. It was necessary for me to drill out and tap new holes and use slightly larger screws to mount two of the lights.
Overall, I like these lights but the lack of factory quality control caused me a lot of extra work and steps that should not have been necessary. 1. the mounting screws and bracket should not be stripped out. 2. there should be an adjustment added to the daylight sensor so that it can be adjusted to correct for the reflectivity (strobing) problem when mounted above light-colored walls. 3. These units should be thoroughly tested for defects at the factory.
Update: October 22, 2019
Three years following my initial review, the 3 lights that I installed are still going strong. It's too bad that Lithonia stopped making this model.
