One of the SensorPlugs is connected to a small decorative lamp sitting in "that deep useless corner" of the kitchen counter-top, it is bright enough to allow people to get a drink or snack. The only problem around here is that they are highly addictive - one is not enough. We have several of these around the house. It probably paid for itself the first year in electricity and annoyed-adult savings.I had been purchasing these locally until they became a seasonal. Occasionally, a new SensorPlug will need the spare (supplied) fuse installed immediately; otherwise, their life has been long and their track record has been very good.A majority of our SensorPlugs are connected to lights which are used as up-lights/night-lights to keep the traffic lanes through the house safe (these lights have small lower watt candelabra-base bulbs and stay very cool). Many of these are at or near floor level, they work very well to eliminate stubbed toes and cursing during the night. item. The Amazon price is the best online and about what I am used to paying; however, be sure and compare the prices, the double pack wasn't the best value when I ordered mine.
Still in use after 6 months. Save a lot. Best for someone easy to forget to turn off lights.
I can't tell you how much money I spent on motion switches to replace wall switches. When it arrived, I plugged it into our walk through laundry room (between garage and house), plugged in a little light in the corner on the counter, and it works like a charm. But I kept running into issues like 3-way wiring, florescent lighting, etc. Then I saw this little sucker. I intend to buy more for other places that I don't spend a lot of time but where I often need light while there but forget to turn off. Great function, well worth the money.
After owning this sensor for 3 years I have finally decided to unplug and recycle the unit. The success rate of the device was about 5%. The sensor never really worked the way it was intended. I placed it in my garage in the hopes that it would activate a light as I entered in the dark. This left me in the dark 95% of the time fumbling around with my keys. I would not recommend this product.
I am using two of the sensors to run fans in my living room and kitchen. They are setup so that the fan goes on for roughly 10 minutes every time I walk by the sensor. They have worked well for this purpose over the last couple of months.
