Wireless Motion Sensor Alarm and Chime Kit (2 Pack)

Cheap Wireless Motion Sensor Alarm and Chime Kit (2 Pack) Review





I puchased the Wireless Motion Sensor Alarm and Chime Kit (2 Pack) on amazon to replace another aged system. I was pleased with the equipment and installation simplicity. Being unable to find a "radio controlled" similar alarm system for buget applications, the Infra-red type works well. However, a "line ot sight is needed to set/disable the unit. There is a built-in delay after activation that helps. The supplier, D B Roth, provided great service after determining the units were in stock after a previous dead end attempt.

Cheap Wireless Motion Sensor Light - by Wireless Environmrnt - MB530 (White) (3.5"H x 1.8"W x 3"D) Review




I bought two of these about 2 months ago, after my visiting aunt fell coming down the stairs at night. She hadn't wanted to turn on the hall light and disturb sleepers. She stepped off into air like Wile E. Coyote from the cliff, not realizing there were two more steps.

This light is great when there is no handy outlet for a nightlight. The bottom is flat enough to stand it on the side of the stair or next to a baseboard. That makes it easy to experiment with a good location without too much commitment. You can mount it with the included tape or screws, but I chose not to bother.

I put one on the floor before the first down-stair and the other one two steps from the bottom. Unless you're running, that gives plenty of time for the sensor to pick up movement and turn the lights on before the crucial first and last footsteps. Even with the turn at the landing and no other light source, the two units light the whole stairway enough to be able to navigate comfortably.

The switches for the settings are inside the cover under the battery bays. It would be nicer if they were on the outside of the unit. To get at the switches, take off the back door by loosening the two plastic screws (lots of turning with a coin.) With the unit turned so the screw-holes are on the left, remove the top-most battery if you already have one installed. You'll see two switches with barely readable embossed labels. The left switch says ON-TIME and the choices are 60 seconds (left position) or 20 seconds (right position). I find 20 seconds to be plenty of time for the light to be on, and it saves some battery. The right switch says GLOW and the choices are On (left position) or Off (right position). On gives you a constant low glow when the room is dark. Off gives you no glow, so the unit is dark until you walk near. Off saves battery power. I have both switches in the right position to save power.

When you remove a battery, the flat metal plate to which the spring is attached may pop out, but it's easy to slide it back into its grooves. A minor annoyance.

This product is made in China.

I'd much prefer a warmer, homier light instead of the harsh blue-white light these units emit.

My wishes for this product are for easier settings, warmer light, and made in USA, but otherwise I strongly recommend it.

Cheap Heath Zenith SL-6019-WH-A Wireless Command Motion Activated Indoor Alert Review




I used this plug and sensor in my kitchen. I installed puck lighting under the cabinets and then use the plug and sensor. lights automatically come on as i enter the kitchen. I didn't give it a full 5 stars cause I technically didn't use the item as intended. I just turned down the volume on the alarm so it doesn't go off. So there are more uses for the product than just security. The sensor and the plug are only feet away from each other. Maybe this is the reason for it working so great for me. Im purchasing another for my garage.

Cheap Heath Zenith SL-6053-WH Wireless Command, Motion Light Set with Dual-Brite Review




I would have given 5 stars if the instructions for the settings had been better. Unfortunately, I had to go to "daytime" settings (in my "always nighttime" application) to be able to make an adjustment to get a light-on duration of more than the "test-5 seconds" to work. I don't know why, but it works now. I just played around with different settings combinations until it did. Someone else might have sent it back, since there is no reason to have light-on duration be depending on the day/night situation. It is also possible that my remote module is defective in this regard, but I stopped worrying since it works now for me as I want it to.

Other than that, it is a good product, very good price, piece of cake-installation, the motion reception range and sensitivity is ok (I haven't tried very long distances though).

Sylvania Wireless Motion Sensor Anywhere LED Light (2 pack)

Cheap Sylvania Wireless Motion Sensor Anywhere LED Light (2 pack) Review




These are the best LED motion sensor lights that I've purchased after installing eight of these lights in my house. I have tried numerous LED night lights and security lights and these are the best so far.

The three LED's provide plenty of light, better than a single LED night light, yet not so blinding as the six LED lights that I've tried in the past. The light head rotates about forty-five degrees for aiming the light, but it does light up a large area without aiming. It uses three AAA batteries that are stored in the main unit behind the LED's. The battery door even has a rubber or silicone seal. I haven't tried rechargeable batteries...yet, but plan on using some Eneloope's after the batteries wear out in one of the units.

The photo sensor is a main feature for me, it saves on the batteries keeping the light off when it's not dark. The motion sensor is good for about ten to fifteen feet maximum when horizontal. The light stays on for ten to twelve seconds, then goes out automatically if there is no motion within range of the sensor.

The mount has three different options: magnetic, screw, or adhesive. I've used all three in different places. This really provides some flexibility for mounting the light in a variety of places. The mount itself can be detached from the light, allowing you to replace the batteries and leave the mount in place. I have one on a steel door, a couple on the wall in the corners to illuminate hallways, and one mounted outside my main entry door, screwed to the frame aiming down. That light illuminates my entire door entryway when motion is detected about six feet out from the door. The light works great outside in the cold. It's been below zero (F) several nights and the light works without any problem.

I will offer an improvement, but this isn't a show stopper. Provide multiple light delays, twelve seconds is fast. The advantage to a quick light delay is that the batteries will last longer. The light does stay on if there is movement within range of the motion sensor. I have one in a bathroom, magnetically attached to a vent aiming down, it lights up the entire bathroom, but will go out if I'm standing still while taking a leak.

As far as previous comments about the batteries coming loose? Well, if the light is mounted on a wall or door, then how would they come loose?

I purchased mine at a big warehouse store where they sold a two-pack for .99. This light would make a great travel light for security and safety.

It can be used as a flashlight because the three position switch has an always-on position.

Like I said earlier, I have eight of these lights in key locations around my house and don't use my LED night lights anymore. A great little product. Time will tell how reliable they are over the year.
