Garbage

Dont waste your money on this switch. While it does work, I find it flaky and inconsistent. Sometimes I can wave my hand in front of the switch for a minute before it finally turns on. Look for a better switch.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Junk
As other reviewers have noted, I have tried 4 of these switches and they do not work. I have tried them with 2 8′ florescent lights in the garage, and they have a terrible flicker and the sensor only works occasionally. Stay away from these!

Does not work AND there are much better ones out there(see comments)
Doesen’t work w Fluorescents including 2 bulbs >30Watts as it claims.

Motion switch doesen’t work w Incandescent either.

I found an occupancy sensor called Watt Stopper RS-250 - universal vacancy sensor turns lights on or off based on time and motion. Adjustable and light level sensing. Excellent product which works w all types of fluorescents and incandescents. Fuss free.
