Motion sensor performs HORRIBLY - Installed 3 - exact same conditions
It's my belief that "smarter" Amazon shoppers read the 1 star reviews, as opposed to simply looking at high star reviews. If your reading this, I've included my update replacement at the bottom. Please mark this review as helpful if you find it to be.
Small business owner - have been installing motion flood lights for over 15 years. I installed 3 about 30 feet apart above my commercial storage units and they all have the exact same conditions (ambient lighting, height, surroundings). THEY DON"T WORK! Maybe if I type it again you will forego the unreasonable positive reviews. THE SENSORS DON"T WORK! THEY PERFORM HORRIBLY. Literally, I experienced horror after I saw them perform (shock, increased heart rate, and ran for 1.3 miles in the opposite direction (fight, flight or freeze sympathetic responses - I suffer from the second).
I love the overall design of these LED flood lights. Great design; simply fantastic. It's built like at a beautiful vehicle that won't open it's trunk. Maybe you're one of those anti-Trunk people and will love this light. If you want to install these right above your back door on your residence, they might work for you. However, I need a motion sensor that performs (i.e., reaches out beyond 10ft and can pick up vehicles driving by parallel to the sensors!) as opposed to someone walking out their back door 6' and it turns on.
The sensors are set to the exact same settings and one goes on and off all the time. Another a little less sporadically. The third almost never. They didn't even turn on when vehicles drive by 15' away. REALLY?!? READ OTHER 1 Star REVIEWS.
Very disappointed. I don't need replacements - I need to go with another brand. Any recommendations on which one of your competitors I should try out Hyperikon?
UPDATE: I purchased RAB Lighting STL360HBW Super Stealth 360 Sensor with HB101 Bullet Floods (2 Pack) as a replacement. Pros: Sensor is AWESOME. Blows the competition out the water. 10 year warranty.
Cons: Expensive, NOT LED compatible. DO NOT BUY from Amazon - as they are not a "verified" distributor and you will not be able to claim your warranty. Buy directly from a local distributor.
Hope this helps!
