Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton PR150-1LW 500W, Single Pole, 150 Degrees, 350 sq. ft. Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, Residential Grade, White
Customer Review: Not a great product
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought... all switches like this were the same. Not so.
This switch does not allow for energy saving fluorescant bulbs to be used, nor does it stay on very long when in use. As an example: I go into the room looking for something and shortly thereafter, the light goes off even if I am moving around. Just what does motion detection mean?
Customer Review: Not ball while it lasts
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had three of these switches in my garage. They all worked very well --- for about one year. After a year, the sensor fails and I am left with a manual on/off switch. If I wanted a manaul on/off switch this would not be my choice.
I'm looking at motion sensor switches again because it is time to replace the third switch. Call me old fashioned, but I would expect a switch to last for at least five years. If you consider the cost of ownership to include annual replacement, this is not a bad product.
Customer Review: Not even for magnetic ballast fluorescents
Summary: 1 Stars
I installed this switch and my magnetic ballast fluorescent lights come on with about half the normal brightness and they flicker. When I move the switch to "on" the lights operate normally. I tested the voltage and found that when the switch is on "on" I get 120 volts to the light but when it is on "auto" I get only 107 volts -- not enough to get the lights started.Customer Review: Ok, but be careful
Summary: 3 Stars
This works great for common lights but read all of the product details to verify that it will work with your lights.Customer Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this device poorly made and should have returned it after opening the package and inspecting it. I needed the functionality though and decided to install it away. The short product life cycle proved me correct. After some initial fidaling I got it to work reliably ... but for only about three weeks. The motion sensor failed and the product was obviously uselesss without it. The manual slider switch also did not function mechanically. It did not align with the internal dip switch offering "off" or "auto" but not "on" due to restricted slide travel length on the bezel case. Leviton is an established and well known provider of electrical components. They should do a better job of source inspection from suppliers. Save your money- skip this product.
