Tools and Hardware Reviews of Maxxima 5 LED Occupancy Sensor Light
Customer Review: Sensor does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This product is a good idea, and the light appears to be adequate and work well enough. The problem I ran into is that the sensor is not very sensitive at all, and 8 times out of 10 does not pick up movement within the room. I have this mounted to the ceiling of a small closet, which is totally in the dark. Even though the sensor is facing the door, the light does not come on when the door is opened (very large door, I would think that would cause the sensor to activate), or even when I place my arms inside to grab an item from the closet. Most times I need to wave my hands up towards the ceiling rapidly in order to make it come on, then when it does come on, it only stays on for 2-3 seconds and shuts right off. The ceiling is only 9 ft. I would not recommend this product because of the sensor, but I guess I could have received a defective unit.Customer Review: So useful, I can't make up my mind where to put it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This light and motion sensitive nightlight is pretty powerful. I ordered mine without the adapter so I'm using 4 rechargeable AA batteries. I tried it out in several locations in my apartment which needed a night light. It is reasonably effective. To be truly effective, it would need a wider field of motion sensing but that might cause it to be overly sensitive. The light sensor triggers the nightlight when the ambient light is dim but not pitch dark. Some people might find that overly sensitive.
Late at night for those little trips from bedroom to other parts of the place, I've found myself just picking it up on my way to another part of the house because it's easier than flicking the house lights on in the dark. How is that for convenient?
I ordered this product Aug. 2008. If you order directly from Maxxima instead of Amazon, you get free shipping with a minimum $25 purchase instead of $50.
Customer Review: Super bright LEDs and perfect for nighttime path lighting
Summary: 5 Stars
These little LED sensor lights are awesome! They are very bright and work perfectly after the sun goes down. We set up two, one in the bath, the other in the kitchen. The sensor is very accurate and since we live in a remote area, unless there is a full moon, it is pretty dark in our home. These lights are great and everyone who comes over and sees them asks, "Where did you get those? I never seen anything like that!"
PS - We have switched over to rechargable batteries thus making these LED lights energy efficient. When the LEDs start to lose their brightness, we pop out the rechargables, recharge them and put them back in...LIKE NEW.
Customer Review: Useful Light
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this light as a cheaper alternative to a Mr Beams LED Stair light that we love. We use these lights in our bathroom so our dog can use the restroom at night without having to leave a light on. The Maxxima 5 LED light works well but did need a slight fix....I placed the unit on the floor of the bathroom to pick up the motion from our dog and the light would turn on but turn off a few seconds later. I soon figured that the light reflecting off of the tile floor caused the light sensor to turn the LED lights off. This was simply fixed by placing a few pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to decrease the sensitivity. The sensor still works and only turns on when the bathroom lights are off and the motion sensor works well. The output is bright for this type of light and there are so many uses for lights like these around the house for safety i.e. stairway light, hall light, etc.
Overall a good purchase and will consider buying more if the need arises.
Customer Review: Works Very Poor if at All
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to return this light because the first one was defective. Even the second one doesn't work very well. The motion sensor work properly intermittently,then work sporatically the rest of the time. Look elseware for this type of light.
