Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sierra Electric JB5293 Motion Sensor Entry Light
Customer Review: Keep Searching...This isn't it!
Summary: 1 Stars
This product, the Sierra Electric JB5293 Motion Sensor Entry Light, works as advertised with the exception of the recommended uses listed in the Technical Details, i.e., "Use it at your front door, porch, closet, hallway, basement, attic?anywhere" These are important details, and they are very misleading in my opinion.
Based upon the product dimensions and that it uses three "C" size batteries, I expected a fairly bright light. I mean, if you can use in on your porch or in your attic, it must output some decent light, right! Wrong! I actually have a mini flashlight with only three LED's and uses two "AAA" size batteries and it produces substantially more usable light than this product.
I simply wanted a battery operated light with a motion sensor that I could use in my linen closet. In fact, when I was considering the purchase, I was somewhat concerned that it may be too bright for a small closet. Turns out that it is not nearly bright enough and the physical size of this product is monstrous for the measly light output. It is a very poor design and a terrible purchase. I should have paid more attention to the customer reviews. If you're reading this please pay attention to all of the reviews on this product before considering it.
Customer Review: LED Light
Summary: 4 Stars
LED light works good and good shine. Door hinge could be better as it flops down and will not stay in position desired without attempting to put something in hinge so it will not close. Other then hinge problem it is a good value.Customer Review: Motion Sensor Light is a bust
Summary: 1 Stars
So far, hands down this is the worst item I've bought from Amazon. The light this thing emits is very dim, on a REALLY dark night it does help some, but not nearly enough. The lid doesn't stay where you put it, the mounting holes are on the large part, and there is no way to tighten the face part so it falls down over the motion sensor, making it useless. If you put it the way the picture shows, it falls... if I installed it so it's stright up, it stays, but the light shines AT you, instead of on the stairs where I need it, and in the dark, the LAST thing you need is light in your eyes, even as weak as these bulbs are. So on a scale of 1-10, you get a 1 for this one Sierra. Love to have my money back on this one.

Customer Review: Motion light works fine but not enough light
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this item so that i can put it on top of my door where no one can see it at first glance (like the picture on the item). but the light is so soft that it doesn't even reaches the key entry. And also the motion doesn't catch any one from that distance. so i had to put it near the key place which now kind a look like a door bell. if you are looking for something where little light will do the job then go for this. but its not made for heavy duty or medium duty stuff. other than that every thing works just fine. turns off properly and wakes up if the motion sensor is right in front of you.Customer Review: Not as Bright as the Picture Shows
Summary: 2 Stars
I wasn't thrilled, its worth $12. The motion range is poor - 2 feet dead on and thought it would be brighter. To give you a comparison a small flash lite powered by 2 AA batteries is brighter then this 7 LED soft lite that takes 3 C batteries. My guess is this puts out 4 to 5 watts. The higher up you install it the less affective the lighting becomes, don't expect it to light up your porch or driveway with gleam. It may work for you in a shed, stairwell or basement utility closet which is were I installed mine.
I purchased with the Fulcrum Light-It 6 LED Porch Light with Motion Sensor, its $30 to the $12 Sierra, but a much better product, its brighter, better light coverage with a 20 foot motion sensor for the driveway, walkway, porch or closet type.
Good luck choosing.
