I have mine sitting on my dryer in my kitchen, so it works well even in light. Mosquitos seem to be drawn into the kitchen when I am cooking so I have it going in there and at night keep it going all night works well because my kitchen is centered in the house. I love this thing it is awesome.

via motion and it has to be dark. If you move but it's bright, then it wouldn't turn on.

Hi, yes it works outdoos, but at nights, it only works if the area you are going to watch over is illuminated, because this model does not have night vision.

Well, I tried it out in my bedroom but had to turn the lights off to see it clearly. And we have to wait until the sun goes down to use it outside. So I would say no.

Yes, my computer doesn't work when the light is on. The light is so good I work around it. I can't see the computer in the dark anyway.

Yes, the light only comes on in the dark. It looks great and works just as well.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

My wife and I both like to cook and we have a lot of light in our kitchen. It would light the kitchen, but I really don't think it would be enough light to prepare or cook food by. Hope this helps.

I believe you'd have to ask the inventors of motion detectors 'how' these smart little instruments work internally. Here's what I know: when the sensor is set to'on'; in a dark room, any motion (shadow?) in its path, will trigger the light to go on!

DeeDoo, of course it depends on the size of your kitchen. We are using it in a relatively modest size bathroom and it does a good enough job. However, the bathroom is narrow. If you have a square shaped kitchen, and the light is flush with your ceiling it may not be providing enough light on the periphery. It is pointing downward. Again, nice light for narrow spaces. Also, it has a matte screen, so not terribly bright for working area of a kitchen. Hope this helps.

Regardless of the time of day it comes on when it's dark. So if you have a room without windows the light will illuminate. However I bought two of these and after only three months of use one no longer works. I hope this information helps!

You should plug it in and turn off the lights from the lamps in the room and close the windows at day. It lights up in darkness only. If it's day and you have natural light across a window for example, it won't work because it lights only in the obscurity. The most obscurity, the most light. Beside that, it should work, if not maybe there is a problem. We haven't used it yet constantly, we only used it in Christmas day to see if it worked and how it works because it was a gift for our son, and he hasn't put it still in his bedroom. Hope this help you.

This works in daylight but if the lazy Susan's movement is what you want to activate it, it won't do it. It needs human movement. I put my light on my kitchen cabinet to make sure it worked in the daylight. The light I have has the sensor on the edge of one corner and has 10 little lights. It was $6.99

I don't think it is bright enough to be a kitchen light (esp as the only light- possibly with additional task lighting...) We have 3 in our upstairs hall- a nice soft light but may not provide enough light for kitchen tasks (only has one bulb under the frosted glass). Hope this helps!

Hello Steve, this is not a good choice for low-light conditions. It only works in daytime, or indoors with good lighting.

Not my experience, I have it in a small closet with the light centered in the middle of the ceiling and even if I have the hallway light on and open the door the light comes on routinely. It also comes on during daylight hours as well and though my hallway is a bit dark, it is no where near pitch black or super bright.

It uses the light as the sensor for the led it only works in the dark and when your using it
