Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert PIR720RN Motion Sensing Light SocketCustomer Review: Great While They Last... Summary: 2 StarsI've owned four of these, since I need two. That is, I first had two, then two replacements. I currently have none functioning, which is why I returned to this page.
I am pleased to see their price has come down a bit, since these are essentially disposable units. The reviewer who notes that she had one fail when the bulb burned out is not alone.
In fact, in my experience, all four of the units I have owned all failed the first time the the bulb in them failed. When a bulb in it blows, the unit simply fails and will never work again. I kept one alive a bit longer by being sure to swap out the bulb at regular intervals, trying to avoid having a bulb burn out in it.
Then I tried to get clever: In the last surviving unit, I put in a CFL bulb that claimed to last 5 times a normal bulb without burning out. I can now attest that the unit does not work well with CFL bulbs. The first time it came on it was dim, but functional. The next time it was flickering noticably, but I was on my way out and left the CFL in place. When I came home, both the brand new CFL bulb I had installed and the unit were dead.
All that being said, I may get another, since - as the title says - they're great while they last.
