Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 55217 Outdoor Motion Activated Adapter

Customer Review: Works well, but is not pretty. Needs a 9V battery, which is not mentioned in description.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have two of these. One I use in my pantry, connected to a regular clip on light. The light turns on when you open the door, and off a minute after you close it. Now my kids no longer leave the light on in there all night.

The second is mounted to an outside light. Its pretty ugly with the coil hanging out of the bottom but it is MUCH easier to aim a motion detector that is separate from the light so that it is not set off by trees, animals etc.

You can set this to 4 options with small switches underneath. Your options are night only, day and night, and 1 or 10 minute shutoff after motion. It needs a 9V battery. The one in my pantry lasts about a year, being turned on and off at least 5 times a day. If it starts acting erratic you probably need to replace the battery.

The sensor has a small plastic ball on the back that mounts into a socket that is on the plate you attach to the wall. One of my plastic balls did snap off eventually and I had to putty it back on.

I do use it with a compact florescent bulb and it works fine.
