Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leviton PR150-1LW 500W, Single Pole, 150 Degrees, 350 sq. ft. Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, Residential Grade, White
Customer Review: Check your flourescent lighting
Summary: 1 Stars
If you use flourescent lighting, be sure you only use a magnetic ballast, not electronic. This switch causes the lights to flicker continuously when it is OFF, and causes the lights to buzz when it is ON. Yes, so the package does say it supports up to 400W MAGNETIC flourescents, but it does not explicitly say you can't use ELECTRONIC flourescents on the outside; only in the manual (after you have ripped open the plastic packaging.Customer Review: Not even for magnetic ballast fluorescents
Summary: 1 Stars
I installed this switch and my magnetic ballast fluorescent lights come on with about half the normal brightness and they flicker. When I move the switch to "on" the lights operate normally. I tested the voltage and found that when the switch is on "on" I get 120 volts to the light but when it is on "auto" I get only 107 volts -- not enough to get the lights started.Customer Review: Works fine - in the right setting!
Summary: 3 Stars
We've used these switches in a mudroom and in a garage for years and have never had problems. A little bit of fiddling with the time and sensitivity controls, and you're set. However, the switches do not work well with compact fluorescent lights. And yes, the light may go off if you're in the room for a while and not moving, which is why there is a time-set control!Customer Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I installed this switch less than year ago and it no longer works. When it did work it would turn on when you were 30 feet away and had not use for it to come on; when you were in the room it wouldn't turn on unless you ran your hand over the sensor and then it would turn off just as you were reaching for something you needed. I think it enjoyed the tricks.Customer Review: Not a great product
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought... all switches like this were the same. Not so.
This switch does not allow for energy saving fluorescant bulbs to be used, nor does it stay on very long when in use. As an example: I go into the room looking for something and shortly thereafter, the light goes off even if I am moving around. Just what does motion detection mean?
