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: Little Competition.....
Summary: 3 Stars
There are not too many readily available Occupancy Sensors.
So this is about the only product I could find for a reasonable price at the local hardware store or online.
My main gripe is that like advertised here, it says it works with fluorescent and Incandescent. But thats certainly misleading as it only works with magnetic ballast fluorescent lights.
Not the newer, fast on, electronic balast lights.
(Magnetics are usually the long ones that flicker before turning on.)
So if your like me and looking to add to the savings by using with a typical screw in flurecent bulb, you will be out of luck.
As it will either flicker when turned off, or not turn on at all.
Leviton apparently has a sensor which will work with electronic ballast lights, but its way way way more expensive, and nearly impossible to find to say the least.
im just disapointed.
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: Ok, but be careful

This works great for common lights but read all of the product details to verify that it will work with your lights.Customer Review: Product description is not accurate.
Summary: 3 Stars
Description is incorrect. Its a has a 150 degree sensing angle NOT 180 as described. Also, its white not ivory.Customer Review: Not ball while it lasts
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had three of these switches in my garage. They all worked very well --- for about one year. After a year, the sensor fails and I am left with a manual on/off switch. If I wanted a manaul on/off switch this would not be my choice.
I'm looking at motion sensor switches again because it is time to replace the third switch. Call me old fashioned, but I would expect a switch to last for at least five years. If you consider the cost of ownership to include annual replacement, this is not a bad product.
