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: Same poor experience as many others here
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this at the local Home Depot. I should have checked here first. I installed this in my garage in order to control three fluorescent ceiling fixtures (the long rod type, not CFLs). As others have mentioned, the best part of this switch that works perfectly are the ON and OFF positions. AUTO gives all sorts of problems, ranging from inconsistent activation to flickering. The flickering is the most annoying part. In "ON" the lights are fine. In AUTO they flicker or blink every so often. I'm returning this ASAP.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: 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: shopping for another option.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have purchased 2 of these in 1 year and 2 weeks. The first one lasted 2 weeks but the hall HAD to have one. So I bought another. It lasted one year. Now I still have the need, but have lost the Leviton desire. Trouble is, nothing in this class at a reasonable price. I HOPE the next brand lasts a bit longer...
