Bright and Very Motion Sensitive
These are plenty bright for my entire garage. I like the flexibility of aiming each of the three panels like I want. The motion sensor is crazy sensitive. The garage light now comes on immediately when I open the door, as opposed to the last light we had which waited until you stepped through the door to come on. It also comes on at night sometimes when a car just passes by outside the window. That never happened before with the other lights, but I just have to keep the side window covered now. The only negative I see is there is no adjustment for sensitivity, or for how long the light stays on. It stays on about 15 seconds after motion stops, so when I'm at my work bench I have to keep moving - or just turn another light on. I would like to be able to adjust that longer, about 30 seconds would be better I think. It's not a big deal if you have other lights. This light just gives you time to get to them when you first walk in, or drive in.

Perfect so far!
Only had this in the overhead socket in my 2- car garage for a couple of days/nights, but so far I'm impressed! The sensitivity is, for lack of a better word, perfect. I open the door from the house to the garage and with the combination of motion- (and, I guess, vibration?) sensing the lights go on instantaneously. If I leave the garage, door(s) closed, or stand perfectly still in the garage, the lights go out in about 2 minutes. If I stand perfectly still long enough just a slight motion turns the lights back on. I have a couple of large LED fixtures in the garage to give decent light, but I actually don't need to turn them on most times because this product puts out plenty of light.... enough for me to go rummaging for something in the garage, even in cabinets or drawers, without having to turn on other lights. The other thing I like about this is the weight.... how little this weighs. I have a duplex (plug) receptacle in the ceiling, so had to put this light into a socket with prongs that go into the receptacle. If it were too heavy I'd have to worry about the whole thing eventually wiggling out from repeated vibrations (doors opening/closing), but this is light enough that I don't think I have to worry about the thing falling.We haven't had any subzero days/nights, nor spells of very high temps, so I don't know how well this product will handle it.... other products serving basically the same purpose don't handle temperature extremes well at all. I'm optimistic, though, and so far very pleased with the purchase!

Beautifully bright, but wish I had not purchased the motion operated model
I bought 4 of these for my garage. They're bright - they're so incredibly and beautifully bright; as I replaced each bulb with these, it was like adding 500x more light, and it's a good light that doesn't hurt your eyes to work under.The motion detection I'm not as pleased with. They detect motion and turn on, but they don't stay on long enough and you can't adjust the duration. This may lead me to replace them with the non-motion ones at some later date.If the duration were 10-15 min instead of 2-3, I'd give these 5 stars. Overall I'm quite pleased with the purchase.

I did it myself
Super easy. Like screwing in lightbulb. I begged my husband to resolve the light problem in the garage. It would not auto light upon entering. I felt unsafe getting out of my car in dark garage. I took matters into my own hands. This motion detection is super sensitive. Somehow it picks up motion through the garage wall or door. The light is the brightest white I've ever seen. I just wish there was a code that I could use so it would only come on for me and leave you-know-who in the dark 😄

very sensitive, works well.
This light will activate as I walk up to my garage door. I thought it was broken at first. I initially thought it was never shutting off, until the first night I noticed through a crack in the doorway that the light turned on as I approached. The only negative I would say is if I am working at the tool bench, and not moving enough for the light, the light will shut off. Simple fix, and just move in a larger motion. I would purchase again.

If you're looking for motion sensitive look elsewhere
I bought two of these for two different areas in the house. The motion sensing doesn't appear to function at all. I tried leaving them on and left the rooms - both stayed on for hours. There's nothing happening in those rooms - a utility room and an unfinished storage area. I'll keep them for ultra bright light in those but will leave the light switches off so they don't keep running. While I ordered the motion sensing product, both boxes I received note nothing about motion sensing.Another oddity which I assumed was related to motion sensing is that within a few seconds of being turned on, they turn off for a second then back on and stay on. Weird. But they're not primary living quarters and I don't feel like bothering with a return so I'll leave them in.From what I read in other reviews, the motion sensing is too short, too sensitive, and not customizable in any way. Brightness is great and they're easy to install but the motion sensing is crap - nonexistent on both units.

Needs to have adjustments for time it stays on- Stopped working properly in a month or so
It was very easy to install, and I just bypassed the regular switch so no one turns it off. I installed two where 4' fluorescences had been. The three negatives are:1. You cannot adjust the length of time is stays on, so while working, it ends up going on and off.2. You cannot adjust the distance it detects motion. I'd like it to detect a little farther away, but that is set.3. You can adjust light between horizontal and vertical, but can't turn the panels to provide more light in any direction.They are a little confusing, as somewhere I read them say to keep them 8 meters from garage door openers or other units. That is over 26 feet. Not very many garages have places more than 26 ft from the door opener.EDIT after a month or so: The light closest to the house door (and primary garage door) no longer comes on unless you move under it. It can't detect my movement at my workbench 8 feet away, so shuts down, even when it is pitch black and I'm cutting a piece of wood with a power saw. I replaced it yesterday with one with a remote and timer.
