SUPERNIGHT DC 5V-24V 5A PIR Motion Activated Sensor Switch with DC Coupler Cable for LED Strip Light

These work with the the Torchstar lighting system. They're plugged right in between the power supply and the switch. I did have to shave back some of the socket housing a bit so that it would be a snug fit. You no longer have to take the back off to adjust the time setting as they put a hole in the back for you to get to the potentiometer. I didn't realize that and thought the potentiometer was a screw to take the back off. I'm sure I broke it. That was user error. But it still works very well. I think I probably now have it set to the maximum time which is somewhere around 6 minutes.

Just what I needed for my shoe closet LED strip. I stand in front of the sensor (about 2ft) and bam! It turns on my LED strips letting me see my shoes. As long and it senses movement it stays on but shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity. I will definitely buy more for other ideas around the house

It worked fine out of package with the preset default delay within the specs. I purchased this because it was stated as adjustable delay from 2 seconds to whatever, I forget, but out of package it was 20 seconds. When I popped the back off to turn the pot down closer to the 2 second interval the delay bounced all over the place randomly. I would say it is just cheap and even though it says it is adjustable, to not mess with it. As is, it is what you get and it probably would have worked. Four stars would have been generous, but three is fair. The product works but they don't really expect you to adjust it. I'll take away the generous star because if you advertise the adjustment it ought to work. The next week I purchased the sensky, it cost a couple dollars more, but it did come in a retail package, rather than in plain baggy. I would guess it was probably a "second" since there are many variations listed on amazon and many prices. Most products have the same description with only slight differences in the specs. One of the products does say to not set at minimum delay because it will malfunction, so I gave one star back because it might have been this product, so I'll take fault and not return. It still works and i'll rebuild it later with a better part. I'm not knocking this product, but i did expect a little better out of this since supernight is billed as the bestselling on amazon in many of the LED components. It works, but just wasn't reliable for adjustment. If you want a simple motion detector switch to fire up an LED project and at the pricepoint by all means, buy this with out hesitation. If you want something that has reliable delay spend a little more, but read the reviews and compare those to what the specs advertise before purchasing.

My DVR for a security camera was detecting too much as motion. Was also recording when lighting changed. I only wanted to record when someone was there. PIR sensor added near camera - placed at 12v supply to camera. Uses same plug and jack that camera has so very easy install. I did have to take the camera off a 4 way power splitter and put it on its own power supply. Found a review by someone else that mentioned something about needing a dedicated ground. When on the four way splitter the switch stayed on. The set screw adjustment inside the switch housing works - tried from lowest - just a few seconds to highest - several minutes. Using indoors - not waterproof.

Complete piece of trash. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. This unit will not shut off. It stays on 24/7. It's build quality is trash and is nothing I'd trust. Please find a more reliable solution and avoid this unit.

very quick way to get your strip led lights on a motion senor. I tested it on both 12v and 600led 24v 2.5A , and it did not choke. The sensor looks like a 180degree , seems more like 110. like it would be good to "aim" at the sense location, or put it up high. There is a secret, inside . a Qualified electrohandy person could carefully open the case. Inside they will find (well in mine) a Trimpot YAY. with proper tool and lite of hand , a person could carefully adjust the dial. Default timing is ~17 seconds on time the trimpot will adjust in usable increments to ~5 Minutes Feature :-)

I created a Halloween animatronic using a wiper motor. I plugged this sensor into the wiper motor and then to a 12v power adapter. The result is my animatronic goes off when the sensor detects motion. Super easy to install and works like a charm.

A cheap, simple way to add motion sensing to LED lighting. I plugged it in, stuck it on the wall, and when I walk into the closet, the lights come on. It doesn't get much simpler. Now, this is DC and it's plugged to work with LED light strips and the sort. If that's what you're looking for, you're in luck. I have it set in a way that it activates when a door is opened so I don't have a good range estimate. It automatically shuts the lights off after 15-16 seconds of no motion. Neither delay nor proximity are adjustable. It's really just plug-and-play and that's fine for my needs.
