Traditional / Classic Two Light Large Outdoor Flood Motion Detector Lamp from the Motion Detectors Collection 4.3 5 3 4
No bulbs! Nice looking light but I don't want to have to also pick up bulbs - plus they're expensive. Plan on adding another $15 for bulbs! Booo! November 15, 2010
Exactly what it appears to be. Heavy, well constructed light with good casing. Better than could get at home improvement store - look nice on the corners of our new home. August 14, 2010
Motion Detector and Spotlight We bought this Designers Fountain light for two reasons: as a typical motion detector and also as a spotlight when grilling. Through the inside switch, we can set it to be always on (so no need to create motion every few minutes while grilling). Afterwards, we use the inside switch to reset the light to the motion detector mode. With the bulbs encased, the fixture looks like the more expensive ones. We bought another one for the driveway.

I lost my manual and the light won't shut off, why?

If you wired the Designers Fountain P218C to operate with a wall switch and bypassed the motion detector, this could result in the light being on at all times. The other issue is if there is a lot of motion in your yard, the light would constantly sense this motion and be on continuously.

Is that true about hooking up all motion detector lights? One switch for each light?

Hooking up motion detector lights is all about how you wire them in. You can have more than one light on a switch. It is up to how you wire the fixtures.

What is the degree/radius of the motion sensor?

The Designers Fountain P218C hasa 180 degree detection angle and detects motion up to 60 ft. away.

Can 2 of these lights be installed on one switch?

Two of the fixture Designers Fountain P218C can not be installed on one switch as the wiring only allows for one.

Can this light be installed hanging down from the eave?

The Designers Fountain P218C can be hung from the eave, but depending on the slope that will affect how the motion sensor works.

Can this light work in manual mode and motion sensor turned off?

is this light designed to be mounted such that it can be rained on, or is it an 'under eave' mount only?

1) Can the lights be adjusted up/down and left/right? Can the position/aim of the motion detector be adjusted?

can this light install on a electrical outlet 3 x 4....

The Designers Fountain 2371-AM-ORB has a backplate that measures 4-3/8" wide x 6-1/4" high. It will work for your application.

How would you wire this light to turn on/off with a switch, and also function via the motion sensor at night?
