Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Seems I remember seeing a device that you screw into a light socket and then screw the bulb into the the sensor. Can't find such a gizmo anywhere. I have solar on-off light bulbs, but can't find anything similar unless I'm willing to buy an entire light fixture, which I'm not. Suggestions?

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I don't need light sensors. I'm looking for a simple, screw in MOTION sensor. I can't believe I'm the only person on this entire planet that wants one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Amazon has a variety of these if you search “screw in motion sensor light socket” Look at the reviews. None get super high ratings but I think you might find something that will work for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 After a large search of every web site I could think and a dozen or so local stores I wandered into a little ACE Hardware store about six blocks away. They didn't have any in stock but they will call me Friday when they arrive. Pay on receipt will set me back a whopping $34.00. Sometimes things are so easy that they are embarrassing. Thanks, folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Lowes had a solar powered motion detector one that looks like it will work. Storming so I cant get it installed on my garage until it clears up. Got a simple solar floodlight for th front of the house. It has white, red, yellow, and green colored lights. Box says I can lock it on white but It doesn't tell me how. I'll checkout the company's web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollar to a dog biscuit says you have to do it on a smartphone app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
