AmazonBasics Equivalent Sensor Non Dimmable Daylight Reviews Summary

Sensor Functionality

Pros:

• "They turn on and off right on time…on cue."
• "It automatically senses the light and turns the bulbs on at night time and off during the day time."

• "I love this because I don’t have to worry about turning on light."
• "These are so easy to use Put these in like regular bulbs."
• "The built-in sensor is pretty accurate."
• "The photovoltaic eye works great."

Cons:

• "Worked great the first 24 hours, and then nada - they aren't turning on at dusk and when I manually turn them on, they are not going off at dawn."
• "The bulb circuitry apparently needs about 15 mins of actual darkness before it turns on."
• "See review title. I bought these bulbs for one reason: because they are supposed to turn off automatically during the day. They do not turn off automatically during the day. 0 stars."
• "Overall I like these bulbs... the sensor is a bit too quick to turn the bulb on during the day."
• "These bulbs flash like the dickens when it detects motion."
• "These lights do NOT work in a can light fixture outside."
• "These bulbs worked wonderfully and were super bright. I returned them only because they were too bright on my garage."

Brightness and Light Quality

Pros:

• "The daylight is crisp bright light and the soft white provides a softer more yellow traditional outdoor light glow."
• "They are actually useful in terms of how much light they give off at night. You can actually see!!!"
• "The light is warm and bright."
• "It's the right amount of light for my needs and is not too dim."
• "The light is brighter!! But it’s led so costs less to use."
• "They are bright and give off a lot of light in the area."
• "Love the light bulb.. lights up the back entrance very good.. plus I don't have to turn the switch on because it it goes on at dusk."

Cons:

• "Also, it's not super bright. But it gets the job done."
• "Turns out they were way too bright for my carport."
• "One of the two bulbs does not turn on."
• "Not as bright as I thought it would be compared to other 60w."
• "They didn't fit in our out door fixtures because they're some of the largest household bulbs I've seen."
• "These work as described they never fail to come on or go off when they should BUT they are very bright for just porch and deck lights."
• "In my opinion, these light bulbs get extremely hot very quickly."

Longevity and Durability

Pros:

• "Bought these back in November 2019... It's now August 2020 and they are still good."

• "I’m writing this review over a year later, as I am due to order more. 1st order was Sept ‘21 & bulbs burnt out Nov ‘22. Work perfectly & long lasting."
