The First Alert PIR720RN Motion Sensing Light Socket can change any regular light socket into a motion sensing light. Unlike ordinary motion lights there is no expensive installation with the First Alert PIR720RN. It is able to operate in pitch black or in daylight and is ideal for laundry rooms, garages, basements or closets. It works by sensing motion up to twelve feet away when installed at an eight foot height. Once there is no more motion detected the light automatically shuts off after for minutes of non movement.
Installation is easy and similar to any standard light bulb replacement. All you do is just screw the motion-sensing socket right into an existing light socket, and then screw the light bulb into the new fixture. For maximum motion sensitivity, the fixture can be adjusted by turning the 180-degree points to face a door or any other high-traffic area as needed.The socket works with 25-100 watt bulbs, but it does not work with shaded, or halogen bulbs. The fixture comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Using a motion sensing adapter like this can help you reduce your energy consumption and ultimately cut your electric bill.

Reviews
I installed one of these in a closet with a pullchain switched socket which my mother could not reach, and it has worked great so far. Even at $25 it is a great deal considering installing a simple wall mounted manual switch would probably cost just as much in material, plus at least a couple of hours labor installing it, without the advantage of having it motion controlled. The only concern I have is with all the reviews that say the electronics in the unit get fried when the lightbulb burns out. If this is the case then it seems like First Alert should advise you to put a brand new bulb in to begin with and maybe change the bulb twice a year or so, as this would be much cheaper than buying a new motion sensor. I intend to contact First Alert (1-800-323-9005) to see if this is a manufacturing problem, and whether the 3 year warranty will cover it.
Does not work well. When it does work, long delay. Replaced it with a remote light switch.
Worked for one day. I used it with a CFL and it seemed to work for a while now it just flickers the CFL and won't turn on an incandescent at all. As others have said it requires some light to be present for the motion sensor to work.
Was great for about 5 minutes until it stopped working. Okay, maybe it was two days. It definitely wasn't more than that. I'm still in denial that I paid money for this thing so it's a paperweight in my office.
Bought two, only one worked. The one that works does it anytime, day or night, it's hypersensitive.

Motion sensing light is very nice, all the features are so nice, thanks for the sharing. Last month I bought some identification supplies at consumer electronics store.
