I have two lights outside my garage will this motion sensor control both lights? Both lights are on one light switch.

Two lights on one switch should be no problem. The switch goes to one light which is wired to the second light. Just wire the motion sensor to the first light that is connected to the switch. Once installed the light switch is left on so if anything enters the 110 degree area of the sensor it will turn both lights on.

It should but be certain the total wattage does not exceed the maximum specified for the unit.

Try this link: http://www.renovation-headquarters.com/wiring-multiple-motion-sensors.html It is similar to what you are trying to do,but it uses external sensors.

You would have to wire in two switches to each pair of lights to do so. The control box has just one button that you have to hold down to make work. I swapped the button to wire in a switch to have an on all the time or off

No, the remotes all have a different code. If you have two sets of lights plugged together you can use one remote.

I think what you are trying to do will work. The sensor and the lamps are adjustable in multi direction. You just need to be sure to shield the sensor from the lights and you will be ok.

Ours is wired to use two switches. Not an electrician, but I would imagine you could wire them both to one switch if desired.

Yes a motion sensor is just another form of a switch the light doesn't know what's telling it to come on and doesn't care. Good to go.

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

I can't get it to work with my motion sensor switch.I installed 3 of them on my ceiling fixture and my motion sensor switch can turn the bulbs on but cannot turn them off.

One or the other, not both. To use the motion sensor the switch must be "on"; then when it is light outside the lamp is "off", but when motion is detected in the dark, it comes "on".

2 will because there are only 2 connection the third will have to be connected to one of the other lights. I have them daisy chained.

It is a standard dual light fixture that may be run off of a switch is you desire that kind of control. It has a third hole (plugged by default) between the two lights where a light sensor can be wired in, and then it stays on when it is dark outside. The same third hole could also accommodate a motion detector, and then whatever kind of motion detector you select would control the lights.

Be happy that the motion sensing works for u. In mine it did not. Without a separate light sensor you cannot do what you want

Bruce, If I were wiring it up an did not want it to come on during the day you could do a couple things. 1. Switch to a standard motion sensor used on fixtures such as those over residential garage doors they are motion only when dark and run less than $20. 2. If you do need this style of motion sensor for your application put a photo cell in series before the sensor and fixture so the motion sensor and fixture only get power to operate when dark that fix could be done for about $15. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected.B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

You can use one remote but you have to turn each one on individually. Also be aware that even though it says they have memory to retain your settings, that is only if you turn it off with the remote. If they loose power for any reason your settings are lost! Poor design for a commercial outdoor fixture.
