Do you have to buy a remote sensor or is in on the unit itself? I dont want to have a light with a remote I cant use

No it comes with both the remote and the sensor. No assembly required just use the rails to adjust to your tank. If you are using it in a freshwater the yellow setting is the recommended setting for planted tanks.

The remote sensor is wired into the wiring harness with about 4' of wire coming from the light so you have the 4' to mount the sensor where you want.

Its working fine, it is only a pressure switch. The remote will not turn the light on to stay. You will have to spend a bit more money to get a light with that feature.

I saw this hint in comments about another light. It fixed mine. Try tapping the body of the sensor with the power off.

The first thing would be to make sure it is compatible with the light you are using. That was a key factor for me when purchasing some of my lights. Otherwise just plug it in to the remote input on the back of the light.

Not real sure. You have to point the remote control towards the Infra-red sensor on the end of the light chain. If you are trying it in broad daylight, the sensor may not be picking up the Infra-red light. When I received ours, I plugged it into a 110v plug in our garage, activated the remote control, pointed the remote at the receiver on the end of the light chain and it worked fine. The first time I tried it outdoors I could not get it to work. Then I remembered to hold the remote closer to the sensor and it worked fine.

I don't think that that sounds right.With mine, there is no light on the unit unless I turn it on with the remote. At that time the red light on the unit comes on and my lights come on. When I turn it off with the remote, my lights and the red indicator go off.I hope that that is of some help

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

I'm not sure what a remote light is... if it's what I think it is, I guess you could splice another light into the wires going to the factory bulbs. Sorry, not much help.

You must aim the remote directly at the sensor, thats the only idea I have for ya

No it was not, I bought the external, secondary mounted motion sensor separately. It was pricey compared to other options, but it was the only solution that truly worked in my garage. Switch/sensor devices kept on turning the lights off in my garage while I was in it.

The light should come with instructions, if the instructions are missing then you insert the key that comes with the light into the hole next to the sensor and turn the light on, then all you have to do is charge it up.

You may be able to use the external sensor that came with the unit and see if it will pick up the remote. Mine worked fine out of the box, but if something is blocking the sensor on the front of the unit, you will have to use the external one. Hope that helps

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

I did not use a remote but I think one is available. We put it where the old exhaust fan was & it was easy to have the light & fan work separately. I love this little fan, just be careful after you install it that you don't drop the light cover like I did. Westinghouse was helpful in replacing it.

If you hook up your dim light they won't have any power with the motion sensor. They always be off.

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..
