Halo MS180 180 Degree Replacement Motion Security Floodlight Sensor, Bronze

worked great

I purchased this to replace an older Snap-It brand that is apparently out of business. It functions the same with the same wiring. The only thing experienced that threw me a curve was the Eaton has a Dusk-to-Dawn feature that causes the light to stay on at night. The instructions indicate in the trouble shooting section that in that situation, it is in the Dusk-to-Dawn mode, but nowhere else in the instructions is Dusk-to-Dawn mode mentioned let alone how to even get into that mode. I found that omission in the instructions a little disconcerting as it caused me a period of difficulty as the older Snap-It had no such feature although the units are essentially identical in looks. I didn't subtract a star for that but that is something Eaton should fix in their instructions because with some unknown sequence of operation of the switch, it activates the Dusk-to-Dawn feature although if it is in that mode, you turn it off for 40 seconds to exit that mode. Nice, but how does it get in that mode? I have no need for that Dusk-to-Dawn feature as the unit runs a relay and not the lights themselves and I have a manual switch that will turn them on or turn it off or turn the auto switch on for automatic function.

All-Pro MS180 Came with wire nuts and wires were labeled for easy installation, plus clear instructions (although the diagrams could have been clearer). Works with the led floodlight I wired it to; whereas the old sensor this replaced would cause the light to flash every couple seconds, wouldn't sense motion reliably, and would remain on constantly sometimes, this one does none of those. It reliably turns on with a click, and then off after a set time, and doesn't turn on during daylight thanks to the light sensing diode. It does not have sensitivity adjustment, though that didn't turn out to be a problem for me, it's something to be aware of. The time adjustment is arbitrary, probably just a simple circuit, so you have to figure out the range/scale yourself. Anyway, works well for my purposes. If you have an led light that flashes as long as it has power, you might consider this sensor to replace your existing one. It may not be the best, but at least it works.

Easy to install and it's working great sop far. Very sensitive too.

I've been looking for a different manufacturer to replace the Heath/Zenith units I've been using. Those last awhile but then fail in less than a year, at least in my experience. The Cooper went straight to work and performs just as needed and described. There is an indicator light to show power is on and a photo cell to keep the light from coming on during the day. Also, a 4 or 12 minute delay off selector plus the sensitivity/range dial. One word of caution though. Use a tool (pliers, strap wrench, etc., to screw the unit into the base plate. I know better and I still used the assembly for leverage. The "elbow" is plastic and is a small bit at that. Certainly not meant to handle that sort of load. Fortunately the screw was long enough and I removed the broken off part and put the screw back in and had enough thread to secure it with. Cooper Lighting MS180 180 Degree Replacement Motion Security Floodlight Sensor, Bronze Cooper Lighting MS180W 180 Degree Replacement Motion Security Sensor Floodlight, White I'll post an update after some time has passed.

I bought two of these units to replace two Heath/Zenith 5316s, one of which was nearly new. The Heath/Zenith 5316 sensors were problematic from the start and were too unreliable to give real peace of mind for their coverage areas. Various weather conditions would make them stop working altogether. The local home improvement and hardware stores only carry the Heath/Zenith products or the same products under a different brand name, but fortunately we're no longer at the mercy of the local store and what they have in stock. I have both of my Cooper MS180Ws installed and both are working perfectly. I've had chances to test them in weather conditions under which the Heath/Zenith units failed (cool and/or very humid) and they continued to work flawlessly. They are a bit physically larger than the Zenith 5316 but this is apparently to accomodate an oversized lens, which I have to believe helps with it's more consistent detection range and ability. This unit has a brighter, round LED located on the bottom and works opposite of the Zenith model. The LED stays on constantly to show that the unit is in the "armed" condition and blinks off when motion is detected. Also, unlike the ones they replaced, these units make an audible click when triggered, meaning they probably have a more robust relay than the Zenith models. The best part is that they're reliable. I now feel confident that the areas these units are monitoring are protected, and that's the main purpose for me. I would absolutley recommend this unit to everyone looking for a low-cost, reliable motion sensor and would definitely recommend it over it's competitor's weak offerings.

This motion sensor works great. Takes a little time to dial it in. But worth it

Installed this on the back deck, where the wife walks to the garage for her car. It didn't tale long to set it up so that the range and sensitivity were what we needed. It comes on within 2 steps of either the house or garage door, stays on for 2 minutes (which we want) but doesn't come on when the leaves are blowing off the trees. A cat can set it off, but thats ok. Works well, thank you

Really nice simple unit, direct replacement for my original one. Really simple to setup and seems to be of good quality. Most importantly the wires are a standard color black, white and red

Mike from Ottawa, Ontario The Cooper Lighting MS180 appears to function as intended. However, one draw back is that you cannot set the sensitivity, because the device does NOT have this feature. Also keeping in mind that the instructions state that only one of these sensors can be used on one switch and I believe this to mean one circuit also. The red LED light ... technician stated that it will only function (blink) when something comes into the target area. That it the only time you will see this light illuminate. Pretty good 'bang' for your buck.

Sensor replacement took a bit of work but operates well once up. Great way to keep exiting motion detection LED light operational.

All happy with product. Use near indoor garage not having to put switches on and off always. Great!!.
