There are 3 settings, including a test setting. I am keeping the light on for 1 minute. It is fairly sensitive but not so much that every little spider that walks by it sets it off. I feel much more secure having a working security light in my yard. I highly recommend the All Pro LED Floodlight. I will definitely replace my other security lights with this exact model. Much more efficient than traditional security lights, too.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We had one of the old fashioned halogen motion lights that used a lot of electricity, and I think when they get old their sensors go bad because it would sometimes stay on all night. So this looked like a good replacement.The first problem was that the old fixture had a surface mount box, and while some oudoor lights have small profile round "bases" that fit on these, this one was designed to attach to a recessed fixture, so it kind of protrudes without being weatherproof (which can be solved with caulk and gaskets, etc)
Another thing missing is an adjustment for sensitivity. You can adjust how long it stays on after being triggered, but not what level of motion it needs to trigger which is usually standard on such a light.
The adjustment of angles for the lights and the sensor are also a bit tricky to move around, but I didn't try a wrench which might have helped.
I really like the feature that if you flip the light switch it's attached to (if you have one) twice quickly it will stay on until dawn even without motion and that you can cancel this with another double switch.
The unit produces a really nice even bright light and looks nice in the white finish on our house.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Wow, this thing is a lot brighter than I expected. It's at least as bright as my old floodlight but the light is much whiter (versus the somewhat yellowish old floodlight lamps). Plus being LED with 35,000 hours of life it should be nice to never have to change the bulbs again. Good range of motion on the two lights and the motion sensor so you should have no trouble directing light and motion detection where you want it.Installation was straightforward. Operating instructions were simple and this actually supports several modes of operation:
* Auto -detects motion at night, turns on for the amount of time you set (up to 12 minutes).
* Dusk to Dawn -turns on when it gets dark, stays on for 6 hours
* Test -detects motion day and night, turns on for 4 seconds
This replaced my old motion detecting floodlight which mysteriously stopped working last year (bad motion sensor?). I guess we'll see how this holds up. No news is good news; if I haven't updated the review then it's still working good!
Honest reviews on All Pro Outdoor Security MST18920LW 180-Degree Motion Activated
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have a few existing motion security lights in my yard, but I installed this fresh in a new spot without existing wiring. Once the wires were in place, installing this was a breeze. No doubt if you have existing wiring, this would take mere minutes. The instructions in the box were definitely helpful, but for anyone with the least amount of experience installing lights, you won't even need them. It's that simple to figure out.One of the things I love about this light are the settings. Auto (which runs like any other safety motion detector and can range from staying on for 1 to 12 minutes), Dusk (turns on at dusk and stays on for 6 hours) and Test (tests the motion sensor day or night).
The light itself is so crisp and super white. And super bright! None of that mellow yellow incandescent light or garish fluorescent here. And not having to change the bulbs for, like, ever? Sold. Changing lights installed 10 feet in the air on the side of a building sucks.
Finally, the real test of a flood light... the sensor. You want something sensitive enough to catch a person or even an animal but you don't want it going off anytime a mouse walks by or a breeze ruffles some leaves. This sensor, so far, is perfection. It works exactly like I want it to. In fact, I love it so much I am going to replace all of my other lights with this one. Excellent.
