Installed this product today and they do not work with compact florescent lights. The lights just flickered on and off at dust. Install a regular light bulb and I was not impressed with the performance.

I have searched and searched for a light control that will do the most simple thing they are supposed to do turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. This one doesn't either. Even a very mild overcast day fools it and it turns all the lights on. I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to design the light sensor to be less sensitive, but it seems to be beyond the capabilities of everyone I've tried thus far.Best Deals for Thomas & Betts Auto Photo Control Xp150d Sensors Motion Photo
Day 2 with this adjustment knob and it seems to be working great. As one of the other reviewers said DO NOT use this for CF bulbs. It applies power based on it's light sensor and a partial charge seems to short CF bulbs. When I got it installed (which was easy enough to screw in), I had to use a screwdriver to slide the adjustment slider a little and now it works perfectly. My door is in a heavily wooded area but it still is sensitive enough to know the difference between night and day and begins to come on at dusk like it is supposed to. Wonderful device.Edit:
Day 8 and it is still working as I expected. It dims with more daylight so it stays off generally after the late morning to late afternoon and it comes on on rainy days.
Edit:
Week 2 and it seems not to really adjust anymore, not sure what happened. Stays on all the time now.

We had a different brand for years and it finally died. It had the problem where it stays on all day most days.This one is better, it actually turns off in the day :)
