* Not a great product ...
I thought... all switches like this were the same. Not so.
This switch does not allow for energy saving fluorescant bulbs to be used, nor does it stay on very long when in use. As an example: I go into the room looking for something and shortly thereafter, the light goes off even if I am moving around. Just what does motion detection mean?

Waste of money
I installed this switch less than year ago and it no longer works. When it did work it would turn on when you were 30 feet away and had not use for it to come on; when you were in the room it wouldn't turn on unless you ran your hand over the sensor and then it would turn off just as you were reaching for something you needed. I think it enjoyed the tricks.

* Check your flourescent lighting ...
If you use flourescent lighting, be sure you only use a magnetic ballast, not electronic. This switch causes the lights to flicker continuously when it is OFF, and causes the lights to buzz when it is ON. Yes, so the package does say it supports up to 400W MAGNETIC flourescents, but it does not explicitly say you can't use ELECTRONIC flourescents on the outside; only in the manual (after you have ripped open the plastic packaging.

Product description is not accurate.
Description is incorrect. Its a has a 150 degree sensing angle NOT 180 as described. Also, its white not ivory.

* Little Competition..... ...
There are not too many readily available Occupancy Sensors.
So this is about the only product I could find for a reasonable price at the local hardware store or online.
My main gripe is that like advertised here, it says it works with fluorescent and Incandescent. But thats certainly misleading as it only works with magnetic ballast fluorescent lights.
Not the newer, fast on, electronic balast lights.
(Magnetics are usually the long ones that flicker before turning on.)
So if your like me and looking to add to the savings by using with a typical screw in flurecent bulb, you will be out of luck.
As it will either flicker when turned off, or not turn on at all.
Leviton apparently has a sensor which will work with electronic ballast lights, but its way way way more expensive, and nearly impossible to find to say the least.
im just disapointed.
