 Pretty Good, Overall October 18, 2008
J. Fazio (Nassau County, New York)
I agree with all the negative reviews that this product received in that the lights come on too early no matter how you adjust the settings. In my case, the lights come on about an hour earlier than I'd like them to and tend to go on and off throughout an overcast day. But otherwise, this product is a good value for the price. It is very easy to install and configure, much more so than typical low voltage lighting transformers. Although the issues with this product do cause it to waste some electricity, the amount wasted is probablly not likely have much of an impact on your electric bill.
Terrible waste of money December 31, 2007

I bought this unit thinking it would keep me from having to reset the timer every time the power goes out, or change the timer due to seasonal changes in sunsets... I needed 100 watts, no more, no less for the application. But with the settings tweaked to the extreme, the units still comes on at 4:00 in the afternoon with the sun still shining. On a southern wall, with some shade but not too much. Even overcast skies tripped the dang thing. Malibu's suggestion is to move the unit to a lighter area. Can't do that without relocating the receptical it plugs into, right?
Can't return the thing, either, since the receipt got misplaced, and the box thrown away(purely my fault). So I'm stuck. Buyer beware, I predict that many of these units will be returned for those "inconvenient" mechanical timer units.
Light sensor does not work properly June 26, 2008

this is a well made solid unit. as other reviewers describe , no matter what adjustment you make the lights will turn on too soon, when it is not even dark yet. ENERGY WASTER!
I had to add this Coleman Cable Outdoor Digital Timer #4600 and set the transformer to manual to get it to work properly
Defective Power Pack Returned; Replacement Doesn't Work Well June 5, 2008

I returned the first power pack that I received. I was unable to set the sensitivity to light; the pressure switch would not work. It was very difficult to set the amount of time that the power would remain on; the timer pressure switch was almost impossible to activate. The replacement power pack allows me to at least use the pressure switches, but I am unable to control light sensitivity.
Lights come on all the time! July 13, 2008

We bought this product for the same reason as everyone else -- it looked simple, easy to install, and sturdy. We were delighted with how easy it was to set the lights. No more fussing with timers! Unfortunately, it was too good to be true. We're taking it back today (the second day) due to the fact that the lights come on all the time, regardless of how bright it is outside. It's summer, with full sun blazing down on us, but the lights come on when a cloud passes over. We adjusted the sensitivity several times but nothing worked. It was disappointing.
