Westek Motion Sensor Light Control - Plug-in Indoor Motion Activated Switch

Okay, this Westek motion sensor light control is seriously handy for automating lights around your house. It's a simple plug-in device that turns whatever you plug into it on when it detects motion - lights, lamps, even radios or small appliances. The 6-foot cord is awesome because you can position the motion sensor part separately from whatever you're controlling. The detection range is up to 25 feet with a 100-degree wide angle, so it covers a good-sized room or hallway. The specs are solid - handles up to 1200 watts for regular bulbs or 240 watts for halogen lights. Installation couldn't be easier: just plug it into any standard wall outlet, then plug your lamp or device into it. The plastic housing is durable but not bulky. I've used these in several spots around my house - in the laundry room so the light comes on when I walk in with armloads of clothes, in the basement hallway so you don't have to fumble for switches, and in my home office for a lamp that turns on automatically when I walk in. The motion sensitivity is just right - it detects people walking normally but doesn't get triggered by pets or minor movements. The automatic shut-off feature means your lights won't stay on forever after you leave the room. Great for saving energy and adding convenience to any room. The white color blends with most wall colors and the compact design doesn't stick out too much. Seriously, once you start using motion-activated lights, you'll wonder how you lived without them.
