Too soon for feedback on performance in practice but I was impressed by
the range of adjustments and by the way wireless remote worked from
inside the house (which allows manual override).

Hi Robin,

I recently bought one of these (warm white instead of cool) however my remote needs pointing directly at the front of the light to operate it... It certainly wouldn't work from inside the house (yet I'd like it to!).

It sounds like your remote might a radio one? Mine definitely has an IR LED on the top of it. Here are some pics of my box and remote (labelled JIR2458) - is it the same as yours?

It is only reading Alan's original post that has made me realise that without a remote that can function from inside I too won't have a manual override!


D'oh!

a. that is the same (save for the colour temp.)

b. I'm ashamed to say I didn't look at the remote, just misread the
specs. ("microwave sensor and remote control")

c. the remote does work from inside the house *but* only because the
sensor is in line of sight of the window over the drawer under where the
remote is stowed. It's a window with no fancy coatings on the glass
though, so even that's not guaranteed.

Move over Homer, there's a new chump on the block.
