I have been very happily using a "15W Osram Dulux EL Sensor Energy
Saver" bulb. It's a typical low-energy bulb with a sensor that will
switch on/off in dark/light conditions respectively. The
differentiating feature is that it has a small dial on the side (that
the literature calls an 'electronic dimmer') which lets you adjust the
sensitivity of the sensor. This is tremendously useful as otherwise the
bulb would stay on for too long. Osram don't appear to make them any
more. I can get a typical bulb without adjuster with ease. I'd like to
find one that is adjustable. Osram don't make them any more. Does
anyone know where I can find an adjustable sensor low-energy light
bulb (preferably in the UK with bayonet fitting)? I've searched the web
& ngs fairly exhaustively (I think), and e.g. screwfix only have the
non-adjustable bulbs.
TIA

Nope! cant help you however probably a bit late now but Aldi had plug-in
digital timers on offer a few weeks ago(I bought 3 :-) ) whereby i can set
the time for the standard lamp/s to come on just as its going dark and also
off when its getting light.

Just a thought.

What's the application you are using it for?
Do you adjust the setting in use, or was it just for
the initial adjustment and then it's left unchanged?
Is it still working?

Already been down that route (Osram). They were very helpful, but they
don't make them any more. The suggestion was that they had had problems
with the adjuster. Thanks for the idea.

I tend to set it once and then leave it for ages.
Unfortunately the unit I have no longer works (hence the search for a
replacement). I've got an ordinary energy saver with sensor in, but
it's on for most of the day.
