GE 56765 Automatic Security Light Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The advertised application for the GE Automatic Security Light Kit #56765 is perfect for many small security systems and spot security applications but the functional application is much different. When I tested this product, I found the functional ranges to be far less sensitive than advertised.
Instead of a 50-foot range of IR sensitivity, I found it to be effective to 20 feet in the best-case scenario indoors. Another disappointment was the range of the wireless signal. Instead of the advertised at 150 foot radio range I found it struggling to keep contact at 40 feet with a clear line of sight to the receiver. Any material including paper and cardboard adversely affected the signal.
Another point where I found discrepancies is the indoor / outdoor installation ability. The advertising stated this product could be used indoors and outdoors. It is not sealed to weather and when outdoors the range drops to 5 feet for IR sensing and 15 feet for wireless. As an alternative, when I attempted to use the IR sensing function through window glass it was not a functional at all.
Now the good news... Within the limited ranges of 10 feet for IR sensing and 25 feet wireless, indoors this product works flawlessly. It is perfect to turn lights on when someone enters a room or for a display project. I would suggest a variable cycle time on the product from 10 minutes down to 5 and possibly 1 minute.
In closing, I have used GE security products for some time and am familiar with their abilities. The specifications for this product led me to expect the same level of functionality I have come to expect from GE in the past. I was disappointed with the functionality and real capabilities of this product and suggest you only use if for carefully selected projects.
