Evoges EvoSense Black PIR Motion Sensor, IP65 Outdoor use, 180° Degree 12m motion detection range, 300W LED compatible, Up and down swivel adjustment, Surface wall mounted

Easy to install and great range for censor .

What is there to say, I used this to replace a motion sensor I had as a like for like replacement, it worked, so I was happy.

Well made plenty of room for connections.only downside the detection range is a bit out.

I like how much space there is in the back, usually with these kinds of things you have to fit it all inside a tiny little compartment. This makes installation so much less fiddly

Not well thought out at all!The problem comes trying to mount it.The screw and cable exits are on the same side as the screw and settings,So… if you mount it below the light , as most people will, can get at the screw and settingsBUT the cables must go round it to get to the light. Or stand it off. Neither is good,Or If you mount it above the cable exits are the right side , but how do you get at the screw?Why didn’t they design it with a base that could flip either way?Also , it is a switch , so the obvious thing to do is take the mains incomer to it. Then a second cable to the light. They do make provision for two cable entry exits.But if your light is class 1 earthed as many are there is no earth screw to link them.So my opinion is it is badly let down by lack of foresight.

Excellent quality motion sensor, well made and easy to connect up, effective in operation.Decent range of options for sensitivity and time on, with the time dial allowing between 10 seconds and 15 minutes. The angle of the sensing head also has a good range of adjustment.Connected up to a 100w LED floodlight, great to be able to have the sensor mounted in a different place to the actual light, rather than being restricted to the range of movement of a sensor mounted on a floodlight body.Made the connections in a nearby junction box, taking the earth straight to the light fitting, sending the neutral and live to the sensor then back to the light fitting as a switched live. All fairly straight forward to do, saving having to cram everything into the back of the sensor body.There are grommets on the back of the unit to allow for the cable in and cable out, with some cut-outs you can pop out of the casing to bring the wires out from the unit.

Inadequate wiring space and minimal attempt at preventing water ingress. Thin breakable plastic.

As you can see from the side-by-side comparison this is a dead ringer for a Steinel IS1 (probably the best outdoor PIR I've ever owned). It's the same size, same shape, has the same adjustment angles (the head can be adjusted side to side and up and down), everything.Unscrewing the back cover reveals a three-terminal connector block, with no provision for an earth terminal. It's possible to fit a terminal block with four or five terminals though, to accommodate additional wires. The Steinel has a separate earth terminal but no room for a bigger terminal block.The terminal area is sealed (almost, there appears to be a gap in the sealant on mine) to prevent water ingress into the next compartment (the side-to-side angle section). There are two plastic grommets to take incoming and outgoing cables, but it appears possible to drill and fit a conduit bushing here if you wanted to run a 20mm conduit straight in through the wall.There's contradictory information on the box; on one side it says it supports 300W LED or 1200W incandescent, on another side the figures are reversed. According to the label on the back of the PIR itself though, it's 300W LED and 1200W incandescent.All in all it's a good, highly adjustable sensor and if it's anything like the Steinel it's imitating it'll certainly last.
