Decora Wall Switch with Pir Occupancy Sensor Review

Decora Wall Switch with Pir Occupancy Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you are using compact fluorescent bulbs, this is not the switch you want. The lights flicker and it burns out the bulbs prematurely. If you are (and always will be) using incandescent it may suit your needs.

Dont waste your money on this switch. While it does work, I find it flaky and inconsistent. Sometimes I can wave my hand in front of the switch for a minute before it finally turns on. Look for a better switch.

GE® Motion Sensing Switch - 2 Pack Review

GEĀ® Motion Sensing Switch - 2 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you use Compact Flourescent Lights this type of motion sensor does not work- the CFLs will flicker instead of turning off. CFLs are not compatible with most automatic-on motion sensors as they still require a bit of current flow. You need a motion sensor that includes a neutral wire, which is unfortunate for me as the wiring in my house is old and doesn't have neutral wires.

Corona Clipper 12-Foot Compound Action 1-Inch Capacity Tree Pruner With 13-Inch Saw Blade, Telescoping Fiberglass Handle & Non-Slip Grip TP 3841 Review

I thought about purchasing this item through ... but found it for less than the ... price listed at the time of this review.
None the less, this product does a pretty good job at cutting and extending to lengths that reach most of the limbs of a reasonably sized tree found in yards of most residences.
There were two things that stood out as far as dealing with this item. The minor of these is that the saw blade that is attached to the working end of this pole seems a bit too flexible. Would have been nice if it was made of sturdier metal. It was good however once you get a start in the cutting of the tree limb! Nice and sharp!
The second, more troublesome aspect, was that the screw-down, that keeps the pole from extending (more than your desired length) would sometimes allow the pole to slip through during the cutting of a limb. Hopefully, with use, this will eventually no longer occur.
Other than that, the foam grip area on the lower portion of the pole makes for a really great grip when in use.
And as far as the pruning blade goes; it was very easy to trim small branches!
While purchasing this item I saw others that had plastic/nylon parts. This one has metal (where the saw and prunining mechanism are attached).
Overall, I would say this is a good product to take care of most of your tree branch cutting needs.

The Corona Clipper 12-foot compound-action tree pruner is a versatile tool that gives you the combined benefits of a saw and bypass pruner for fast, easy pruning; the telescoping fiberglass pole adjusts to precisely the right length for small, medium or larger trees. Pass-thru shearing action drives a blade sharpened on both sides directly through the center of the hook, giving you more even cutting power and resisting the binding common with side-mounted blades. The fully heat-treated, Teflon-coated cutlery steel blade easily prunes branches up to 1 inch in diameter, while the 13-inch conventional saw blade can be used to remove larger limbs. The pruning head is made of die cast zinc alloy for added durability, and the pruner features a compound-action pulley system that increases your leverage and triples your cutting power. The strong, lightweight fiberglass pole telescopes to 12 feet with an infinitely adjustable twist-lock extender and non-pinching twistlock adjustment. The unique internal stop prevents the inner pole from separating from the outer pole. The pole features a comfortable non-slip 24-inch cushioned grip to relieve hand and muscle stress.

Solar Group GC1B0000 Large Deluxe Plastic Mailbox and Post Combo, Black Review

WOW!!! This is one tough Mailbox. I live in Punta Gorda Florida, and in 2004 we had a category 4 Hurricane by the name of Charlie. We where hit with 145+ mile per hour winds. It did a tremendous amount of damage to the aria. Street sighs, telephone poles, mobile homes, bill boards, etc where either blown over, blown away or blown apart. Amazingly after all this destruction this Mailbox was still standing " true it had a slight list to one side " but never the less still standing. Even more amazing it was all in one piece with absolutely no damage to it. It was one of the few mailboxes still standing and in one piece in the whole aria.
This is a one piece double walled mailbox, the post and the box are molded together. The post has a 4 by 4 in cut out section where a wood post can be inserted. It has a pull open door in front and another one in back. The back door eliminates the need for you to stand on the street to get your mail. And of course you have your flip up red flag. Plus a compartment underneath for a newspaper. There is no metal on it, so it never rusts. It does not fade or peel, so it need's no painting. It's a true maintenance free mail box.
Installing it is fairly simple, but it does take a bit of work to do it properly.
First you will need a 4 foot piece of 4 by 4 inch treated wood.
Next a post digger or narrow shovel to dig a hole for the wood post.
And a bag of cement to secure and keep the post and mailbox stable.
Now all you have to do is dig the hole. Just dig deep enough that there is enough pole above ground where the mailbox fits over the pole and the bottom is flush with the ground.

Next put the wood pole in the ground and pour the mixed cement around the pole and into your hole. The wider the hole and the more cement you use the more stable the mailbox will be. Don't fill the hole all the way leave some room on top for grass.
NOTE !!! Make sure the wood pole is standing up perfectly straight, when the cement dries you won't be able to move it. " Best to prop it up with something while the cement is drying "
After the cement is dry and the wood pole is set, place the mailbox and it's post over the wood post. When its in it's proper position take the large wood bolts and screw them in attaching the mail box post section to your cemented in wood post.
That should do it. Now just clean up grab yourself a cold one and admire your mailbox and your handiwork.
This is an extremely nice looking mailbox that has held up well for the 9 years that I have it. It looks nearly as good today as the day I bought it.

Enerlites WOS15-W Passive Infrared Single Pole Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, White Review

Enerlites WOS15-W Passive Infrared Single Pole Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to say I've installed many dimmers, switches, fan controls, and timers. This one was a little confusing at first due to the extra wire. The way to install it is to find the "white" wireset that should be bundled in your gangbox and attach the white wire to that. Then the black wire and red wire go to the two wires that previously went to your wall switch. The green goes to ground, of course.
Once past that, I fiddled a bit with the time, trying to get the light to stay on only 1 minute as I have this in a laundry room between house and garage. I mostly wanted it so a light will come on when I open the door to go inside. The settings are controlled by small rotary dials. So it's hard to be exact. But it's easy to get it good enough.
There's a knob to have it also check ambient light before turning on. If enough light is present, it won't turn on. It comes pre-set so that lighting is ignored and it always comes on.
I couldn't find one of these locally in almond. I bought this product in ivory, which is lighter than the wall plate, but not as white as the white version. Lowes has wall plates similar in color to this unit.
I have it on a circuit with one CFL bulb and it works fine with it. If you read the reviews, other brands seem to have a problem with CFL's.

Turn lights on and off with the Enerlites WOS15 WH Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor. When an individual enters the room, the sensor automatically turns the lights on. When there is no more movement in the room and a set amount of time passes, the lights will then automatically go off. If a user turns the light on/off at the switch, it will remain on/off until returned to 'auto.' Adjustable time delay and motion sensitivity make the Sensor very customizable.

The item that this company sent me, was not what I had ordered. They sent a completely different model. Which is pure Junk, and useless. I didn't bother to send it back due to the high cost of the shipping item. It just wasn't worth my time and efforts and cost to return item just to get probably a wrong model a second time. Don't waste your money on this item, or you will regreat it. I had to give it a one star, or I wouldn't be able to ost my review. Amazon.com, needs to make it possible to not add any stars, so future buyers can see when really bad revieew are placed.
