Solus Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor with Ezee Change Plug - Auto On/Off Pack

In this review of the Solus Dusk-to-Dawn Sensor with Ezee Change Plug, the reviewer finds a practical, no-fuss solution for automating outdoor post lights. Designed for homeowners or property managers who want reliable dusk-to-dawn operation without rewiring, the sensor's biggest selling point is the quick-swap Ezee Change Plug that makes replacement simple after initial install. The unit is particularly useful for retrofitting 3' in lamp posts and supports a wide range of bulb types, making it a convenient choice when straightforward automation and easy maintenance are priorities.

Key Features

• Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn Lighting: The built-in photocell turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn so outdoor posts operate without manual switching.
• Quick-Swap Ezee Plug: The Ezee Change Plug lets you replace the sensor quickly without rewiring, reducing labor on future swaps.
• Wide Wattage Support: Handles up to 300W incandescent, 60W LED, 39W fluorescent, and 100W HID so it works with many common bulb types.
• 3' in Mount Fit: Designed to fit 3' in lamp posts with a 1.375' in diameter mounting hole for a straightforward physical fit.
• UL Listed and Warranted: UL listing adds a safety assurance and a 5 year warranty provides longer-term peace of mind.

Who It's For

The Solus sensor is well suited to homeowners, landlords, and maintenance crews who need a simple dusk-to-dawn automation for post lights and want an easy future replacement path with the Ezee Change Plug. It is also useful for small commercial properties that use traditional post lighting and need compatibility with multiple lamp types.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who expect ultra-long lifespans beyond typical consumer sensors or need sensors rated for nonstandard posts or mounting sizes, since the product is specifically built for 3' in posts with a 1.375' in hole and has documented mixed reports on long-term lifespan.
