Title: Any way to disable the sensor on the flood light (PR511)?
Post by: whitenack on August 02, 2011, 05:21:44 PM
Is there anyway to disable the sensor for the PR511 and just turn it into a regular flood light that is only operated by a switch.  I guess..other than covering the sensor? 

I know I could always just buy a new flood light, but I would like to know if I could still use it if I decided to change my mind...which I often do.

Not really. Setting the "range" to minimum will come close. You will need to turn it ON and OFF with an X10 control (Palm Pad, Slim Line Switch, etc). Masking the sensor is probably the most effective method.

What's the price difference between a standard flood light and a PR511?
