J.LUMI YCA2002 Microwave 5.8 GHz Doppler Radar Motion Sensor, Microwave Motion Detector Light Switch 1200W, Ceiling Mount Motion Detector Ceiling…
$12.99
- | MODERN DESIGN | This next generation motion detector has a clean and modern silhouette with a classic UFO shape. The body housing is made with premium polycarbonate material stronger than ABS plastic and gives a beautiful smooth finish. Standard white low profile allows this sensor to blend seamlessly into your ceiling.
- | MICROWAVE RADAR | Our microwave sensor emits microwave signals to detect moving object, the same way a radar speed detector works. It is more accurate and consistently outperforms a PIR motion sensor, which tends to be less sensitive in high temperature and over sensitive in low temperature.
- | FULL DETECTION CAPABILITY | Features 360-degree detection with 30-ft diameter detection range. Radar waves are capable of penetrating glass, paper, plastic and thin walls. Compared with a PIR motion sensor, a radar motion detector is less likely to be limited by place of installation, and could detect objects before they see the sensor.
- | PHOTOCELL ENABLED | With built in photocell operated by switch for daylight (24/7 mode) or night mode (only trigger after dark), making the sensor a perfect replacement of PIR sensors.
- | SAFE TO USE | This sensor emits microwave power at 10 milliwatt, which is 1/100 of a normal cell phone (typically 1-2 watts of power). Suggested install height is 8-12 ft., compared to a cellphone which is normally used within 3 ft. of your body. You can use this radar motion detector safely and with peace of mind. Please review wiring diagram to make sure wiring is done correctly.

Didn’t last. We installed this a week after we received it. Today, three weeks later, it is no longer functioning. Total waste of money and 3 days beyond the return window.
Update: seller honored warranty and refunded purchased price quickly. Great service.

This unit performs as expected, but the designer should make changes! They send plastic anchors with screwws and the instructions suggest mouting to ceiling by pulling circuit wires through the ceiling. Any device except low voltage ones should be mouted to an outlet or fixture box! This company (Chinese) must use metric measurements as none of their devices I have used do not properly fit the standard mounting holes of our electrical boxes or plaster rings

I really wanted to like this sensor. It was nice that it would detect a door opening and the lights would be on when you entered, unlike a PIR sensor that needs to see a body before it triggers. However there are multiple show stopper issues that caused me to return these.
Hard to Adjust and Get Stuck ON:
The main issue is that they are buggy and impossible to get adjusted correctly. After two days of trying to tune them I can not stop them from getting stuck on. They are set to the lowest time setting (8sec) but they regularly get stuck on and I find the lights on hours later. The only way to get them to reset is turning the dials to min setting and then adjusting again. I have tried so many adjustments of the setting and they will seem to work when I’m in the space and I will hear the relays flipping as I move around the space. But then I will leave the detached garage and look out minutes or hours later and the light will still be on.
Major 5GHz WiFi Interference:
My detached garage has a Google Nest mesh access point in it which is connected via WiFi to the main house. This point has worked flawlessly for a year and then I put these sensors in and the point will drop off the network in a few minutes of powering them on. If I can keep it up long enough to test it it goes from “Great” to “Weak” signal strength when these sensors are powered on. Nest WiFi and most other mesh WiFi systems use 5GHz band for the mesh backhaul connection. Seems like this sensor is interfering with that spectrum.
Install Issues, Clearly Not Designed for US Market.
As others have pointed out this has some push button spring terminals on it. There is no way these meet US electrical code and there is no UL listing on the product. Beyond that they are too small and really hard to use. You can just barely fit 14AWG stranded wire into them (this is the minimum you can use in the US and even then only for limited lighting installations). These connectors would look at home on a thermostat of other low voltage component, not on a line voltage device. Also the mounting is not for US standard 4″ box, you will need to make an adapter plate of some sort.

I needed a sensor in my garage that would turn on the lights when a person entered from the house and when a car entered from the outside and keep the lights on for more than 5 minutes. I used a very nice wall mounted Infrared device (also from Amazon) thinking this would detect a warm car but it didn’t. It did a great job of picking up a person entering or after exiting the car but you had to get out before it would turn the lights on. This J.Lumi device solved the problem. It uses radar to detect movement and not heat. The best of both worlds. The only downfall is that it’s a ceiling mounted sensor so it has no on/off override like the PIR sensor had, but as long as it works, I don’t care. The instructions are rather vague but it wasn’t hard getting it to work. I just ordered a spare for when the one I have wears out. If you want to detect motion, any kind of motion, hot or cold, this device works really well. You do need a neutral to hook it up.

I was really thinking this would replace my existing motion detector in my walk-in closet and that I would get some improved performance based on the difference in technology; however, there were several things I did not like about this.
1. It didn’t come with instructions. I had to pull whatever install information I used from the photos attached to the Amazon listing for this product.
2. This does not fit a standard round opening. It is a little smaller so I will have to fabricate an adapter using a blank ceiling fixture cover.
3. Most wiring for houses is solid copper. The solid copper is not flexible enough to make it easy to run through the hole for the wires and make the bends necessary to attach to the push down connector. So basically you need to come up with stranded wire of the proper gauge to wire this since there isn’t any provided with the motion detector.
4. The push down connectors where hard to use and it took several attempts at trying to get the wires into the connector before I got good connections that didn’t easily pull out. It would have been better to have screw down connectors instead of these push down connectors … or to have totally skipped the connector entirely and soldered three wires of the proper gauge to the circuit board like most of the other motion detectors do.
5. The adjustability doesn’t quite have the range I would like. I currently have the ON Duration and Sensitivity set to the lowest settings and the light stays on longer than I would like and has been triggered on by activity several feet outside of the open closet door. The previous detector I had better adjustments that accommodated my desires.
Would I buy again knowing what I know now? Probably not even though the price is very good. That is the main reason I am not returning it is the low cost makes it to where it would not be worth my time now to remove it and return it. It is a little frustrating because these are pretty much all simple things to fix, but seems to be more systemic of products made in China.

Installed this in my Garage and it works great. No complaints on operation. No electrical compliance marks on the packaging anywhere that I can see which is the only reason I Did not give 5 stars. It’s operation is superior to any of my motion sensing lights.
