Great bulb! I purchased this bulb three years ago for my outdoor porch light. It works wonderfully–it comes on in the evening and goes off in the morning, however on cloudy days it tends to stay on due to the reduced sunlight, and overhang of our porch. Despite all these extra hours of use, this single bulb lasted 3 years without flicker and good light output (not dim). I tried to find it in the big box store where last purchased and they no longer carry it, and didn’t know what I was talking about; they could only offer the sensor sockets which all the revues state work poorly with dim light output and flickering. So came home, retrieved it from the recycle bag, and plugged in the actual info from the bulb, and here it is! Will buy an extra this time.

Works much better than separate socket style ones I have tried more than one type of “screw in” socket type photo eye adaptors for CFL bulbs. This bulb with built in photo eye is the only one that actually works. They used to sell it at Home Depot, but don’t any more ( I asked). I had purchased one last year for my back porch that works perfectly. This is one of the only places I could find the product. I also like it because the bulb doesn’t hang way down out of the fixture like it does when you use the socket style. I will buy more of these for my other outside lights. It is affected slightly by the location (where the morning sun is) but still had cut off by about 9:30. When you first put it in, if light outside, it takes about 1/2 hr to go off. After that first time, it works normally. I am surprised that is isn’t easier to find, a great product. Perfect for going away on vacation.
