I'm looking for three motion sensor lights for my new shop. Two will be installed at the man doors and the third is for the overhead door and driveway to the building.

Any recommendations?

Spend the extra money and get RAB brand sensor. I found the sensor from the box stores to be useless in the summer you could flap your arms in front of them and the lights would not come on the next night the lights would go on for no reason.

The one in the link comes with an LED light. I bought just the sensor and it has 5 LEDs connected to it for for 3 years now.

I bought these and installed last summer. Work great in all conditions so far. Mine is mounted 20' above 2nd story door. I liked how this one has three heads so I can spread the light pattern better than a single or double head.

Currently $36.99 - 30% (~$25.89) at Amazon. For that price you can buy all three that you need for way less than the price of one of the RAB ones noted above. Can't post links yet so you'll need to copy and paste into a browser

I have installed 3 of these and think they are great.

They have a few different sizes/configurations available. They are very bright and flood a large area. I have one at the man door at my shop, and one on the side of the house beside the driveway.

Shop is about 120 feet behind the house, and with the motion control and large flood area I can easily walk from the house to the shop at night without ever touching a light switch. Very handy.

I got tired of the cheap motion sensors on the outside garage lights going out and bought an Optex LX402 outdoor low voltage motion sensor. Then used a time delay relay in the attic to turn on the fixtures. It's been working great for years. Plan to do the same on the detached garage when the cheap motion sensors on the fixtures fail which will probably be a few years but I see the price now is about $90.
