...because home doesn't happen overnight.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*

Congrats to Amber, Heidi, Kate L., Hanna and Kelsey! I’ll be in touch with you shortly.

It’s been a little over a month since we installed the Lutron occupancy sensor in the boys’ bedroom and we’re really happy with how it’s working. No more yelling at the kids to turn off their bedroom light!

lutron 5

The light automatically shuts off after 5 minutes of no activity in the room. We have the sensor set in the auto on / manual off mode. This allows us to turn the light on manually {we don’t want the light automatically coming on when we check on the boys at night} and we also have the option to turn the light off manually before the sensor shuts it off automatically. Even though the sensor switch is behind a lamp, we don’t have any problems with it recognizing activity in the room.

The only con that I can think of in regards to the sensor is the light automatically shuts off when the kids are in the room being still. This is rare. In fact, let’s call it a miracle because that means my kids are being still for five. whole. minutes. They are usually reading books when this happens. When it does happen they know to just move around a little and the light will come back on automatically. I didn’t realize this feature was built in until we experienced it.

lutron 1

After living with the occupancy sensor for a while, we’ve thought of two more spaces in our home that would benefit from a sensor switch: the boys’ closet and our mudroom.

If we come home in the evening from being out, I always notice the boys’ closet light is on and I have no idea how long it’s been that way. I guess the sensor is spoiling them and they’ve completely forgotten how to turn off their closet light?!

Until our front door is fixed {hopefully very soon – HH worked on it all weekend!}, we will use the french doors in the everything room to enter and exit the house. Ahem, that’s what we’ve been doing for the past year and a half. And even after the front door is functional, I still see us entering / exiting through the mudroom on a regular basis. As is, at nighttime we have to open one of the french doors, step into the mudroom, close the door, then carefully walk in the dark over to the laundry nook to turn on a recessed light before we can see anything. It’s a pain. In this instance, we would use the sensor to automatically turn the light on when it sensed movement in the room and we could also set it to automatically shut the light off after a period of inactivity. It would make a world of difference.

A few other details about the sensor:

*It’s available for standard on / off switches but a separate sensor is compatible with dimmer switches.

*It can be used with all bulb types.

*Regardless of settings, there’s always the option to turn the light off / on manually.

*The sensor switch can sense daylight so that it only turns lights on when needed.

Can you think of a place in your home where a sensor switch would make life a little easier? If so, you should see details below on how to win one along with a matching wallplate!

SWITCH ME! in my dining room- I always notice that light is being left on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely my closet. Thanks.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! I need one in the playroom!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! The dining room. It is a through way and is always on it seems.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! Our basement laundry area, always see the light glowing under the basement door as I turn all the lights off at night.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! All the rooms my kids use in my entire house!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I have an eight year old son who enjoys 3am trips to the loo and then leaves the bathroom light ON as he retreats back to bed. Said light ends up waking ME because it shines right down the hall into the very spot where I lay my sweet head.

So, bathroom light it would be!

30.September.2013

Switch me! It’s a close call between the basement and the dining room. Dining room will probably win out.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Our basement stairway is where we enter from the garage and the switch that controls 2 lights is constantly being left on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I need this in my daughter’s room! Bad!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!!!! The master closet!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! In the bathroom, it’s the light that gets left on the most!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I could definitely use one of these in my mudroom too!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely our kitchen, we always walk out and leave that light on for hours!

30.September.2013

Switch Me!
I would put the switch in the hallway closet. That would be so helpful!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d definitely put one in my kids room and my master closet!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! Laundry room…can not for the life of me remember to turn that light off.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
I would put mine in my son’s room, or in my basement where my brother lives. My brother is really bad about leaving the light on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d definitely put one in my kids room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

In the bathroom. We’ve been leaving the lights on for our three year old now that she is potty trained and still can’t reach the light switch. Despite having a window screen with no discernable holes, somehow billions of crafty moths and gnats found their way inside over the course of the summer. I especially liked when they all flew out and hit me in the face every time I started up the shower. Or when I squished a half dead one underfoot. Or had to shake out my towel vigorously to avoid rubbing a desperately clinging insect all over my wet body. A motion sensor would make the room less of a beacon.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Our basement – we always forget to turn it off, and the switch is hard to see in the dark.

30.September.2013

Switch me! Kitchen, my husband always leaves the light on

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
I would put one in the kitchen – seems I’m always getting out of bed AFTER I’ve shut down for the night because someone didn’t shut down the lights in there!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!

I would put one in the downstairs hall…and my boys upstairs bedroom

30.September.2013

Switch me! Probably the hallway

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! I would put it in our master closet. we always forget to turn off the light!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Oh, my front hallway could really use one of these! Hmmm.. Laundry room, too.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I could definitely use this in my daughter’s room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

This is brilliant! I am so excited to finally have a solution to our laundry room, which is also where we enter our home through the garage. No more fumbling around in the dark!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I would for sure put it in the laundry room! I usually have my hands full going in and out and sometimes fine I have left the light on for hours!

Side note… DH’s former office had these and the five minutes of being still would happen frequently since he and his office mates were desk jockeys. They’d have to pull away from their work and start waving their arms or stand up to turn them back on several times a day :)

30.September.2013

Switch me! Bathroom or laundry room for me!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would use it for bedrooms too

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! The playroom or the laundry/mud room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!!!!!

I’ll put one in our guest room/my dressing room. My husband is constantly going around behind me and shutting off the light! I’m so horrible at remembering to turn it off! And I can still hear my father scolding me for doing this as a child too!

30.September.2013

Switch me! Kids rooms for sure! Never fails I get home from work and realize we had lights on all day. >:-(

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put one in our hallway. I’m constantly turning that light off!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I think this would be beneficial in every room! We’re horrible at remembering to turn lights off when we leave a room!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d love one for my mudroom and maybe the downstairs hallway.

30.September.2013

Switch me!
This would be awesome in my kids room.

30.September.2013

Switch Me!! Def. the kids rooms and their closets.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! My son can never remember to turn off his light.

30.September.2013

Switch me! Definetely my son’s room!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

These are perfect for basements, closets, kids rooms…the list is nearly endless!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! My big boys room needs this so much!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely the powder room. My 3 year old needs this!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! the laundry room needs it!

30.September.2013

Switch me! The twins’ room, most definitely!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! We need this horribly in the living room and closet. I am always finding lights on in there.

30.September.2013

Switch me! Kids bathroom definitely.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be great in our laundry room when my walking in with the basket!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I agree- need for laundry room and for walk-in closet.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I initially thought closets, but kitchen is an excellent idea. We don’t have an open concept house, so sometimes the kitchen gets forgotten after dinner.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I would put it in our entry way or the kids’ room. :)

30.September.2013

Switch me!

My basement! Our craft room and playroom are down there. We are always leaving the lights on!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

We could definitely use a smart light like that in our entryway! Our fixer-upper of a house still has old wiring in that room that needs to be updated, and it means right now we are living with no light at all when we are coming and going out of the door at night. Big pain!

30.September.2013

Switch Me!

Our kitchen – we always end up leaving the light on when we’re in other areas of the house.

30.September.2013

Switch me!

I would probably put it in my daughter’s closet! She has a bad habit of leaving the light on.

30.September.2013

Switch me! I would love this in my entry way. The only light switch for it is across the way from the front door. Explain to me how that made sense when the house was built.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I grew up in a lights-out policing family but still leave lights on in my home office All. The. Time (and hear about it from Himself). A Lutron sensor would be helpful for adult me. :)

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I would definitely put the switch in my laundry room – so often I’m going in or out with baskets of laundry, it would be nice not to have to worry about it!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

My husband is always complaining about me not turning off lights. He would probably have a hard time deciding where would be the best place to put it! :)

30.September.2013

Switch me! My daughter’s room would be the first to get the switch.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

We live in a pretty tiny condo and for some reason it always feels like every single light in the house is always on! Usually it’s my fault, but I think this would be the nicest to have in the bathroom since the light switch itself is a few feet in and usually confusing for guests.

30.September.2013

Switch Me

I rarely remember to check the back bedroom to see if the lights are off–and my son always leaves them on…What a great idea.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

We have a walk-in pantry and the door gets closed without the light turned off quite a lot. It’s frustrating and one time we left it on for an entire weekend when we were out of town because of that!

30.September.2013

switch me! definitely the bathrooms and the utility/laundry room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would use it in the entry doorway too – entrance is directly into the living room and if I have my hands full that would be so helpful!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put it in my laundry/utility room off the kitchen. I find I’m always coming out of there with an armful of laundry or tools and no free hand to turn the light off, hence it gets left on all the time.

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” I so need this in our mudroom. That light is never shut off.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be great in our basement, where all the lights are on one switch and often are left on for hours without anyone noticing. Also would be nice in our entryway, since the light switch there is in a slightly awkward spot.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d love this for the laundry room and basement family room.

30.September.2013

switch me – I don’t have kids to blame for leaving the lights on, and its probably not ok to blame the dog either… So maybe the ghouls in the garage are leaving that light on all the time? (or you know, me) I’d put this in the garage instantly, its such a problem around here

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be great for our garage/laundry room. The switch is behind the door so you always have to find it in the dark :( Love your blog!

30.September.2013

switch me! I would use this in a bedroom!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Kids room fo’ sure!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Bedroom and TV room would be amaaaaze

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
Our kid’s rooms for sure!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put it in the garage. The kids go in there to grab something all the time and never remember to shut the light off when they’re done.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

I have been considering one of these for about 6 months, I really want to try in in our laundry room first and then if I love it I would do the master closet as well.

Love your blog, I check it everyday to see if there is an update.

Thanks,

Jeff

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put it in the basement near the washer & dryer. It’d be great not to worry about turning off the light when carting my multiple loads of clean laundry upstairs to fold and put away.

30.September.2013

Switch me
I think the best bet would be my kids room but the basement light seems to always be left on as well.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This switch would probably go in the kids’ bathroom or one of the closets.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d probably put one in our kitchen. it’s the farthest room for our bedroom and i HATE noticing the lights on right after i climb in bed.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would probably put this in the garage. Whenever I leave my garage I forget to turn off the light so after backing out I have to jump out of the car, run inside the garage, push my garage button and run out into my car without letting the garage door smack me or sense my presence or it will stop and I will have to do it all over again. (I really should think about buying an extra garage door remote).

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!”
I need this in my kids room desperately.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put it in my husband’s man cave, he can’t seem to understand that a room needs to be dark when he closes it up.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! I could use one in the kitchen, as that light always gets left on for the cats to see their food. Would be much better on the wallet, and give a sense of ‘someone’s home’ when I’m away in the evening, for the light to come on and off only when they are in there looking for dinner #2, 3, 4 ….

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Let there be light in the mudroom as I’m carrying my groceries in from the garage…

30.September.2013

Switch Me! We could use this in many rooms but mostly the laundry or my daughter’s room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put this in my studio! The light switch is in the worst place and I am constantly tripping in the dark!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!!!!!! OMG I was just thinking this morning as I went back up stairs to find my son had left his bedroom and closet light on that I needed to get one of these! Crossing my fingers and hope I win!!

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” The garage would be perfect!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Kids’ closet for sure!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! We’d put the sensor in our office, which we accidentally leave the light on ALL THE TIME!

30.September.2013

We need this!! SWITCH ME!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’m always leaving the lights on in the basement :\

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Just inside the back door. How lovely (and safe!) to have the light come on when entering with my hands full of kids and bags. This will be especially nice now that the days are getting shorter.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put on in my 8 yr olds room. She is constantly leaving her light on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely the kids’ room!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I need one in my kid’s bedrooms. We have 3 boys that leave lights on all the time!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I could put them in every room if I could, but probably in the bathroom or bedroom.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put it in our kitchen/dining room. When walking in from the living room, you have to walk through the totally dark room in order to reach the light switch. Having this sensor would save us all from walking into things!

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” I’d put one in our kitchen.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

i’d love one for our sons room.

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” hallway light

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Every room (I’m bad at turning off lights when I leave a room)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! For us it would be the laundry room or the stairways going to the 2nd floor

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” Definitely in the little guys room but maybe in the kitchen because the outlets are in really odd place.

Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! Yes, the living room! Our light switch is in the far corner for some weird reason!

30.September.2013

Switch Me!
Either of the kids’ rooms would be perfect for this. My daughter is the worst to turn her light out.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!
This would be perfect for the dining room that we have to walk through to reach the switch!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! My kitchen definitely.

30.September.2013

Switch me! I’d put it in our bathroom so my 2yr old can go by herself without screaming ‘it’s too dark in here!!’

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! Our bedroom!!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d love to put them in our master closets and the basement. The lights never get turned off in both those areas.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! definitely in the kids rooms

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!! This would be great in our half bath.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! In the office or in the utility room- my fiance always – ALWAYS – leaves the light on in both these places and it drives me bonkers.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! After I read your post, I installed one in the kids bedroom -we LOVE IT! I’d love to have another in the playroom!

30.September.2013

switch me! In the mudroom and greatroom

30.September.2013

Switch me! I would love to put this in our back entrance/mudroom/laundry room. We always forget to turn the light off in there!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!! I would put one in my Mud Room/Laundry Room – it’s where we enter and exit!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME
I already bought one for my child’s bedroom because of your blog post, so I will use this one in her bathroom.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

I’d love this in the kitchen because I’m always forgetting to turn it off when I head upstairs for the night.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would use it in the laundry room! My hands are always too full to get the switch on the way out!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d install this in our dining room, which is near our garage entry. We’re in the same boat you are… walk precariously in the dark until you find the light switch across the room.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! I’d put it in the bathroom and entryway

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Our closet because my husband hasn’t yet figured out how to turn it off when he leaves for work in the morning. :-P

30.September.2013

Switch me! Would love this light in my kids’ room!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! The basement playroom NEEDS a sensor light! The kids are always afraid to go down there by themselves because of the dark. Problem solved!

30.September.2013

Switch me! i’d use it upstairs near my closet, since i’m always leaving the light on!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME SWITCH ME! (doubly nice :) – it’s Monday after all)
I would use this in the downstairs closet and the laundry room!
thank you so much for the giveaway

30.September.2013

Switch me! Our bathroom could use this; it always seems to be left on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put the sensor switch in the laundry room because it’s kind of dark and the light switch is across the room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Either in our entry (but it’s a 3-way switch) or our master bedroom closet (which doesn’t actually have any lights YET!)

30.September.2013

Switch me! But please don’t make me commit to where I’d put them… at least not yet! ;)

30.September.2013

Switch Me! The third floor staircase. We do not use these stairs/floor often, thus we tend to forget to turn off the light and sometimes discovered it on days! later.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Probably going in my boys room or the bathroom!

30.September.2013

Switch me!!!! Our homeschool room (formal dining) light switch is across the room from the main doorway. I’d love to use one in there.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
I’d put it in the nursery … I’m always walking in and out with hands full of baby, diapers, a laundry basket! Hands-free and energy-saving, yes please.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’m the guilty one in our house; I can’t seem to count the number of times I’ve come home to a dark house and a blazing closet light.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put one in my sons room.

30.September.2013

Switch Me!

I need this in my kitchen. I enter from the back door and have to walk to the opposite wall in the dark to turn on the light.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
I’d put one in my living room because my toddler LOVES playing with the light switches and they are always left on.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
My basement laundry room needs this.

30.September.2013

Switch me! I’d like to have this in my garage or kids’ rooms.

30.September.2013

Switch me! Is it bad I need it for the master bedroom???

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!!
I have wanted to install these in the kids’ rooms since your original post on this! I can’t tell you how many times I have said since then, “we need to get those sensor switches!”

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

I’d put this in my front doorway because I hate walking into a dark house.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I could definitely use one of these in my sons room too!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’ll start with the dining room…

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME (please?)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

I would probably put it in our basement. The light accidentally gets left on down there all the time.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Probably put in my son’s room but maybe in the den

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

oh my goodness, every room in my house needs this. four kids, two stories and a finished basement… i’d say the basement first and then the kids’ bedrooms… and maybe my closet. (it’s not always the kids who are guilty!)

30.September.2013

Switch me. I would love this for my girls’ room. They. Never. Turn. The. Light. Off.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would love to have a motion sensor switch in my 5 year old’s room or/and bathroom.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put it in my garage or my basement.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Hhhmmm….where would I put that Lutron sensor? Probably in my entryway. Or maybe my guest bath since my grandchildren can’t turn off a light either. Which really befuddles me. I mean they know to turn it on. How come they don’t know to turn it off?

30.September.2013

Switch me! I think I would put it on the laundry room. The switch is across the room from where I enter and I always seem to have my arms full which makes navigating the dark room over to the switch even more difficult. But really, just about every room in our house would benefit!

30.September.2013

I don’t need to enter the giveaway, but I wanted to chime in about how awesome it is having a motion sensing light in our hallway. I hate walking through dark hallways, and who turns on the switch for the few seconds that you’re walking through? Having a sensor brings light to the darkest part of the house and saves electricity with absolutely zero effort when walking through. All our houseguests comment on how cool it is.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

Hands down, basement spaces! I hate going downstairs after everyone is tucked into bed to turn lights off that have been left on.

On a side note, growing up, my dad would remove light bulbs from spaces that us kids would habitually leave the lights on to teach us a lesson. Not sure if it worked…….

30.September.2013

Switch me! Definitely the basement.

30.September.2013

Switch me! We’d use this in our son’s room and perhaps our mudroom as well.

30.September.2013

Switch me! Probably use in the laundry room. I go/out in that room with arms full and that would be one less thing to worry with!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would definitely use it in my room. I’m always leaving it on and having to go back up and turn it off. I can relate to your boys :)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! I would use it in MY everything room (dining, arts & crafts, laundry, door to backyard room)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
Need these in the closets and bathrooms. Living in a rowhome with neighbors on either side, we tend to leave the lights on just to bring in some light, but we leave them on more than we need and waste energy!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put it in my daughter’s room.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Love this! I’d put on in my laundry room. We walk through it coming into the house from the garage and a sensor would be great for groceries!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! I’d put it in the kitchen!

30.September.2013

Switch me! Definitely need this for the garage!

switch me! kitchen

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’m excited to give this a try.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Thanks for the giveaway.

30.September.2013

Switch me!

We could really use it for the entry way leading up stairs so we don’t have to fumble our way to bed in the dark winter months :)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would use it for the basement. It would be oh so handy!

30.September.2013

Switch me!!! I could use this for my living room. I’m building a new house and its the room that I walk into.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! Front hallway for sure.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME ! The basement den would be the perfect place for the switch. They always forget to turn the light out.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put it in our back entry with an unhandy switch placement.

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” I would love one of these in my kitchen!

30.September.2013

Switch me , I could use them for my kids room!

30.September.2013

Switch me…three kids bedrooms, mud room, the list goes on….

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put it in my family room!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be great in our living room. The light switch is in the worst spot, the opposite corner from the front door. No more banging shins on the coffee table to turn on the light!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d definitely put a sensor in my teenager’s bedroom, since he can never seem to remember to turn his light off.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be perfect in my daughters room and/or the upstairs hallway. My daughter(11!) leaves her light on all the time, overnight too! Our upstairs hallway only has one switch in the middle of the wall not close to any of the rooms?!?

30.September.2013

Switch me! Would love this for our basement/playroom. Tx!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! It will go in the kids room.

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!”

The bathroom. Currently potty training our youngest and she can’t reach the switch. Our oldest is so well trained that he turns off the light at all times, making us having to run and turn on the bathroom light.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put mine in my office I’m in and out of there in a hurry sometimes I miss the light.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! My daughter’s room

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!

I would put it in the very narrow stairwell connecting my townhome’s first and second floors. Those steps are so scary at night! Not to mention hard to find a switch with hands full!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! The basement!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! The kitchen/dining room. Its the most used room in our house, and we’re always walking away and leaving the light on, or stumbling in in the dark and fumbling for the light switch.

30.September.2013

Switch me! I’d put it in the laundry room for sure!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
my teenage daughter leaves for school in the early morning, with every possible light ON.
this is also the kid who leaves hair elastics, laundry, shoes, etc. on the floor in a path so i can trace the source.
i call gretel, with equal parts affection & irritation.

30.September.2013

Switch me!!!!

I would install this in our half bath on the main floor. It’s where the kids get ready, brush their teeth and never turn off the light! Now, if they could come up with a way o get the kids o hang up the hand towel we’d be all set!!!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I need this in my hubby’s “man cave”

30.September.2013

Switch me! The kids playroom in the basement!

30.September.2013

Switch Me! Perfect for my artist studio.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I want to put these in practically every room in our house (with three boys, lights are getting left on all the time!). But I will start with the kids’ rooms first.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! Definitely one of the kid’s bedrooms!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d love to have two for sure — one inside the garage entry and one inside our laundry room, both of which we often enter with our arms full and which are DARK, especially at night.

30.September.2013

Switch me! I need one for my mudroom!

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!
Probably our kitchen actually.

30.September.2013

Switch Me! This would be perfect for our kitchen.

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely in my boys room too!!

30.September.2013

“SWITCH ME!” – I would put it on our staircase, I’m constantly walking down by feel in the middle of the night and it’s the one light which is constantly left on by everyone

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME!! The kids bath :)

30.September.2013

SWITCH ME! I’m with you…entryway for sure, since my hands are always full when I’m coming in the door. One in the master closet would be awesome too!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME, PLEASE! I need one in EVERY ROOM my husband uses cause he never, ever remembers to shut any & every light (including his closet). Do they make it for TV’s too??? If so, I need a half dozen of those too!
,

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Perfect for the closet!

01.October.2013

Switch me! Definitely in the boys rooms!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME. SWITCH ME. SWITCH ME.

I don’t know which room needs it more: laundry room, playroom, or garage……hmmmm

01.October.2013

Oh, Please! switch me!!! This is on the shopping list for our laundry room (weird switch half way into the room) so I would LOVE to win one!

SWITCH ME!! This baby would definitely go in my daughters room. She never eve remembers to turn off her light. Must a tween thing. Thanks for another a awesome giveaway Dana

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!

I would def put it on the staircase! Our son is always leaving the light on!!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!
I would put it either in my daughter’s bedroom since she constantly leaves her light on, or in the upstairs hallway since that light is always being left on by one of the kids.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!
I could use one in my daughter’s room and our laundry room since that is where we enter the house from the garage and the light switch is not close to the door. Thanks Dana!

01.October.2013

Switch Me! I’d probably do the kid’s room upstairs since she’s notorious for getting distracted and leaving the light on after leaving the room.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME ! Believe it or not, my daughter is very good about turning off lights… My husband, not so much. I’d put it in the master bathroom because he ALWAYS leaves that light on !

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely the kitchen. No one ever remembers to turn those lights off.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! we could use this in our stairwell

01.October.2013

Switch Me!!

We actually just installed one of these this weekend. We were kind of leary if it would be good in our kitchen and dining room. But so far I can’t believe how well it has worked! Dimmer and motion sensor, and they also allow double control! Beautiful, my husband says it will never get old. And for him to be amazed.. it must be good.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!! I love this. We have remote controlled dimers in certain room and this is a great idea for the closets.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!! I would love this in my walk-in closet! Such an awesome invention!

01.October.2013

Switch me! I would put one in our kitchen. We tend to walk out leaving the lights on.

01.October.2013

Switch me! We are ALWAYS trying to reduce our energy usage. I think we’d have one in the kitchen, for sure. Can’t tell you how many times we leave on the light after making dinner…

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I would love this in my closet – we’re constantly forgetting to turn off the light in there!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I would use it in our upstairs hall. It’s always being left on!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!! Definitely need one of these for my toddler’s room!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I need one of these in our down stairs powder room. It never fails, the light is always left on. This would help so much.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d place one at the top of the stairs. Never fails that “someone” flipped the switch at the other end of the staircase which means I’m usually navigating the steps in the dark!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I have 3 kids that are very smart and yet seem incapable of turning off lights when they leave a room.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Probably my boys room, but it would be very useful in our closet too!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely my home office. I cannot count the number of times a day I turn that light off!!! Argh!

01.October.2013

Switch me! Our laundry room or master closet would be the perfect place!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Everywhere except the bedroom. My husband is a sleepwalker and I don’t want to know how often he takes a lap around the room at night.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

I need one in the bathroom, like right now… hahaha
The kids always forgot to turn off the lights when they come out of the bathroom.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME!! I would put mine in the kitchen – somebody is always leaving it on!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! This would be perfect for our walk-in closet!!

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I always forget to turn off the light in our little coat closet turned cleaning/tool/pet supplies closet. My husband is always yelling at me for forgetting.

01.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely the toy room! Thanks:)

01.October.2013

switch me! i’d use one in the master bedroom closet. the husband always leaves it on!!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely need one in the kids room…and the basement. My daughter has been begging for “something that will turn the lights on for me” in the basement for over 6 months!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!!
The kitchen – DH leaves for work about 2 hours before I do, and exits through the kitchen. Every morning the light is on when I come down!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME!
The stairwell. When I go to work in the wee hours I either almost fall down the stairs or turning on the hall light wakes my husband.

02.October.2013

Oh please, SWITCH ME! When I read what you said about not having to tell the kids to turn off their bedroom light….well I wondered what that would be like. Anything to help me be less of a household drill sergeant would make me happy!

02.October.2013

Switch Me!!!!!
We could definitely use this switch in our playroom. There are a bunch of other places, but this one takes the cake.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

The best place for this in our house is probably the bathroom. Thanks!

02.October.2013

Switch me! I would put one in the laundry/mudroom. We go through there frequently as it is the path to the garage and always leave the light on.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME!!!!! Please!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! My son’s bedroom and bathroom lights always make us 5 minutes late going out the door because I send him upstairs to turn them off, and he fights me, every. single. time! Although, the laundry room would be MUCH nicer for me, as I always have my hands full going in AND out of there.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put the sensor right by our front door so that it would turn on when we get home after dark.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely in a child’s room…so tired of running down the hall on our way out the door to turn off all the lights.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Like you, I would put it in my boys room, but their closet comes in a close second.

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Would love one for my teenage daughter’s room. She is always leaving for “just a second” & them leaves the light on for hours. Thanks, Dana!

02.October.2013

“SWITCH ME!” I would put one in our front hall. The light always seems to be on there even when no one is around.

02.October.2013

“SWITCH ME!” I would love one for my front room/entry. Thanks!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I would put one…everywhere. But, I guess I would start with the stair lights, those get left on all. the. time. and it seems like a good place to test this fancy schmancy thing out!

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Thanks for the chance to enter, I would put this into our living room

02.October.2013

SWITCH ME!! I’d put it the basement of my new starter home I just purchased!

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Basically every room in the house. We’re terrible about turning off the lights.

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely in my son’s bathroom!

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! My boys always leave the basement lights on.

03.October.2013

Switch Me! I’d love to have one for my son’s room.

03.October.2013

Switch me! My bedroom! I go in and out of it all the time throughout the day and sometimes forget the turn off the light..

03.October.2013

Switch me! This would be great to install in our rec room!

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! Definitely in my son’s room. He is almost six and never remembers to turn off the lights.

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! This switch would be perfect in my laundry room – I keep forgetting to turn the light off…and don’t notice until hours later!

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I’d put it in my basement, as my boys are always leaving those lights on.

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

I have a couple of these already…one in my closet and one in my garage and I LOVE them! I’d love to put one in my powder room and laundry.

03.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

I could use this for my daughters room….. Or the laundry room. It’s a toss up

04.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

In our mudroom because scrambling for keys while carrying stuff and looking for a light switch leads to plenty of tripping!

04.October.2013

SWITCH ME! I have been wanting one of these for my husband’s closet. I’ve told him I want this exact product as *my* Christmas present! :-)

04.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

I can think of many rooms where this would be helpful. Oddly enough I would probably start in the garage. My husband leaves the light on every night when he gets the dog food.

04.October.2013

SWITCH ME! My little one can’t reach the light switch yet, so this would be great for her room.

04.October.2013

Switch me! We’re getting ready to move to a new house with a mud room, so I’m thinking that’s a great place to start!

05.October.2013

SWITCH ME!

My entryway could use this!

05.October.2013

Switch me! Probably the powder room.

06.October.2013

SWITCH ME! In one of ny 2 kids rooms in our NEW house!! We hopefully will have a signed contract tomorrow and will need everything to furnish this house. (We currently live in an apt) and these would be great!!!!
