Will adding a motion sensor to a fluorescent lamp decrease the bulb life?

The motion sensor itself will not alter the bulb life, assuming it does not try to dim the fixture. The bulb life would be the same as if someone threw the switch each time the sensor turns on/off. From my experience, some motion sensors work poorly with florescent lights (CFLs or sometimes referred to as spiral bulbs). In my experience they flash, flicker, or stay dimly lit when the motion sensor has nothing in range. I do not know why. I put in an incandescent bulb and everything is fine. If you put a florescent bulb in and it works great then just leave it, it will have a long life. If it flashes or acts weird then, put in an old style incandescent or a halogen.

What is a air temp sensor?
IAT air intake sensor is a thermistor ( a resistor that varies the value of it's resistance in accordance with temperature changes ) the change in the resistance values will directly effect the voltage signal from the sensor to the PCM/ECM. As the sensor temperature increases, the resistance values will decrease. As the sensor temperature decreases the resistance values will increase.

Where is the o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 on a 1998 Nissan maxima?
There are three 02 sensors. The front left sensor is the forward most sensor, on the left bank of the engine. The next is the front right sensor on the right bank, the rear sensor is after the catalytic convertor. see below web site: http://www.courtesyparts.com/A32_O2-sensors.html
Where is PO155 02 sensor located on the 2000 tundra v8?
The P0155 refers to the Oxygen sensor on Bank 2, sensor 1. Bank 2 on your vehicle is on the passenger side of the engine. Sensor 1 is the first oxygen sensor in the exhaust pipe coming from the engine.
Can use a motion sensor with dimmable fluorescent lights?
They can, but you need to have a motion sensor/system made for them. They require a ballast to get them to start (in most cases) and don't turn on instantly, making them a poor choice for most security applications. A motion sensor is just a switch so you should have no trouble with fluorescent lights. Older tubes sometimes take longer to fire, try relamping. If the fixture is outside and cold this has a major factor on operation. For outside fluorescent fixtures in real cold climate you need a zero degree ballast. The new electronic ballast are the best as they operate in all kind of temperatures.

No.
Where is it possible to buy a motion sensor alarm?
Motion sensor alarms can be bought at sites such as Amazon or Ebay. Best buy, Office Depot, and Office Max also sell motion sensor alarms geared towards businesses.
Can part of the motion sensor be blocked so it has less range?
More of less range on a motion sensor uses a control knob called sensitivity. On the bottom of the sensor there should be two or three adjustments. One of these will be sensitivity. If your sensor it picking up objects too far away decrease the sensitivity. Do it in small increments and then test it. This will probably have to be done at night as the photocell on the unit should keep he light off in the daytime. Once you get it into the range from the sensor that you like it will remain there until the next adjustment if needed.
