good wall powered motion sensor, bright light too

This is the only smart outdoor light bulb I could find with a built in motion sensor. I connected to a 2nd gen Smart Stuff hub and added the Smart Stuff skill to Alexa.

The lamp integrates easily and responds correctly to voice commands, and the motion sensor is responsive. However, the built-in auto power off feature CANNOT be disabled. This means that individual automation is not possible, as the light always switches off automatically after 90 seconds of inactivity. I sent a…
