00:00Everyone's arguing about RCW L0516 vs LD2416, so I bought a pile of both, ran them through
00:07the same tests, and honestly the winner surprised me.
00:10But before we get into the results, let me show you the 5 RCW L0516 deals that are actually
00:16worth your money right now, because the prices on these things swing wildly depending on
00:20which listing you land on.
00:22First up, the 10-pack for $5.49, and this one has almost 5,000 sales with a perfect 5
00:29-star
00:29rating.
00:30That's a lot of people agreeing on something, which rarely happens in the sensor world.
00:35You're paying about $0.55 a board here, and what you get is a module that detects motion
00:40through walls, plastic, and glass, no line of sight needed.
00:43If you're building a handful of projects at once, this is the bundle that stops you from
00:48reordering every two weeks.
00:50Next, the 5-pack at $2.37, and this is the cheapest per-board option on the whole list
00:56if you only need a few.
00:58$0.47 a board, 4.5 stars, nearly 5,000 sold.
01:03Here's why it matters, if you're new to radar sensors, you don't want to gamble on 10 at
01:07once.
01:08Grab 5, blow 1 up by feeding at 12 volts, learn the wiring, and you've lost pocket change
01:14instead of a whole bundle.
01:15The single board at $1.54 is the one I'd tell a beginner to start with.
01:21Yes, it's the worst value per unit, but you're not buying value per unit, you're buying a
01:26low-stakes experiment.
01:285 stars, over 4,500 sold, and it's the exact same board as the others, just without the
01:33bulk discount.
01:35$1.54 to find out whether radar sensing fits your project is a genuinely good trade.
01:41Then there's the 1-10-piece option at $2.89, and the flexibility is the entire pitch here.
01:48Same listing, you pick how many you want, so you don't have to commit to a pack size that
01:52doesn't match your build.
01:54Sold about 4,500 times, 5 stars.
01:58If you've got 3 projects planned and no more, this saves you from a drawer full of spares
02:02you'll never touch.
02:04Last one, the 10-pack for $3.74, and this is the best deal on the page if you're buying
02:10in volume.
02:1137 cents a board with a 5-star rating and over 4,000 sales, which beats the $5.49 10
02:17-pack
02:18by a mile for identical hardware.
02:20Same chip, same 3.3-volt output, same adjustable range and delay.
02:25If you already know you like these sensors, this is the listing you click.
02:30So which one wins, the RCWL or the LD2416?
02:35Watch the full comparison in the description, because the answer depends entirely on whether
02:40you need presence detection or just motion.
02:43Links to every sensor I showed are down there too.
