I don't want it to come on during the daylight. Only want it to work at night. Will this work?

Yes. There are both adjustable light settings and duration settings so you can determine at what light level you want them to come on and for how long (up to 5 - 6 minutes) after the switch sees IR motion.

You don't want this one then. This is a motion sensing switch that triggers when an object passes within the zone of the infrared sensor. You want a photocell, which triggers when there is a sufficient change in light. They are called dusk to dawn switches too.

It is designed to only work in pitch black. Mine also do not work in the middle of the day. Sorry.

Yes, like Ron said, you can have it turn on at dusk and stay on up to 8 hours straight.

When you set the # of hours it will go on at dusk for that # of hours then goes off. I have found the dusk to dawn setting the best.

I have mine on a switch and it works well, but it will only come on when it is dark. I like that because it doesn't matter if one of the kids leaves it switched on, it will turn itself off at daylight. If you want it come on in daylight you can put tape over the light sensor or open the housing and bypass the sensor in the wiring.

I don't think so. If you want to control when these lights either turn on or off, you should think about getting the non, dusk-to-dawn version of this light.

It's motion sensored and In the daylight it stays off. I am using one outside and notice it turns on only at night when I walk by it.

I installed one on my back porch and it doesn't have a daylight sensor. It comes on day or night if it detects motion. Works good though.

I don't see why not. Mine is on all the time, regular light during the day and I switch it to blue light at night. You would have to choose which setting it wouldn't do both. Beth

No it only works in the daylight. Sometimes when a big cloud goes over it will turn off.

Funny you should ask about "always on". I bought and installed two of these. One is on all the time dawn to dusk no matter how I have it set. The works sometimes and others it is also on dawn to dusk. I do NOT recommend these lights.

Yes, the easiest way is to plug it into day/night sensor plug. That way it comes on automatically in the evening and goes off at dawn.
759282
No I don't believe it will work that way. The light will be dim, and go brighter when motion is detected. I don't believe you can cover up the motion sensor without also covering up the Day/Night sensor as well, as it's all behind the same sensor "window".

No. It needs a timer and can only be changed from day to night by hand switch.

I guess I don't know why you would want to, It takes very little energy and goes off at dawn and on at dusk! If you don't want the light they have door bells for it that don't light

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

Turns on at dusk and off at dawn. Of course you have to set up the timing. It's a great product. I should be purchaing two more of the same in a week or two
