I have this outside light. Nothing special and works on a basic switch on and off.

I’ve been to various gardening / builders shops and none can help. Can you?

I’d like to leave the switch on but have a sensor that automatically turns it on and off as it gets dark / light.

id assume it’s easy enough to add a sensor but can’t find one.

id love it even more if another sensor could be added to it that made it go from dim to brighter when someone walked past.

or would it be easier to change the light to something that can do the above?

Thank you all for these.

its surprisingly light as it’s a small porch that gets the sun all day.

somethinf like this will be perfect though.
Thabk you

turns on when dark, off when light.

Also has a economy mode which you adjust to turn the light off late at night, it can also turn it back on in the morning for those dark winter mornings.

Only issue with photocells, is making sure they are positioned so that car headlamps don't shine on it as it does confuse them.

Experience: our old driveway is on a incline, car headlamps shone upwards onto the sensor, was a Nema type mounted 10ft high on the wall. Streetlight photocells are higher. Had to move it, not a major job, but something to be mindful of with wall mounted sensors. It wouldn't turn off straight away, took about 20secs. Somewhat annoying when counting the change for the Chinese delivery and the light above me in the porch turns off as the driver has left his car running LOL.
