Put the yard floodlights on a light sensor #6

There are a few time switches in the room behind the kitchen.

I think a light sensor would be best for this. The floods are pretty low-power, so I'm happy leaving them on all night for security. A light sensor would be the best option from an energy use PoV.

One of these'll probably do.

If you order it I'll fit it :hammer:

Ordered, I'll drop it in on Tuesday. We may need some cable/junction boxes/glands/etc though, as it'll probably require a bit of external re-wiring.

Don't forget there's 2 light rings, the one at the back door is currently on a switch elsewhere

There is a light sensor on the shelf in the storage room. It needs some 22mm (I believe) conduit to wire it up, so we'll need to get some of that.
