Outdoor light with timer

xyz123

Hi

Am looking for a light which has a timer for outdoor use. It would go by front door. With timer I can automatically turn it on around sunset time. Preferably led for low power use.

Can anyone kindly recommended any? I Google but can only find ones with motion sensor.. Obviously I am not searching well enough.

Cheers

With a timer you will be forever readjusting it as, I don't know whether you've noticed this, it doesn't always get dark at the same time.

Here you go: Photocell is the term you were looking for. Insert LED bulb of your choice

It has a PIR sensor but it appears that it can be overridden.

I might get me one of those.

Edit: Having just read the reviews it appears it has to be very bright to turn it off. My front door faces north so I've gone off the idea. It's a shame the dawn to dusk sensor isn't adjustable.

You could go down the techy route and look at the LightwaveRF range. They do light switches, sockets, bulbs, switches, etc.
Obviously not cheap but if you get the internet connection, you can, for instance, have the light set to come on at dusk and go off at dawn.

Thanks for ur replies. Will look at links given. I realise that I will end up adjusting timer regularly. Thanks
