Indoor sensor light

Hi - apologies if this is a really silly question but it's one of those questions that's really hard to google!
We've had a sensor light fitted in our downstairs toilet.  The "LUX" setting is set to max but the light doesn't come on until dusk.  As it's not in a very well lit position within the house, we'd like it to come on regardless of light conditions.

Is there such a thing as a sensor light that doesn't depend on light conditions and it just comes on when motion is detected?  If so, is there a name/phrase I can use to look it up on the web?

Thanks

    Can you not just turn down the lux setting to minimum?

    The lux setting is a half-moon shape on one end and a sun on the other.  The manual says keep turning clockwise towards the sun until the light comes on but it doesn't come on until dusk.

    lol funny - the manual was correct but it seems that turning it all the way counter-clockwise and then all the way clockwise has now done the job!!
    Thanks!
