Will this work for a dusk to dawn security yard light?

As far as I know it's not rated for outside use. There is a small cooling fan inside the light that may break if it gets wet. Great light for inside use if you don't mind hearing the built in cooling fan ( not that loud)

I bought it for lights in the backyard. I cannot answer your question, but I will tell you the warning instructions stated for the best results keep out of direct weather. I have mine under a yawn ornament, but it works great.

Yes, Kathie, it would be possible to use one, provided both lights are on the same lamp post and I would suggest having a professional wire it in. Mine works like a charm and is the best security light I have found.

I bought one several months ago. It is for my solar security light. Has been working fine since I put it in. No problem..

I have not tried the dusk-to-dawn option. Only the motion sensor, and it works great for my purpose of lighting a woodshed.

Yes. This unit attaches to any 120v light fixture. As long as your LED bulb works in the fixture, this will turn it on and off when motion is detected at night. As someone else mentioned, the bulb cannot be dimmed when connected to this motion detector.

NO, I am sorry but this is only a sensor light to activate a light bulb for dusk to dawn. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. I use it for my outdoor lights, i.e. front and back door lights.

Do you know if you are going to wire this like a normal exterior light or would you be wanting to attach a plug and plug it in a socket on the exterior of the garage like a security light? If you want this like outside your front door, it would probablybe wired and attached to the exterior of your house and connected to a switch on the interior by your front door. Then it could work with a switch. Personally, if you wanted one by your front door, I'd put up a more decorative, maybe even motion-type light. this is really more of a security light, sleak and attractive, but more security.

Yes will work. Just the led moon light at night wont as its on the same cord.

Yes, this is a dusk to dawn light. If you read the description it will tell you this. (-;

I use the dusk to dawn light in my fixture and it does come on a bit earlier and stays on a little longer, but that is fine. I used a low wattage bulb that is enough for a security light but does not have to be real bright.

It should as long as the 12vdc supply is external, IE its from a plugged in transformer/regulator, you must use this as a supply for the timer, the output from the timer goes to your led lights.

No: You can get from Amazon a sensor that will fit in the light bulb socket that will make it Dawn to Dusk.

It works perfect on my porch...for the garage it will work... only I don't think it will light it up like a spot light will.

Yes. However, I use this on an outside security light, and it works well. As suggested, for an inside sensor, I would go with a switch sensor. I use one of these in my house, and it works well also.

It's considered "dusk-to-dawn" due to that's when it would operate when set outside. It would work indoors at any time. I'm even tempted to buy more for the closets I keep forgetting to turn switches off :-)
