Is there day light sensor to prevent turn on at day time?

The best way to keep the light from coming during daylight hours is to install an electric timer in line before the sensor. You can set the timer for the hours that you want the light to operate as the season change you can reset the timer accordingly.

Bruce, If I were wiring it up an did not want it to come on during the day you could do a couple things. 1. Switch to a standard motion sensor used on fixtures such as those over residential garage doors they are motion only when dark and run less than $20. 2. If you do need this style of motion sensor for your application put a photo cell in series before the sensor and fixture so the motion sensor and fixture only get power to operate when dark that fix could be done for about $15. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

No there is no photocell built in, this sensor is typically used for florescent fixtures in warehouses

Yes the day light sensor is disabled by default, just motion sensor is enabled. The daylight is an additional setting you can enabled if desired.

Should turn off during the day as it charges. If not the light is not very bright and weakens quickly.

Yes. There's a push botton to turn the lights on/off. I think it works well during the day or night.

From, my experience, no. The sensor requires a lot of light to shut off. Mine was on all the time.

I think you might be asking about the switches that keep light on dusk to dawn, or only when motion is detected.

This switch has a million settings, but I'm pretty sure that isn't one of them. It's designed to turn lights on and off at a specific time of day.

No, they don't turn off during the day. But you don't notice them when it's light out, and they use very little power.

Yes. I have it on a timer. Too bad you cannot have it switch from the daytime pink/white lights to the blue lights though.

No, this unit will only detect levels of light and not be able to differentiate the cause. It could actually turn on the lights on a very dark cloudy day. I added a timer to my set-up. It can only turn on my lights whenever it becomes dark after 7 pm and then shut them off at 11:30 pm. This is alot less complicated than it may sound. It's working well for me and I highly recommend this set-up.

Yes, also it can also turn lights on/off multible times each day, in addition the on/times can be set to automatically change the on/off times each day. It gives a lived in look. Hope this helpsBobby

Dusk to dawn can be turned off. I have mine connected in place of the devious generation of IR sensing light and it works fine with the light switch to turn it on solid or auto switch like you said. A good buy too!

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..

Hi Edna,Mine stay on a bit during the day, but only in my darker rooms. They are triggered by a light sensor, and the threshold does allow for some ambient light. If the light doesn't bother you, the electricity usage shouldn't be a concern (they're supposed to represent about $1/yr).

I'm sure the light sensor would not work well. Ours triggered on very cloudy dark days. You could use it as a standard light though.

No. It will only trigger at dusk with movement. There is no setting to keep on from night until morning

I had a similar situation, a light sensor was supposed to turn them off during daylight hours, but they didn't turn totally off.
