Please log in for more thread options front porch light. It installs where the light switch is. I've seen some that adjust for daylight savings time, but haven't found any yet that claim to have the new DST settings built-in. Anyone know of one on the market that will accurately adjust for DST now? I'm not looking for X-10, just a standalone. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options hours. That way the on time is based on when you actually need the light rather than an arbitrary time setting. The unit I described is widely available. Tim wrote: | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options The sensor is usually on the light fixture outside. The fixtures also
usually contain a motion sensor that will turn on the light fro someone approaching after the light is off. Tim wrote: > I'm not sure that would work for me. I assume what you describe
