Hi all,
A few days back, someone posted a question re adding an outdoor light with a motion sensor. Someone responded that you could add an aftermarket motion sensor to any existing light. We would like to do just that to one of our outdoor lights. I have attached a picture of that light (pair actually). Can anyone recommend a motion sensor that can be added to this light?
thanks!
Thanks for the tips guys! I am pretty handy around the house – do you think adding the sensor is something that I might be able to do myself? Does anyone know of an installation manual online that I can check out before buying? (I looked for one, but could not find.)
thanks!
cmu…I have CFLs installed in a motion sensor. What’s the problem???
Also remember you can’t use CFLs on a motion-detector-ed light unless you get a special detector.
Very simple. You could get one or two from any supply house and wire them into the boxes shown in your photo. Any decent electrician could do the job in minutes. http://www.elights.com/rabsms180hl.html
HD has them. So does Loews.
You can also replace the entire fixture with built in sensor if you wish, but no need to.
Make sure you fine tune the sensor or else the thing will be going on and off every time the wind blows.
