I've added a lantern with a 2W bulb that lights the downstairs at night. It's on a switch but I'm also keen to have a dusk to dark photocell sensor so I can leave it on and it can switch itself on and off. I fitted one yesterday but the darkest actuation setting isn't dark enough and it'll probably not switch off during the day at all in the winter. Bought another one to try but it's rubbish.
Can anyone recommend a good quality sensor that can be adjusted down to switch when it's actually becoming dark rather than just a bit dreary?
The other project is a lantern hanging from the old pub sign bracket above the front door. I'm guessing a PIR control for that. Again recommendations for a good sensor would be useful - it's quite high up so the sensor would need to point downwards.
