How To Install Automatic Day And Night Light Sensor ! Easy Electrical DIY For Your Outdoor Lights! 

ITEMS I USED ON THIS VIDEO: - Photocell Light Sensor - amzn.to/3veJswD - WAGO 221 Lever Wire Connectors - amzn.to/48508VM - Voltage Detector - amzn.to/3v8KBWh - Black+Decker Automatic Screwdriver - amzn.to/3v8KEBr

I would not put the sensor in a lamp fitting as it will detect light from the bulb then turn it self off again then then on again and so on

Merry Christmas Jay & fam. Thanks for teaching us essential skills to manage our homes. 🎅🏻🎄🎁☃️🕯️

They do sell LED bulbs with light sensors too, just screw them in like a normal bulb, way easier than add allstuff you did

So I got three outside light front of my house. With one will it work with all three with a single sensor?

Another good option is the timer light switches, they can be a bit annoying to initially figure out the settings but once done they run well.

Thanks for the tips. Merry Christmas to You and Yours 🎉

Great idea for many homeowners. Lets go 🛠🛠

Yo my man, the red wire could be the hot wire but it's actually the load that powers up the light bulb 💡 hot wire is black that's the line wire.

But is there anyway to wire a photocell with a switch bypass? Eg. need the light to be on when it’s dark outside like for a basement, I could also turn on independently?

This was a great video. Everything you said was thorough and very helpful! Thank You for teaching me!

I really like the way you explain everything. I have one of those photocell and will sure to connect it now

Bro I have 2 outdoor lights on garage wall with photo cell sensors. One went out. I bought the exact one like urs at lowes. I installed it during day time with correct wiring. As soon as I turned the beaker on, the older working one was off and the newly installed one came on and never shut off. I waited a whole day to see if it turned off and it did not. At night the other one came on and both were on till dawn and the older one went off at dawn and this one didnt. IDK what"s goin on. That was the 2nd sensor I replaced thinking the first one was defective. any advice? ty

so how would the sensor know when its dark when the light from the bulb is always shining on it?

I learn a lot from your videos and don't think you repeat yourself too much. Thank you!

I think where he mounted that sensor when the light goes on it's going to think it's light and turn the light off I don't think I'd ever mounted near the light bulb

Good stuff, thank you. 👍🏻

For use in a dry location only.. so not for outdoor use then??

Supposing I have several outdoor lights (SIX) all controlled by ONE indoor switch? There MUST be a simpler way than converting each separate fixture.

Could you do a video on electrical panels such as labeling, amps, safety etc. Thank you

I am curious about the longevity of it. Feel like here in AZ the UV kills everything unless its built really well. There are a few lights I would like to install these on

Morning happy new year I'm planning to change my garage door hinges to the one you requested but it is not compatible to them the one in the middle of the 3 hinges that is the one I have so what do you recommend

Your every video is full of very useful knowledge to make our life work very 😊 easy.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas

Great share but an easier option is just to purchase a bulb that do it.

Thanks for the great video very informative

Just buy led auto on bulbs. Way easier.

Very informative, thank you!

Thanks very helpful

Ty sir

I love it

👍👍

Excellent explanation, my question is what happens to light red wire and main power read wire? You told light black to sensor black, light white, power white and sensor white to one . But not show to light red and power red!

The sensor needs to face away from the bulb. I would drill the hole in the outer collar of the fixture.🦧
