Thanks for the input, gotta see what type of bulbs they are, they never burn out, unlike those POS bulbs we use for the outside house lights, they're always burning out. We only have 9 outside lights that stay on all night Name:  icon_rolleyes.gif

Why do you have 9 lights that stay on all night? Afraid of the bogeyman?

The bulb in my auto light is sodium, like a street light.

We have one motion flood light on the side of the garage, I like that one, it comes on when I drag the garbage cans out on garbage day, gets pretty dark on the side of my garage and I get scared in the dark Name:  shocked.gif

I put fluorescent bulbs in my outside lights, but they're on 24/7 right now, I forget to turn them on/off. I need to buy a timer for that circuit.

Actually those non-adjustable ones can be made less sensitive to light by putting a little black tape over the sensor. Trial and error type of thing. To make them more sensitive, like Hap needs, is not possible as far as I know.

If you're using the flood or spot lights try replacing them with the screw in fluorescent bulbs. Little less light but they would last for many months for us at the house in Seattle. Costco has flood type screw in fluorescent bulbs now, haven't tried them so don't know how they last.

I'm getting tired of picking up and hauling locust limbs! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] Those thorns have me all scratched up, they go right thru a quilted shirt. May have to put on some welding leathers.

Sounds like fun Hap, taking down paneling and sheetrock then putting new rock back up. My kind of a fun weekend. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] Yeah, right!

It's clear up to 38 outside now, frosty this morning. May have to attack the trees again.

Have a pleasant.

Mike

my last able body count was 44. Good turnout, just a bit smaller than expected.
