- Does the Luxrite Dusk to Dawn need a bulb?
- Yes. It takes one LED bulb up to 30W, and the bulb is usually sold separately. Choose a bulb rated for outdoor use and check it fits the socket before installing.
- How does the dusk-to-dawn sensor work?
- A photocell in the fixture reads ambient light and switches the bulb on at dusk and off at dawn. There is no timer to set and no app to pair.
- Is it safe in rain and snow?
- It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and water jets. Mount it under an eave or overhang where possible, and seal the base against the wall.
- Can I use it with a dimmer or smart switch?
- No. The built-in sensor controls power on its own, so a dimmer or smart switch is not needed and may interfere with automatic operation.
- How big is it and where should I mount it?
- It is 12 inches wide, so it suits a porch, garage or side door. Mount it at eye level or above, clear of anything that could block the sensor.
- Where is the Luxrite Dusk to Dawn cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $81.95, as of our latest check.
