- Does the Derby sconce include a bulb?
- No. It has one E26 socket rated to 60W, so you supply the bulb. An LED bulb in a warm or neutral white works well for entryways.
- How does the dusk-to-dawn sensor work?
- The sensor turns the fixture on when ambient light drops at dusk and off again in daylight. Motion then raises the output when someone passes, depending on the mode you set.
- Can I use it with a dimmer or smart switch?
- The built-in sensor controls the light, so a dimmer or smart switch is not the intended setup. Use a standard switch and let the sensor handle on and off.
- Is it suitable for coastal or wet locations?
- It is designed for outdoor wall mounting, but check the listing's wet-location rating for exposed coastal or direct-rain spots. A covered porch or overhang is the safer placement.
- How high should I mount it?
- Mount it around eye level or slightly above, roughly 6 feet, so the motion sensor covers the walkway. Keep it away from heat vents and reflective surfaces that can cause false triggers.
- What bulb type fits?
- Any standard E26 bulb up to 60W fits, including LED, incandescent and halogen. For outdoor use, choose a bulb rated for damp or wet locations.
