I had swapped out the incandescents for LEDs (CFLs don&#8217;t work outside here in the winter outside and will wreck themselves), but we still wanted to automate all of them. Installing light sensors &#038; timers was not the solution I wanted, but, until I saw the comment for these, I didn&#8217;t know what we needed.<\/p>\n<p>These switches are ideal: Find the lat\/long degrees (easy on the Internet) and date\/time of your location, and the internal astronomic table &#8220;knows&#8221; when dusk &#038; dawn are in your area, year round. We wanted ours to come on at dusk, go off at midnight, so a simple extra program step, and we&#8217;re done. It&#8217;s coming up on two years since I installed them and, even with a few power interruptions later, we&#8217;ve still yet to touch them again.<\/p>\n<p>These switches coupled with LED &#8220;bulbs&#8221; give us good, reliable, inexpensive outdoor light that we don&#8217;t even have to think about.
