Hi, No, the photocell has only a very small aperature to let light in and it is sufficiently in below the source of light. They are available in the UK and come in both Edison and Bayonet style fittings. Useful for those lights out in the garden for lighting up the driveway. Regards, Mike

Usually when turning on the light the sensor will kick on and turn off after a few minutes, unless you hit the switch twice quickly, and that will keep the light on until you turn off the switch. RJ - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com
