Definitely grabbing some of the wago lever connectors. Had the regular ones for tight spaces but always wished they could be changed without cutting the wire, this is way better. A must for connecting 4 or 5 wires which happens often in old house wirings

I really like the way you explain everything. I have one of those photocell and will sure to connect it now

They do sell LED bulbs with light sensors too, just screw them in like a normal bulb, way easier than add allstuff you did

They do and I have a few, the issue is if its a shaded area like a porch it cant tell night and day well. With this you could theoretically drill a hole on like the side of the porch to put it through and turn any light on or off. Personally I ended up using a timer light switch for it

Another good option is the timer light switches, they can be a bit annoying to initially figure out the settings but once done they run well.

That’s what I did. Got a few TP-Link - Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch from Best Buy for $13 (on sale) and programmed the front/porch lights to turn on 30 minutes before sunset and turn off 30 minutes after sunrise

Yo my man, the red wire could be the hot wire but it's actually the load that powers up the light bulb 💡 hot wire is black that's the line wire.

I would not put the sensor in a lamp fitting as it will detect light from the bulb then turn it self off again then then on again and so on

Morning happy new year I'm planning to change my garage door hinges to the one you requested but it is not compatible to them the one in the middle of the 3 hinges that is the one I have so what do you recommend

@selfmade128 5 ай бұрын

But is there anyway to wire a photocell with a switch bypass? Eg. need the light to be on when it’s dark outside like for a basement, I could also turn on independently?

That is a great question. Unfortunately I do not have an answer to your question at the moment. I will look into this and make a follow up video 🙏🏽

I am curious about the longevity of it. Feel like here in AZ the UV kills everything unless its built really well. There are a few lights I would like to install these on
