How to wire a photocell into an existing post light. This is the post light at the Renovation House that is a now-restored 1961 vintage copper fixture with all new glass, socket and LED lamp.

What keeps the photocell from being affected by the post light? I would be worried the artificial light from the lamp would trick the photocell off and cause it to constantly go on and off?

Not an issue here. Light goes wide, not down.

It's better if you disconnect each sensor wire one by one and reconnect the new one one by one before removing the old sensor. Then remove the old sensor and put the new one into the hole. With the wires already connected you cannot accidentally drop it down the inside of the pole.

What size is the pilot bit? Thanks

Pilot bit on a hole saw is 1/4". The size of the hole saw required will depend the the diameter of the photocell. In this case, it was 7/8"

Which one is the neutral. Talk color of wire. Don't assume we know which one is the neutral.

You should pay attention. it is CLEARLY stated that black is hot, white is neutral, and red goes to light. Start at 1:10.
