I'd like to install a combination motion-sensor (MS), dawn-to-dusk (photocell, or PC) fixture in my garage that would not come on at all during the day, but at night would act like a normal motion-sensing light (during the day, enough light comes in from a small window to make navigation safe).
I'm guessing that the pre-made combo packages offered in the stores are not meant to work inside a garage that just has a small window for daylight.
I have a motion-sensor floodligh unit for starters (Heath-Zenith), but I notice that when it gets current, it has a one-minute or so warmup time, then a "lights on no matter what" for whatever the period the device is set for, and then is goes into normal motion-sensing mode.
Apparently, PCs have a warmup time as well, so putting the PC between the MS and the lights would put a long delay every time the MS sends current to the PC.
Does anyone here know of a way to wire up the MS, PC, and lights so that the MS and PC are always powered up (and warmed up), but the lights only come on when both MS AND PC are closing thier switches?
Thanks,
croy
