I want to replace an outdoor security light for use at the driveway and front door. Just one unit is needed in my layout.
This will replace one that has a mind of its own. It may come own when the sun is still out though it is in a shaded location and it might not come on at night even if I drive in, get out of the car and walk to the front door.
The one I have uses an infrared sensor. I have been looking at the new ones and find that they don't tell what the sensor technology is. It seems that they tout "pulse count technology" A Google search didn't help as far as the technology being used.
At the risk of a bad pun, can anyone shed some light on the way these work and are there any reasonable alternatives to infrared?
