I've got a number of outside lights round the back and side of the house that run off a photocell and burn away through the night, lighting up half the county for nobody's benefit (other than e-on).
I'm trying to work out how I can make this better by either;
a) putting "a thing" in series with the photocell that only allows the lights to run for say 3 hours after dusk
b) putting "a thing" in series with the photocell to achieve a) but that switches over to a PIR sensor once the initial 3 hours (or however long I set) has passed
Suggestions appreciated as to what the "thing" might be and where it could be purchased (for less than the cost of the power consumed by said lights).
