How do you wire up a outside pole light with a sensor that turns the light off.?

Question

the sensor has red/blk/white wires were do the wires go to turn the light off when the sun comes up.

Answer 1

connect white to both neutrals connect black to incoming hot wire connect red to switchleg going to lamps

Answer 2

Check on the bottom, part of each exterior light, the sensor may be located there, It will look like round eye. If this is the case, Then they may be "hard wired" to the breaker. Don't believe that would be to code, but not sure where you live. Also you might find a switch that doesn't turn anything on or off that you see, that might be the switch for that light. Also might ask neighbor if they know.(Also are these lights standard exterior lights,or flood lights?)

Answer 3

Wire the sensor between the power source and the light. Black and white wires go to the power source, red and white wires go to the light.

Answer 4

I wouldn't advise any body to do electrical D.I.Y., Its a case of G.S.I. (Get Someone In), The cable has to go from the source to the pole, assuming this is across open ground, if this not done properly it can be very dangerous, my advise is "don't be stupid", G.S.I.

Answer 5

simple follow the direction. they make them idiot proof. i wired one for my drive way and it worked. turn off the breaker and jsut go after it. if you wire it wrong it wont turn on.
