Industrial Outdoor lighting

We used to have two big spotlights on a motion sensor on our garage. Over the last month or so the motion sensor has gotten progressively worse until it was almost non functional. This weekend we finally got around to replacing the whole light fixture. We found these nice weather tight industrial lights in the “barn section” of Sutherlands, a local hardware store. We ended up buying one for the front of the house, and one for our back porch. I love the look of them, and love the $18 price tag even more. The one in the front we added a little bit of hardware to make it turn on and off automatically depending on the amount of daylight. Needless to say, we are quite happy to be rid of the two huge, non-functional spotlights.

    Looks great. I’m doing a deck remodel and looking to add two of these pendant lights and two of the right-angle versions you used. Can you tell me what specifically you did when you “added a little bit of hardware to make it turn on and off automatically depending on the amount of daylight?” I’m considering doing that or trying to wire in a motion sensor…

    [...] have had a couple of people as me about how I was able to wire up our industrial outdoor lighting so that it comes on automatically at night and goes off in the morning. At first we thought about [...]
