The length of time the light remains on can typically be adjusted from 1 to 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Depending upon the particular model, most motion activated exterior lights have detection angles that range from 180 to 240 degrees, and detection ranges of 30 to 70+ feet. During daylight hours a photocell prevents the light from turning on.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7760 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Motion Activated Exterior Light Sensor Controls\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7761\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Motion Activated Exterior Lights\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Motion_Activated_Exterior_Light_3.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The only knock on motion activated exterior lights is that nuisance events can trigger the infrared sensor and cause the exterior light to turn on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Windswept leaves, passing small animals and even passing cars can sometimes trigger the light to turn on. Fortunately, with most models you can adjust the field of view, including the detection angle and detection range, to mitigate these types of nuisance triggers. In some cases you can also improvise by applying a piece of electric tape over a portion of the infrared sensor to reduce the field of view. In addition, depending upon the particular light model, you may be able to adjust the angle of the sensor altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to being sensor activated, motion activated exterior lights can also work in the conventional mode by simply toggling the wall light switch off and on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">By toggling the light switch off and on, the light will remain on regardless of whether or not it senses motion. Some models also support the ability to turn on at dusk, and remain on until dawn.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00L8X4PY0\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00L8X4PY0&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;linkId=4bbf2209a6fc6454efe99b87e9c2fb6c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ASIN=B00L8X4PY0&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;WS=1&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;tag=wwwhomeadditi-20\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=wwwhomeadditi-20&amp;l=am2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00L8X4PY0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When installing a motion activated exterior light it is best to locate it approximately 6 to 10 feet off of the ground and in locations that are near egresses to your home, for examples walkways, patios, garage doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As for actually installing a motion activated exterior light make sure to first read the instruction manual carefully.
