Modifying a motion activated flood light to be dimmer and always on?
I have a motion activated floodlight. (I will add the make and model to this question when I get home.) The mains cable goes in through the back and down in to the IR sensor unit. Two other wires come back up from the IR sensor unit and in to the light itself. To make it always on could I simply wire the mains directly in to the light itself and bypass the IR sensor or does it need to be a different voltage?
Also to make it dimmer do I have to swap the bulb for one of a lower wattage or can I do something else?
1 yes it is OK
2you just need to add a regular dimmer control
The dimmer will make the light yellowish, if you want the color you need to put a smaller wattage bulb
Another option, you can see that on some road signs is to have a small wattage lamp ON all the time and trigger the big wattage only when needed.
Hope this properly answers your question
