Where do I use an A19 LED light bulb with Dusk to Dawn?

What is a Dusk to Dawn Sensor?

Dusk to Dawn light bulbs use a sensor to turn on the bulb at night and automatically turn off the LED when light is detected at sunrise. They provide automated lighting for exterior use only. Turn on the switch to power the LED, then let the included sensor do all the work.

Why does my Dusk to Dawn light flash on/off?

Sometimes reflective surfaces can fool a Dusk to Dawn sensor into thinking there is sufficient light. This turns the light off. It then registers no light detected and turns itself on. This repeated on/off/on off appears as a strobe or flash. Consider these solutions: (1) Point lights away from one another to avoid the sensors in nearby bulbs. (2) Use a dual bulb fixture with bulbs pointing in different directions. (3) Move a light fixture away from a window to reduce the chance a reflective surface might mimic a light source.

Do I need a timer to set the Dusk to Dawn feature?

There is no timer needed for Dusk to Dawn bulbs. When powered on, the sensor turns on the LED at night and off again at first light for automated outdoor lighting.
