I have been searching everywhere and I am not able to find a single gang switch that will control 6- 75watt incandescent flood lights. I would like them to turn on and off at my desired dimmed level. Is there such a thing? I do not want to spend hundreds on a switch. Im willing to pay close to $100 at the most for this option. Thanks

Many floods with motion sensors have a dim position where they stay on dim for (pick one, 3 hr, 6 hr, all nite) and then if the motion sensor picks up something, they go full bright. I have one of two floods on a circuit set this way and like it, it stays on 3 hrs at dim and then goes off completely, but will come on full bright any time during the night that the sensor turns it on.

The other flood has a bad motion sensor, won't shut off if below about 50°F, works normal above that, need to replace the entire fixture or at least the motion sensor.

I have a dust to dawn light fixture where the sensor is on top of the unit. I also have seen a mechanism that screws into a socket and the bulb screws into that. It comes in a dust to dawn version and in a motion sensor version. All availible at Home Depot.

I like the whole fixture because it take an led bulb. Coast is like 25 bucks a year in electricity figuring 12 hr x7 days a week. I have one on each side of my house amd it works out very well.
