Outdoor motion sensor

[burnitwithfire]

My driveway has a sodium light connected to an inwall outdoor photosensor. The sodium light burnt out and I want to replace the whole fixture with an LED light. I also want to get rid of the photosensor since I can't turn off the light unless I use the breaker.

The light is about 20 feet in the air and 15 feet from where it should sense me. Would a light fixture with motion detector pick me up from far enough at that height?

Preferably I would like an inwall motion sensor with a switch since I walk right next to the photosensor in the driveway. I haven't been able to find an outdoor inwall sensor though.

Any help or suggestions?

If you can run your wire under a covered area I would try something like this perhaps.

Go to your local electrical supply house and buy a rab. They are awesome and last forever.

The Rab LED lights are a quality fixture (I just installed 6 of them under some commercial storefront canopies), you can get them with built in photo eyes, as far as a motion sensor, look at the above link. You said sodium light fixture? when the motion sensor activates it, how long does it take to come on? I can see this as being several minutes before the sodium light is fully on
