Timed external lights

[Rabsy]

I have found some external lights that I really want outside the house but they are not dusk til dawn and as they will be connected to a switch, I can not add a timer.

I just wondered if there was a solution that I could have these two external lights on a timer but also have a switch over-ride?

They will have led bulbs if that makes a difference?!

Thanks

do you want the switch inside or outside ?

why not fit a PIR sensor ?

They do have a pir sensor, but I thought this was just a motion sensor, these will be lights by the front door so I want them to come one timed t night.

Yes - put them on a dusk/dawn switch with timer, and also connect via a light switch to the output of the timer.

Avoid timers which don't require a neutral.

Do you know where I can find one that would be suitable, I've been asking around and I can't seem to find what you're suggesting?

A combination, or one of these, would sort you out
