If I understand correctly he's wanting it to shut off at about bed time & come back on about the time someone would wake up to simulate someone being home. Not sure the dusk to dawn light is going to accomplish that.

Criminals are idiots, but they know about timers. The only thing that's going to deter them (if it will) is having the light on period.

Eh, he's kinda right but that's not the whole reason. The light bulbs in these two fixtures are the smaller candle light looking light bulbs. Not sure if they even make sensors for fixtures like this that would work? They are also fairly bright even with just one bulb in them, instead of the 3 I could put in there. I do not want them to be on all night as they are fairly bright and don't think they need to be necessarily.
