What's the best way to link up the garage lights to a garage opener?
Our opener has very poor source of light. I would like the overhead
lights to turn on when the garage door opens. Is there some kind of
device that I can add to the switch that can be activated in
conjunction with the opener?

Thanks,

Larry

You might want to try substituting CF (compact florescent) lamps
for the light you now have. Use as high a wattage CF as you can
find that will fit and is not greater than the max indicated for the
fixture. That will usually give you 3-7 times more light.


...but they don't work too well in cold weather, and may not work at
all with motion-sensing switches.

You may be correct about the motion-sensing switches, but the OP was
talking about the lights on the garage door opener.

Modern CF do remarkably well in cold weather. They start slightly
dimmed and brighten in a short time.
