Default Low energy lamps in security lights

The message
from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:

You can adjust/mask the sensor so it only goes off when you want it to.


Loses the point, really!


No it doesn't. We've a PIR by the front door, but unmasked it reacts to
people walking along the footpath outside. Masked it only lights as you
walk through the gate.


Gosh, how useful!

We have a dusk todawn light in the carport so that we can see in the dark if
we need to go out and so that visitors can also see. I'd rather not have it
at all, there's enough light from others ources, but Mr Gadget Man (Spouse)
wanted to use a rather nice light bracket he found in the depths of the
garage.

It makes me smile when he complains about people using torches when there's
no street lighting, saying that it spoils their night vision. He's right, it
does, but he can't relate that to our 'security' light.

But he's a man.

What security does it give by the way?
