The old spot has bit the dust but all the new ones I have seen are
either photocell only or photocell & motion combined. I haven't seen
any version with both photocell & motion circuitry that split out the
wiring so that I can recreate the original functionality to allow
either photocell only or photocell & motion combined.

Does anybody know of any brands still made that will allow for such
breakout?

Thanks


It all just pig tails together inside, so you could put in a switch it
if you wanted, but why would you want to turn the photocell off


I don't think he does. He just wants the option of having the photocell only
ON..... so that the light stays on from dusk till dawn, regardless of
motion.
