Obviously 1 & 3 are there by default. As to #2... mine *used* to have a

replacement, but I suspect they stopped providing this facility.


It depends on the model.


I'm guessing that Part L regs may have interfered a bit.

My understanding of Part L is that it is illegal to install an
incadescent light outside which will not automatically shut off.

This could potentially mean that newer models lack this 'on' feature,
and you'll have to hook up an override switch yourself (easy enough -
you need to run 4 core cable to the light, and provide a seperate
switched live feed to the lamp).
