Default Floodlight - inhibit daytime operation

I have a 300watt non-PIR floodlight in my back garden. It is on a two way
switch (one is 2gang with the kitchen light - the other is next to patio
door.)
Occassionally someone hits the wrong switch and the light gets put on and
is not noticed for a while (wasting electricity).

I could reduce the problem by fitting a LED version which will minimise the
wastage - but ideally I would like to inhibit its operation during daylight
hours, I don't want PIR as we like to manually put it on to see down the
garden.

Any ideas?
