Decent garden light sensor?

[Pete.]

Our garden light sensor has gone on the fritz and turns the light on randomly. It's donkey's years old so I want to replace it with a newer one. One thing it has always done is turn the light on in daylight unless it's really a bright day so I'd like to get a sensor that I can adjust the range sensitivity on and the daylight sensor too, or have it on a timer or something.

Looking for suggestions. It's switching half of a 100w LED floodlight (as in the light has two 50w arrays but I've disconnected one side as 50w is plenty for our garden).

Do you think if this is set 8 feet up the wall where the light is, it will detect my dogs going out th flap at floor level almost directly below?

You need a pir for that, they have sensitivity adjusters on them.
The above is just dawn to dusk

BEG pir detectors have an 'anti creep' Detection zone covers the area directly below the detector.
