I just purchased a brand new outdoor light for my house. It is operated
by a normal switch like most lights.. However, my Wife is always
complaining that I don't remember to turn it off in the morning. So, to
avoid future nagging (aside from remembering to turn it off), is there
some sort of device which I can put in series with the light to detect
night and day?

Thanks

Yes. Any hardware store should have them.

Sure, look around for an in-line photoelectric sensor.

A light with a sensor just like mine--got it at Home Depot. Keep the switch
on and the light will go on at dusk and off in the morning. Switch off and
no light at any time.
