Very few motion lights have an over-ride for the dusk to dawn feature, but this one does! You can have it come on dusk to dawn at any percentage of full strength, or not have it come on at all during dusk to dawn, but it will still come on 100% with motion. Easy to change settings too on the control panel. Motion sensor is in the top of the light, so if you mount it high, it won't pick up motion all the time. Not the most reliable on the motion function, but has a nice low glow setting for dusk to dawn, which is what we were looking for in order to not disturb neighbors. Good looking farmhouse modern style, finish is nice, but a higher end light might have a better finish. Limited options out there for motion lights though.
