  • a) a light sensor for measuring ambient light levels;

    b) a motion sensor for detecting motion in an area of the control module; and

    c) an integral night light,wherein the control module is electrically coupled to a load circuit and automatically turns on the night light when the ambient light levels measured by the light sensor are below a threshold value and simultaneously automatically closes the load circuit when motion detected by the motion senor is above the threshold value, thereby turning on the outdoor lighting for a duration of time.
