Would it be possible to put this on a switch in addition to using the light sensor if you wanted to turn it on when the sensor isn't activated?
Would you have to wire it like a three way switch with the light sensor acting as the second switch? Or is there another way that I'm missing?

[@handydadtv]

You could definitely wire it with a switch but not a 3-way. The switch wouldn’t override the light sensor.

Should the conduit from the outlet into the ground be sealed so that insects don't make their way into that wall box?

[@handydadtv]

I always leave it open, so water can escape down the bottom.

[@henrymcdonald870]

Great job

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@secretagentbrewsky]

do you have 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit?

[@handydadtv]

Yes. Nothing wrong with that. Just can’t put 20 amp outlets on a 15 amp circuit.

[@Eric.Mercado]

I can’t believe you or they got rid of that gorgeous blue spruce! 😢 As well as some of the other mature specimens. Were they diseased or unhealthy?

[@handydadtv]

They were all overgrown.

[@KeatonWarner1]

👍

[@handydadtv]

Thanks

Direct burial cable must be 24 inches deep unless under concrete or in conduit per NEC section 300.5.
18” if using pvc conduit and 6” if using rigid metal conduit.

[@handydadtv]

True for non-GFCI circuits.

Look at column four, 12" for 120 volt GFCI protected branch circuit.
