I use a light sensor in the kitchen which has a remote mounted LDR which is
the light sensitive bit. Although not available now they should not be
difficult to build from the example I have. I find it very accurate with a
good range of adjustment. I think Maplin do a light sensitive switch kit
which is almost the same thing. I actually have one but have not built it
so
cannot say what its sensitivity is like. Cost of this type of unit is
between 10 and 20 quid.

ince both are relay type units tying into HV is a piece of cake as they
say......
