Question : Why can I use Florecent light bulb with a From Dusk to Dawn exterior lighting?
and if I used it, does it really save money? Or would it mess up the electric system to cause higher electric bills? Should I change it back to a normal light bulb ?

Ah yes the ol’ it ain’t workin’ like it should

Heres the deal a regular incandescent bulb has a wire in it that completes the circuit that tells the switch hey I’m on.
A fluorescent has exciters at each end that illuminate the fluorescent gas. no connection.thus no power supplied to the electronics of the switch…..I have done this get a small wattage bulb 10 watts and put that along with the fluorescent this will use minimum power and allow the higher wattage fluorescent to be used.

the people who installed our photosensor-controlled outside yard lights are absolutely incapable of fixing the problem of the lights from going on and off at sunrise and at sunset. How can we fix it?

The sensor should be attached to the lights either close to the lights or the wall. You can identify it because you will see a black/glass plate. That is the sensor. Generally, you can unscrew it just like a light bulb. If not, just remove it by cutting the wire, removing the sensor and attaching the wire again. Be sure to turn off the electricity to the lamps before doing the job.
