ok this one would be hard to explain. 1. one switch was controlling one receptacle this receptacle had a wire connected to another receptacle via a another wire (white,black) this other receptacle had a wire runnining to the attic. 2. i remove the fuse and cut power to those 2 receptacles plus another 2 receptacles and a light in a hall way and a light outside the house. now i forgot how they were connected to eachother( the two receptacles). the receptacle that was control by the switch had 1 wire coming down to it (with red,black and white) and the other receptacle had 1 wire(with black and white). now i put the fuse back and found out that the wire with the (black,white) carry power (i hook up a prong from a light and it works) and the other wire(red,black,white) no power light won't light. i would like this existing switch to control my new potlights(six of them) how would i go about doing this. i hope i explained myself

I want to replace my old fixture, but cannot find one with photocell only. They all have motion and photo. Can I bypass the motion feature and just have the light operate from dusk to dawn?? Thank for any help.
