I'm going to replace the security light in front of the garage. What I'd like is a motion activated LED that can also be switched on so that motion control is bypassed. I've found no fixtures at my big box stores that allow you to do this. Surely this must exist?

Or a smart bulb with app control bypassing the sensor so that if the switch is on motion control on one bulb and the other is on unless you use the app to turn it off.
Look at caseta, ring or Wemo and search around Samsung smart things forums.

That's a simpler idea than what I was thinking of.
I was thinking of a light with separate motion controlled and dipole switches, but I'm not very good at that.

I installed motion sensor fixtures several years back that I got at Costco. Dual flood light units. I put 16W LED (100W Equivalent) flood light bulbs in them. Installed one over the garage doors and one at the back door over my deck. They have a bypass feature built in. Just turn it on normally, and the sensor is active. Turn it off and back on within 3 seconds switches it on in manual mode. They weren't expensive fixtures...
