I'm guessing he wants the light to come on when someone breaks the
safety beam when the door has been standing open, like at night.

That's what my cheapy Craftsman does. As soon as someone walks through the
sensor the light comes on and will do that for however long the door is
open (shuts off after a few minutes). Seems like a no brain'r from the
engineering department at geni to include that in any opener they sell or
for that matter any manufacturer.

I put a motion sensor on the light in my garage. Does pretty much what you
want.

How about just a motion-sensing switch to replace the regular switch for
these lights? That's what I have.

Thanks All,

Sorry for the delayed response. I think the motion detector on the
garage lights will serve my purpose, Yes you would think that having
this feature on the cheapest door opener would be a standard. I guess
they needed to save 50 cents.

Thanks again and a great site too!
