Great question. If you photograph it and measure the outcome, you will find that there is no difference compared to zenith Sun size. This is true of the Moon as well. It's just an illusion based on having something near it to compare the size to.

Eml e100 manual This is an outdoor motion sensor light. I need to know how to keep it off during daylight.?
Turn the sensitivity away from test, put the dusk/dawn (center) in the middle away from accent or security and the timer wherever you like. Dusk to dawn will keep the light on any time it's dark but only on low power - it will go full power once the motion sensor is activated and stay at full power according to the timer setting. Security on the dusk to dawn setting will make it stay on all night and accent will make it stay on all of the time, day or night.
