A light sensor shines a light on the image to be scanned and collects the data as simple changes between black and white based on the level of reflection. These changes are later converted into digital form for processing.

There are two ways to do it. The easiest is just to put a built-in motion sensor on the one light. The switch would have to be on for the motion sensor to work. If you just want the motion sensor to work without a switch, you need to run unswitched power directly to the light.

How does a dusk to dawn light sensor work to automatically control the lighting from dusk till dawn?

A dusk to dawn light sensor works by detecting the amount of light in the environment. When it senses that it is getting dark, the sensor triggers the light to turn on. As the sun rises and it gets brighter, the sensor detects this change and turns the light off. This allows the light to automatically control the lighting from dusk till dawn without needing manual adjustment.
