Residential Newby here.
I need a big light for my backyard to see my dogs. A lot of little lights, solar and other wise, are too dim for the area so I want to get a 400W stadium LED lamp. I would like it to be motion activated when the pups run by the light turns on. (Similar to: https://a.co/d/agvdhSS ) The light sensors on Amazon are not rated for this high a wattage. https://a.co/d/87DzHEj

Does anyone here know where to buy, build, or make an AC motion activated sensor to turn a higher watt system? I tried looking at various google search sites but no luck.

Outdoor application, I can do the wiring to the lamp. Higher wattage ok too.

Open to creative solutions like a Night-time photosensor that is on at night but turns off when there is no motion.
