I would like my outdoor security lights, currently on a standard household dimmer, to automatically go on at dusk and off at dawn.
Will a standard photocell like this work behind the dimmer?

I like the way bulbs last much longer on a dimmer plus being able to control the amount of light & the ambiance with the dimmer, but would like it to be automatic.
The dimmer is already installed in place of a regular wall switch. Can I wire the photocell at the box where the lights are mounted between the cable powered through the dimmer to the bulb sockets? cable from dimmer---->photocell---->sockets
Thanks!
