    White goes to neutral, black goes to power, and red goes to light. Most common
    Basically you just connect between power to light, and whit to neutral.
    You could have an off override, so you can turn off when dark,
    You could have an on override, so you can turn on when not dark enough for photocell.
    It is just how you wire the switch.
