Question:

Fake out a motion detector - how?

I have a motion detector hooked up to a relay to send big current via a relay to a pump. Problem: the detector only works at night because it is designed to trigger lights. I want it to work ALL the time. I've tried a hood, then tape over the lens, to simulate darkness, but these methods don't seem to fool the detector, or, if they do, they also block the infra-red sensing of motion. So -what can I do to fool the detector into thinking it is dark -when it is not dark?

You must be an atheist? If so, then you already have your answer, and this question is pointless. You're just trying to get someone riled up and start an argument. That's childish.
When lightning rods were invented, there were many churches that would not use them. When they noticed that church steeples were the only thing that still got hit by lightning, they changed their minds.
I think you have to open it normally, unwind the curled part, put the beads on, and then bend it back into the curled shape. Kind of difficult but that's how I always used to do it so unless someone knows a better way
They're hedging their bets on the existence of Zeus.
