Hi Ann, Thank you for your message, you can defenitely replace the electric light with one of our Solar lights. The Dover will stay on for 20 seconds after it detects motion but the time cannot be adjusted. There are other light such as the Shield Twin that would stay on from 10 to 80 seconds and our EVO PRO that would saty on from 15 seconds up to 3 minutes. Both the lights I have mentioned have Time dials. Hope this helps. All three light that are mentioned are very bright the dover is 800 lumes, the Shield twin is 550 lumens and the EVO PRO is 700 lumens.
