It's a timer, but you input your coordinates into it and it'll have the the sunrise and sunset times for every day of the year where you are already programmed into it. I use it for my landscape lights and have them come on at sunset and off around midnight, but if you want them on all night you could just set the off time to sunrise.

Installation is easy too because all you do is replace the existing light switch with it. And it functions as a normal switch so you can override the timer settings whenever you want.
That might be a good solution and probably easier than hooking up some sort of sensor. I didn't want to go with a timer because of wide variance in dawn/dusk but if this automatically adjusts that is pretty cool.
