I think I will add a toggle on/off switch in front of the sensor to better control when or if I want the light to operate.
Please do not do this. IMHO, your proposal will not be legal under electrical building codes, and the typical toggle switch is not water proof which means you will be constantly replacing the switch. You may actually be creating an electrical hazard with your proposal.
