From a safety perspective be very careful around the post light, and do not use it for an outside outlet unless a GFCI is installed.

We are original owners, and the yard light has always been on the living room circuit. I wasn't aware of it until a few years ago, my sensor needed replaced and at the same time moisture got into the pole from a cracked lens. My neighbor is a retired electrician who replaced the sensor and light fixture for me. His opinion was that whoever wired the house either forgot the light post, or showed up late when it would have been easy to wire it...so he/she took the easy route for them and wired it to a different breaker.
