All you need is patience. It's happened a few times in our house over DIY projects:

KABOOM: "We're not having that nasty bright white LED porch light! We'll look like a pizza takeaway when it comes on!"
...two days later after knock & run idiots have disturbed us yet again: "Er... maybe you ought to put that light and sensor up after all...."
