Your cart is empty. The photocell sensor are designed to switch a lighting load on and off automatically at dusk and dawn. The units are pre - calibrated to switch at light leveis which ensure that outdoor lighting is on when required, allowing for a 10 minute warm-up period for sodium or mercury discharge lighting.
The photocell sensor suitable for use with all types of lighting, I.e. tungsten, fluorescent or discharge.
The calibration is fixed in the factory and is not variable. The units incorporate a time delay to prevent operation by car headlights, lightning etc. They are omni-directional and therefore reference to north light is not necessary.
Specifications:
Power voltage: 120-277V/AC
Power frequency: 60Hz
Ambient light: 2-50Lux
Ratings:
Tungsten: 120Vac,5A(600W)
Ballast: 120Vac,5A(600W)
Electronic Ballast: 120Vac,3A(360W)
Tungsten: 208-277Vac 600W
Ballast: 208-277Vac 600VA
Electronic Ballast: 208-277Vac, 2A
IMPORTANT:
Cell is still live when lamp is off, therefore, always isolate supply to the control before removing plug-in unit or socket or indeed beforecarrying out work of any description on the installation. in the event of breakage of the control cover-isolate control immediately from supply before unplugging-taking care to avoid any sharp deges that may remain.

Do the job it supposed to do. Th wiring is simple, but the little paper instructions that come with it is wrong. Just follow the instructions on this site photo for wiring

Worthwhile purchase. I used these bulbs in a ceiling fan which employs three sockets, in the shape of a triangle. I wondered if they would all work at the same time, considering how close they were configured to each other. In fact, they do all work at the same time, but turn on individually, separated by a couple minutes each. The light output is high. I'd say, by eye, above that of the 60W incandescent lamps they replaced. As well, the ~3000K rating seems low. Again, visually, they appear further along the blue spectrum than expected. Perhaps they seem so bright due to the colour temperature, but without a light meter, you'll just have to take my word for it.

I purchased this photocell to replace the one from an old outdoor light on my property. The original broken photocell was not installed with the intension of ever being replaced. But replacement was just a matter of wiring the new one onto the existing wires for the old one... and then figuring out how to convert the old housing to fit in this new photocell which has a completely different shape and size than my old one. If you don't have some basic electrical experience (or can't assure yourself or your work of electrical safety) and perhaps some basic construction/crafting know how, please don't attempt this kind of jerry rigging. But the product works as labeled.Know this as well... upon install, I attempted to test the photocell by shielding it of any light exposure to get it to trip my light bulb on. But my light bulb wouldn't trip on. I first thought I either installed it wrong, or it didn't work as advertised. I decided to wait until nightfall. After nightfall, the light bulb came on! Been working flawlessly ever since. Go figure. Apparently there is a mechanism build into the photocell to prevent false tripping during the day. So you must wait until night fall to assure it's working properly... or maybe shield the photocell from light for much longer than I did anyway.

I had my light apart and realized the instructions show there should be a rubber gasket on the inside and on the outside but we are provided only one gasket. When you watch the short video it shows only one gasket provided. It clearly should have two for a good seal. That said. I have zero electrical experience and I was able to follow the wiring diagram and it worked perfect first try.

We use ours to drive a contactor and not the light directly but they work just perfectly fine as expected. Fast and easy install

10 minute job after I cut the power off. Only 3 wires and just removed old one and replaced new one at the same time to ensure wire connection was correct. My only issue was the hole from previous sensor was small, so I had to make electric eye hole bigger. No big deal, but did take a few extra minutes to enlarge hole. Workes as expected.. Thanks

This sensor was easy to install and my lamppost is lighting up my sidewalk again! Took less than 10 minutes to install, I gave no instruction stars because I can't remember if it came with instructions. It was very straightforward and I did not need any instructions to install this.

I had a photo cell for about 7 years like this that worked well. It died so I replaced it... but the replacement didn’t work. So I put up with my dusk to dawn pole lights being on all the time for 6 months. I got this baby and it works great. “Back in the saddle again...”
