I used the product for what it was made for. It works like it should. The dealer did his part in shipping it out within 2 days. USPS left it sitting (who knows where) in their warehouse.

This part was a perfect drop-in replacement for the lamp post in my front yard (see pictures). It was identical to the original failed photocell device that it replaced, except the molex connector wiring was different, so I had to remove the wire nuts and install their harness, then plug the photocell into their molex connector. There's a wiring diagram right on the body of the photocell itself and it's really straight forward. If you're at all comfortable with electrical wiring, and know how to properly use wire nuts, this photocell is a piece of cake to install.The new photocell works perfectly and just as well as the original. It comes with a short little tube around the actual photocell, in case the photocell is located in a very bright area. Mine faces away from the sun, so I twisted off the little tube and it activates at dusk perfectly.The backside of the sensor is a weather-sealed cylinder that's 1 & 3/8" in diameter, which fit perfectly in my lamp post.10/10 would buy again.

Exact replacement, plug matched my old plug so no additional wiring issues. My old sensor seemed to be wearing out would come on too early and go off long after sunrise. This one is more sensitive and works fine.

Easy connect ! Had the same connection mechanism as the one I replaced. Literally a 5 minute project.

This product has never changed for years. It’s still the same as it was twenty years ago. Excellent.

I put in the original lamp post and light in 1987 with the last sensor being installed in 2016 from on hand stock. That sensor gave up the ghost recently and I dropped by HD and Lowes to find a replacement. No go at either because it seems that manufacturers have opted for light bulbs with sensors so no need for whole post types. The problem is my light takes 4 candelabra bulbs and those bulbs are uncensored. I didn't want to spend 200 to replace the fixture so searched Amazon and found this beauty. Rewiring was a breeze taking 15 minutes because I had to remove the old plug connector. The sensor was a perfect fit in the mounting hole and everything tested perfectly. A TIP: Rather than open the circuit breaker to cut power to the post (and a whole bunch of other things in the house) find the in GFCI for the outdoor circuit and press the test button. Power for the lamp and any outdoor outlets is cut and can be easily restored by pressing the connect button on the GFCI. The GFCI is required for circuits near water so look in the kitchen, bathrooms, or on an outlet near the panel. Saves hunting through the panel and maybe the need to use the old hit and miss method of throwing breakers to find the right one. Great bargain on this - I'm very pleased.

This photocell assembly replaced a similar unit with the same physical look and function. The connector on the new part was on the large side and barely fit through the hole in the lamp post. The original, failed unit, had a much smaller connector. Because of the connector difference I had to replace the entire unit instead of mating to the existing connector. The unit had the same mounting hole pattern and functioned as expected. The new unit did not come with the rubber seal, so I used the existing one.
