Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell
Convenient and energy efficient, a Dusk-to-Dawn Photocell automatically turns outdoor lights on in the evening and off when the sun rises the next morning. This photocell light sensor is easily installed by a qualified electrician.
For best results, the photocell should face North. Protect the cell from any direct artificial light that may be on after dark, i.e. through the windows or from lighted signs, etc. The photocell should have an open view of daylight; inside corners and overhangs may affect operation.Â
- Manufactured in the U.S.A.
- Purchase includes wall backing plate and dusk-to-dawn photocell backing plate cover.

Finish Care & Maintenance
No metal fixture, no matter the finish, is guaranteed against corrosion especially in salt air environments. If your fixture is installed in a location near salt water, we recommend cleaning it frequently.
If your fixture is not installed in a location near salt water, we recommend periodic cleaning with a mild soap-and-water wash and gentle buffing to extend the life of our painted finishes.

The photocell works as intended but it is pricey.
Bought this to go with my barnlight. Easy to follow detailed instructions and fairly simple to install. Definitely worth purchasing as an add-on in order to get it custom painted to match your fixture.
