Product features and benefits - Automatic dusk-to-dawn control: Electronic wall-mount control switches your lighting on at dusk and off at dawn so outdoor lights are only on when needed. Prevents unnecessary all-night operation and reduces wasted energy. - Built-in photocell for energy saving: The integrated light sensor detects ambient light and prevents lights from being left on during daylight. This reduces wasted electricity without manual intervention. - Clear performance ratings: Operates in a detection range of 40–250 Lux (OFF) and has a rated current of 10 A. Use with lighting circuits that do not exceed the 10 A rating. - Weather-resistant design: IP44-rated protection for reliable outdoor use in exposed conditions. - Ready to install and supported: Supplied with all required mounting hardware for wall installation and covered by a 2-year warranty. What it does and why you need it - Automates your outdoor lighting so you do not have to remember to switch lights on or off. - Saves energy and reduces running costs by preventing daytime or unnecessary night-time operation. - Protects fixtures and wiring from continuous, unneeded operation and helps extend lamp life.
