FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the photocell controller switch the light?

The controller senses ambient light and applies its approved dusk-to-dawn switching strategy. Exact thresholds and behavior are model-specific.

Can it retrofit an existing luminaire?

Retrofit suitability depends on the socket, supply voltage, load, luminaire condition and required environmental protection.

Does it require a gateway?

A standalone photocell controller operates locally and normally does not require a gateway. Confirm the selected model function.

Which socket standard is supported?

Socket compatibility is model-specific and must be confirmed against the luminaire receptacle and approved product data.

Can it provide dimming or remote monitoring?

This page covers independent photocell control. For remote dimming and monitoring, evaluate a smart street light controller.
