Sensky Photocell Sensor Switch Dusk to Dawn, Outdoor IP65 Waterproof Timer Sensor Switch, LUX and Time Adjustable, Automatic Photocell Switch for Lamps(AC220-240V)

Product Information

Photocells are used in automatic lights to activate whenever it gets dark, and the activation/deactivation of streetlights mainly depends on the day whether it is day or night.

Plug-in photocells: Work with standard AC wall outlets to control a pass-through plug. They offer a convenient way to turn floor and single table lamps on or off. Scottish Islands:HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA30, PA32-34, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3 A photocell sensor can also be used indoors in a space with windows. When there is no natural sunlight coming through a window, the sensor powers onyour indoor lighting fixtures. Indoor photocell sensors increase and decrease the artificial light levels to save energy. For example, on a cloudy day when natural sunlight isn’t abundant, the artificial light from your fixtures will increase. When the sun is rising and natural light is making its way into your office, your artificial light source decreases. Indoor photocell sensors are similar to that of dimmer switches in that both increase and reducethe output of artificial light. the next day the timer will switch on at a time when still daylight thus supplying power to the photocell and when dark enough will activate and turn the lights on Although LEDs have provided energy-efficient light sources, there is still the need to increase energy savings to conserve the planet and reduce energy bills. Photocell sensor is some of the vital devices required for enhancing this efficiency because they create automatic light fixtures that turn on at dusk and off at dawn. But how do they work? We will look at these dusk-to-dawn sensors to explain their operating principle and how to install them. Let's get right into it! What Is a Photocell Sensor?

When exposed to light, photons of energy in the light excite electrons in the valence band. This excitement increases the electron energy levels in the valence band, pushing them to cross the energy gap to the conduction band. A photocell sensor is also known as a photoresistor. But it is not like any regular resistor. It is a variable resistor whose resistance changes depending on an external factor (light in this case). And the photoresistor consists of a highly resistant semiconductor material.

The photomultiplier is a very sensitive sensor. The unclear light can be multiplied by 100 million times. Applications of Photocellsi think we are on the same lines however i just need to confirm a few things with regard to the timer i have. With low voltage lighting like with many outdoor landscape lights, photocell sensors tell the transformer to turn on and off based on how much light is present. For example, when the sun sets outside and it starts to get dark, the photocell sensor lets the transformer know that it is time to turn the outdoor light fixture on. Also great for choice for shop window display lighting or advertising systems. IP55 White Photocell Switch for Wall Mounting - Specs Switch off the circuit breaker to cut power to the light fixtures. If unsure which one it is, switch all the circuit breakers off. And flip the light switch for these lights to ensure the power is off. The light bulbs should not turn on. All damages or shortages will be corrected to your satisfaction as soon as possible with either a replacement part or complete fitting at no cost to you.
