  • All products qualify for utility rebates.
Photocells

Indoor Light Harvesting operate without lighting turned on. The photocells can be set for the levels desired for ON/OFF functionality. Lights with Photo Harvesting have the following attributes:

  • Wide Operating Voltage Range (100V – 277V).
  • Delay action eliminates load switching OFF due to car headlights and lightening.
  • IP65 – waterproof, rustproof and dustproof.
  • Sonic welded polycarbonate housing and lens to seal out moisture.
  • Controls come with a washer gasket and locking nut.
  • M Models are heavy duty die cast housings.
  • Light level adjustment.
  • Cadmium sulfide photocell.
  • NEMA has twist socket for installing on back of Shoebox and Flood lights.
  • Knuckle adjustable elbow for enabling photocell to be adjusted for best performance.
  • All products qualify for utility rebates.

Remote programming

Remote programming is achieved through the use of a programmable controller which communicates directly with the light being adjusted. This timing event controls percentage dimming and timing for ON/OFF functionality.
