Collection: Photocells

A photocell senses ambient daylight and automatically switches a light on when it gets dark and off when it gets light again. It's ideal for outdoor and security fittings that should run dusk to dawn without manual control.

A photocell reacts to light levels, while a PIR sensor reacts to movement. For lights that come on at dusk regardless of motion, use a photocell; for motion-activated lighting, see our PIR Motion Sensors.

Many photocells have an adjustable lux dial that sets the darkness level needed to trigger. This lets you fine-tune switching for shaded or open positions and prevent the light from flickering during twilight.

Yes, but check the photocell's load rating and that it supports LED loads, since some older units are rated for higher wattages. Confirm the maximum supported wattage on the product page before installing.

Mount it where it sees natural daylight but not the artificial light it controls, otherwise it may switch on and off in a loop. Keep it away from headlights and reflective surfaces, and use tidy Power & Cables for the connection.

Most are designed for outdoor mounting with a weatherproof housing, which is why they're common on street and garden lighting. Always check the IP rating, and consider pairing with an LED Floodlight for area coverage.
