Precision Lumatrol A-105W 120V Wire-In Button Photocontrol with Wall Plate
The Precision Lumatrol A-105W Wire-In Photocontrol provides automatic dusk-to-dawn control for outdoor lighting operating at 120 volts. Its compact button-style sensor is supplied with a gasketed wall plate for installation on a standard electrical outlet box.
The broad-surface photocell automatically switches the connected lighting on when ambient light falls to approximately 1–3 foot-candles. A minimum 15-second time delay helps prevent unwanted switching caused by lightning, vehicle headlights, and other brief changes in light level.
