IP44 Rated Dusk To Dawn Photocell Sensor Light Switch For Outdoors - Weatherproof With Adjustable LUX Control - Compatible With Multiple lights | Black

Arrived on time as described. This works very well and the instructions are very clear but the connecting block inside the unit is squashed into a very small space and it's really difficult to get the wires into it and then screw down the cord grip. Probably the most fiddly and difficult connecting block to get wires into that I've ever come across in the last 30 years. They ought to have allowed a bit more space for this connecting block. Otherwise however a very good unit.

On receiving this unit,I thoroughly tested it before installation.It requires 3 wires, live, neutral and a switch wire to the lamp. The internal neutral block is 2gang linked. Various adjustments were made to the light sensor and the unit worked well.Neat size and IP44 rated.

This light sesnor I use for gate lights. Easy to install and loks well on gate post. I find however the amount of light getting in is too little - so the light do not switch off as soon as I'd like (have set to minimum).. A wee niggle, but still good product.

Did the job

I bought this to replace a 10 year old plus sensor that was switching a 240v/12v transformer for my garden lights that had stopped working.My old sensor had 3 wires live, neutral and switched live. This unit requires 4 wires, live and neutral in and switched live and neutral return. No real problem for my set up to run out another wire as it was in conduit. I mounted my sensor on a slim adaptable electrical box from Toolstation.Unit looks very neat and if it gives the same amount of service as my old one I'll be very happy.

Works OK but the operating light level is not effectively adjustable and comes on about half an hour earlier than I would like it to in the evening. An annoyance and a waste of electricity. The Lux adjuster doesn't seem to do anything and is not connected to the circuit board.

A great unobtrusive sensor which is easy to wire and fit and at great value

Simple to connect up, the incoming and out going cables. My only negative is that although the sensor doesn't require an earth, the lights I installed require earthing, so I had to use a separate connector to join them inside the box, which luckily there was enough room, a simple earth block inside would have been a better idea, so I give it 9/10.
