The Westek LC120BC-4 Photo Control operates automatically based on ambient light conditions:

  • אָטאַמאַטיק אָפּעראַציע: The integrated photocell detects when natural light levels fall below a certain threshold (dusk) and automatically activates the connected lighting fixture. When natural light levels rise above the threshold (dawn), the control deactivates the lighting.
  • Time Delay Feature: This control includes a time delay feature. This prevents the light from turning on or off due to momentary light changes, such as car headlights or lightning flashes, thereby eliminating annoying flickering.
  • פּלייסמאַנט קאָנסידעראַטיאָנס: For optimal performance, ensure the photocell is not obstructed by objects, shadows, or artificial light sources (e.g., other lamps, security lights) that could interfere with its ability to accurately detect natural light.
