Photosensitive Lighting Timer

« Back to Glossary Index

Many AC and DC lighting systems are available with or compatible with a photosensitive timer.

This timer can sense the ambient light level so that the lighting system will activate a specific amount of time before or after sunset.

Some lighting timers have the photosensor attached to the timer, others have a separate photosensor that can be wired to be placed in a position that has the most access to sunlight.
