Landscape Light Photocells FAQs
What is a photocell?
A photocell is a light sensor that automatically turns landscape lights on at dusk and off at dawn.
Where do I install a photocell?
Typically on the transformer housing or inline where it can 'see' ambient light without obstruction.
Are photocells adjustable?
Many include sensitivity or delay settings to prevent false triggers from car lights or storms.
Do photocells work with timers?
Yes—combine with timers for 'dusk-to-time' schedules or use smart controllers for full scheduling.
Are photocells weatherproof?
Outdoor-rated photocells are sealed for moisture; mount per instructions to avoid water ingress.
Can LEDs cause photocell issues?
Not usually, but ensure load meets the sensor’s minimum and maximum ratings.
Do photocells fail over time?
Sensors can degrade; replace every few years if behavior becomes inconsistent.
Are line-voltage and low-voltage versions available?
Yes—choose the type that matches your system voltage and transformer design.
Can I override a photocell?
Most systems include manual override switches or app controls for temporary changes.
