Orbit DS15-W Dusk to Dawn Security Light Sensor

Product Description

The ORBIT DS15-W is a dusk-to-dawn light control sensor designed to automate outdoor security and area lighting. The unit detects ambient light levels and switches connected fixtures on at dusk and off at dawn, eliminating the need for manual switching or mechanical timers. It is a standard replacement or new-install component used in residential and light commercial outdoor lighting systems. Electricians and lighting technicians install this sensor as part of exterior fixture wiring or as an in-line control upgrade on existing circuits.

The DS15-W is suited for outdoor security lighting applications including parking areas, building perimeters, entryways, and residential yards. It is installed where automated light control is required without a dedicated timer or smart-home system. The white finish blends with standard fixture housings commonly found in residential construction.

Key Features

• Automatic dusk-to-dawn operation eliminates manual switching
• White finish for compatibility with standard outdoor fixture housings
• Designed for residential and light commercial outdoor lighting circuits
• Drop-in replacement for standard photocell-style light sensors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade sensor for standard outdoor security and area lighting fixtures that accept a photocell-style dusk-to-dawn control.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines for outdoor wiring and weatherproof fixture requirements. Disconnect and lock out power at the breaker before beginning any wiring work. Orient the sensor so its photocell eye has an unobstructed view of the northern sky to prevent false triggering from nearby artificial light sources. Do not install in enclosed fixtures that restrict airflow or block the light-sensing element.
