Southwire/coleman Cable 59405WD Outdoor Light Socket

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59405WD is an outdoor light control socket with an integrated photocell that automatically turns connected lights on at dusk and off at dawn. It installs in place of a standard light socket and requires no additional timer or switch wiring. The unit is compatible with a wide range of lamp types including incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, mercury vapor, and high-pressure sodium bulbs. Electricians and qualified DIYers install this socket in exterior fixtures to provide automatic, hands-free lighting control. It weighs 1.12 pounds and is CUL Listed for safety compliance.

The 59405WD is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor lighting applications. Typical install locations include driveway lights, coach lights, entry way fixtures, porch lights, and indoor or outdoor fixtures that benefit from dusk-to-dawn automation. The photocell sensing eliminates the need for manual switching, making it a practical solution for security and convenience lighting at building entrances, walkways, and parking areas. It is also California (CAL) compliant for markets requiring that standard.
