Southwire Coleman Cable 59406WD Light Control Socket

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59406WD is an indoor light control socket with a built-in timed photocell designed for automatic lamp and overhead light control. The unit activates at dusk and can be set to turn off after 2, 5, or 8 hours, or remain on until dawn. A remote override function allows manual control without adjusting the timer settings. Installation requires no tools and no wiring, making it a fast, straightforward setup for electricians and knowledgeable DIYers alike. The socket is compatible with CFL, LED, and incandescent bulb types.

This light control socket is suited for indoor residential and light commercial applications where automatic dusk-to-dawn or timed lighting control is needed. Typical install scenarios include floor lamps, table lamps, and overhead light fixtures inside a home, office, or utility space. The socket screws directly into a standard medium-base lamp socket and controls the connected load automatically based on the selected timer mode. For installations requiring outdoor use, the manufacturer recommends combining this unit with part number 192010 for outdoor-rated protection.
