Southwire Coleman Cable 59408WD Post Eye Light Control

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59408WD is an outdoor post eye light control with an integrated photocell, designed to automate exterior lighting from dusk to dawn without manual intervention. The photocell activates when ambient light drops below threshold, turning fixtures on at dusk and off at dawn automatically. A built-in time delay eliminates flicker and false on/off triggers caused by stray vehicle headlights. This unit is suitable for post lamps, pole lanterns, coach lights, entryway fixtures, porch lights, and other outdoor installations. Licensed electricians and qualified lighting technicians typically handle installation in residential and light commercial settings.

The 59408WD is used in residential driveways, walkways, entryways, and porch applications where automated dusk-to-dawn lighting control is required. It serves as a direct replacement photocell for post lamps and pole lanterns. The control is compatible with incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, mercury vapor, high pressure sodium, and compact fluorescent light sources, making it broadly applicable across fixture types without requiring seasonal adjustments to the control itself.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out power at the circuit breaker before servicing or replacing the photocell control. Mount the unit so the photocell eye has an unobstructed northern sky exposure to prevent artificial light sources from interfering with dusk and dawn sensing. Do not install in enclosed fixture cavities that block the photocell sensor.
