Southwire/coleman Cable 59410WD Photocell Light Control

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 59410WD is an outdoor stem-mount photocell light control designed for dusk-to-dawn operation. The unit mounts directly to a standard stem fixture and uses an integrated photo control to detect the absence of ambient light, switching connected loads on at dusk and off at dawn. A built-in time delay suppresses false triggering caused by stray vehicle headlights or brief light fluctuations. A light-level slide adjustment allows the installer to set the activation threshold without seasonal recalibration. The 59410WD weighs 1.48 pounds and ships in a package quantity of six units.

This photocell control is suited for commercial and light industrial outdoor lighting applications including parking lots, building perimeters, sports fields, and outdoor sign illumination. It is compatible with a broad range of lamp technologies: incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium, and CFL sources. Licensed electricians typically handle installation in line-voltage outdoor fixture circuits where automatic lighting control is required by code or site specification.

Compatibility

Designed for use in outdoor stem-mount fixture applications including parking lots, building perimeters, sports fields, and outdoor sign lighting. Works with incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium, and CFL lamp technologies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local ordinances. Disconnect and lock out all power to the fixture circuit before wiring the control. Mount the unit to a compatible outdoor stem fitting and ensure the photocell sensor has an unobstructed view of the ambient sky, free from direct lamp glare or architectural shading that could cause erratic operation.
