Description

The 230V Auto Day/Night ON/OFF Photocell, LDR Sensor Switch is a highly effective and energy-efficient solution for automatic lighting control. This photocell sensor uses a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) to detect ambient light levels, enabling the automatic switching of lights based on the time of day. The switch operates by detecting the surrounding light conditions, and when the light level falls below a predefined threshold (i.e., during dusk or night), the switch automatically turns on the connected lighting. Conversely, when light levels increase (i.e., during daylight), the switch turns off the lighting.

This sensor is designed to operate with a 230V AC power supply, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of lighting systems, both indoor and outdoor. Commonly used in street lighting, garden lights, security lights, and home lighting, the photocell ensures lights are only on when needed, helping to save energy and reduce electricity costs. It is also ideal for automating outdoor lighting, providing convenient and reliable lighting control based on the natural lighting conditions without the need for manual operation.

The LDR sensor is built into the switch to accurately measure ambient light levels, ensuring precise control. It is easy to install in any standard electrical circuit and can be used with various types of lights such as LED, incandescent, or fluorescent bulbs. This day/night sensor switch is especially useful for outdoor lighting applications like gardens, street lamps, pathway lighting, and security systems.
