NOTE: If photocell is located in an area under heavy shade,
the photocell may not detect enough light and may turn the
light fixture on.
TIP: To test if the light fixture and photocell work properly,
run power to the fixture and cover the photocell to turn the
fixture ON. Shine a light into the photocell to see if fixture
turns OFF.

powering the fixture. The light fixture will not turn ON and OFF
automatically, but is manually controlled.
