I bought a photocell sensor on eBay after learning Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart were either out of stock on them or did not carry them. No problem, I thought, 3 wires and it should come with instructions. It arrived, but with no instructions except on the little plastic part (see second photo). I am NOT an electrician, but usually can handle easy projects. If it had 2 wires, it should be easy, but with 3......that's a problem. I went online to instructables, Youtube, and a few other sites. Although I could not find anything showing what I needed, I did gather enough to attempt it. Here is my wiring diagram (third photo) and instructions:
CAUTION: BLACK WIRE IS 120 VOLTS, SO TURN OFF SWITCH OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
Connect sensor's black wire to black wire coming from house.
Connect red sensor wire to light's black wire.
Connect all 3 white wires (from house, from sensor and from light) together.
Photocells sensor and motion sensors are electronic devices you can use to manage indoor or outdoor lighting these sensors improve the security and safety of your home automatically turning on lights when it gets dark or they detect motion they also save energy by turning themselves off when extra light is unnecessary.
This video shows Photocell Sensor in Switch to light Wiring Diagram. photocell to your LED flood lights dc system or ac system, & parking lot lights. LED pole lights and other LED outdoor lights. There are the steps mentioned below that will help you with your installation photocell sensor. Turn off the main power circuit breaker (CB).
This video shows Two-Way Switch in Photocell Sensor Wiring Diagram. A Photocell Sensor consists primarily of an Emitter for emitting light and a Receiver for receiving light. When emitted light is interrupted or reflected by the sensing object.
