The Intermatic NIGHTFOX electronic photocontrol switches outdoor lighting according to ambient light levels, making it suitable for single- or multi-fixture LED and HID installations. Its non-drift silicon sensor with IR filter and zero-crossing relay circuitry support reliable switching and extended service life. Internal mounting and 6-inch colour-coded wire leads simplify permanent installation in outdoor-rated electrical enclosures, in-wall junction boxes or lighting fixtures.
