Electrical : Zodion SS4D wall-mount photocell kit.
Here we are, peoples. :-)
Time for some photocell action.
In this vid, let's look at a all-in-one photocell. This kit also has a wall-mount bracket with it so that the photocell can be situated remotely from the light fitting, or fittings it is going to be operating.
Characteristics for Zodion SS4D photocell:
Sensor = Photo-diode
Switch =
Relay
Supply = 200-240v AC, 50Hz
Loading capacity = 5
Amps (5A at 240v = 1,200w)
Switch ON level = 70 Lux
Switch
OFF level = 105 Lux
Other makes of these photocells with a compatible connection include Horstmann, Royce-Thompson-Electric (
RTE) and Cableform among others.
It was the arrival of Photocell-controlled street-lighting which led to the phasing-out of sun-tracked timeswitches which would have been located in the base of a streetlamp.

In another vid, I would like to have some silly photocell fun and (in a darkened room) I will get a photocell to turn a lightbulb on-and-off by means of placing the lamp in front of the cell, energising it, then turning off the main bedroom light. :D
Please stay tuned for that one. :-)
Thanx for watching,
