## Overview

The J.LUMI YCA1008 Twist Lock Photocell Sensor is a UL-listed, next-generation electronic sensor designed for reliable dusk-to-dawn outdoor lighting control. Compatible with a wide range of fixtures including LED and induction lights, it features a fast-reacting circuit board with a built-in delay to prevent false triggers. Its standard twist lock design ensures easy installation and replacement, making it ideal for both commercial and residential use.

## Description

J.LUMI YCA1008 is the next generation twist lock photocell sensor. Instead of using dated thermal mechanism, our photocell sensor features next generation electronic circuit board. It is ideal for 208-277 VAC light fixtures with ANSI C136.10 NEMA turn lock receptacles commonly found on dusk to dawn type barn or post lights. It provides dusk-to-dawn lighting control and saving energy when controlling exterior lighting, street and parking lot lighting. Built-in delay eliminates the load temporarily switching off due to car headlights, lightning or another temporary light source. Turn lock design using industry standard prong plugs makes this sensor easy to remove and install if replacement is needed.

Review: Works perfect if you need a replacement! - Works great! I have installed one at my house and one at my parent's house and neither have had issue and they work perfect every day.
Review: easy install works fine - worked as designed. Still works after more than a year

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do you adjust it to point north**
A: The north orientation was determined by the receptacle base (not included in our light).  This is a replacement photocell. To install the unit, match the larger prong of the 3 with the large inlet on the receptacle base. Push the photocell into the receptacle to make sure the contact is tight, then twist turn the photocell clock wise to lock the photocell in place.  The sensor window should be automatically pointed north, assuming the receptacle was installed properly and facing north too.

**Q: If i install this onto my existing fixture which uses an incandescent bulb will i be able to change the light bulb to led?**
A: If the LED bulb screws into the existing fixture, I see no reason why I shouldn't work.  As I understand it, the photocell merely allows electricity to flow to the bulb when it activates.

**Q: Will this work as a replacement for a Fisher Pierce 6660N photocontroller?**
A: I don't know the Fisher Pierce off hand but I can tell you if you have the three prong / rotational turn design it will work. This attachment connector is standard for the industry.

**Q: You have it listed as 1000w tungsten, 1800va ballast, is that supposed to read 1800w tungsten, 1000va ballast? that is what mine states. thanks.**
A: It is a photo cell switch that closes at dark and opens at daylight. I don't know what my ballast was rated for but if it states that on amazon then it is correct. I am very happy with the product and works as I thought it would.
