Photocell for 3 Inch Posts

The Acclaim Lighting 320WH photocell fits 3 inch posts and operates on 120V power. It is designed for outdoor post light installations that require automatic dusk-to-dawn control. The unit mounts directly to compatible post fixtures. This component suits electricians and property managers handling residential or commercial pathway lighting.

Thermal and Power Characteristics

The device draws minimal power while monitoring ambient light levels during normal operation. No active cooling or moving parts are present, so it runs silently. Heat output remains negligible at the rated 120V supply. The photocell maintains consistent performance across typical outdoor temperature ranges.

Sustained Load Behavior

Under continuous nightly operation the photocell reliably switches lighting circuits on and off without drift. Internal components are rated for extended duty cycles in exposed environments. The 320WH model maintains its calibrated response over long-term use. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to listed chemical content.

Questions about this item

How is the 320WH photocell mounted on a 3 inch post and what step is often missed?

Slip the unit over the post top, align the mounting holes, then secure with the supplied screws; the step often missed is tightening the set screw that locks the photocell against rotation.

What maintenance will the 320WH photocell need over time?

Clean the sensor lens annually with a soft cloth and mild detergent; replace the unit if the dusk-to-dawn response becomes erratic after several seasons.

What limit appears first when the 320WH photocell runs continuously on a 120V circuit?

The internal relay contacts are rated for the connected load; sustained operation at the maximum rated wattage will cause contact wear before any other component fails.
