Are you intrigued by the mechanism a photocell follows to intelligently turn the lights on and off with varying sunlight intensity? With this wholesome guide on how to install photocell for outdoor light, <\/strong>you will not only be able to benefit from this energy-conserving mechanism but also understand how it actually works.<\/p>

Before we dive deep into the installation process, let\u2019s first understand what a photocell is, why it is so efficient and useful, and how it works.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Photocell, also called photoelectric cell, is an intelligent mechanism using external light as a stimulus; once the light intensity increases, the photocell turns the light off and vice versa without needing any manual intervention.<\/p>

This means you don\u2019t have to worry about turning the lights off and on as outdoor light increases or decreases. Besides, these photocell units conserve energy by turning off the lights automatically once they sense enough outdoor light. No wonder, their popular name in \u2018dawn to dusk\u2019 lights because of the accuracy they demonstrate in sensing the light intensity irrespective of seasonal changes in the daylight period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The entire working mechanism of a photocell sensor is based on a resistor which is at the core of its working. This resistor in a photocell is attached to the light sensitive plates. When the intensity of the outdoor light falling on the plats increases, the resistor blocks the flow of current, and hence the lights are turned off.<\/p>

When the intensity of light incident of photo sensitive plates decreases, the resistance also decreases and current is allowed to flow, turning the light on at dusk. This is why photocells are sometimes also called Light Dependent Resistors (LDR).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
