Operation: Automatic ON/OFF
ON: At low ambient light / sunset
OFF: At daylight / sunrise
Operating Voltage: 220240V AC, depending on model
Weather Protection: Outdoor-rated options available
Easy Installation & Low Maintenance
Energy Efficient Operation
Suitable for Outdoor Lighting

Applications: LED Street Lights, Highway Lighting, Parking Areas, Garden Lights, Security Lights, Industrial Areas, Residential Colonies, Parks and Commercial Campuses.

Automatic Lighting Control

The AC-10-220 street light sensor offers fully automatic dusk-to-dawn switching. Its built-in photoelectric sensor ensures that connected exterior lights only operate when required, automatically turning ON at dusk and OFF at dawn. This hands-free functionality reduces manual intervention, increases convenience, and helps save energy by preventing unnecessary illumination during daylight.

Robust Construction and Easy Installation

Designed with a combination of ABS plastic and metal, the sensor is built to withstand outdoor conditions. Its compact dimensions and included surface-mount bracket allow for hassle-free installation on various outdoor fixtures. The IP44 rating makes this sensor suitable for typical weather exposures encountered in most outdoor environments.

Energy Efficiency and Versatility

By responding to changes in ambient light (30-50 Lux range), the AC-10-220 enables precise management of outdoor lighting. This leads to energy and operational cost savings. With its 10A capacity and compatibility with 220V AC, it accommodates a wide range of exterior lighting applications, from streetlights to garden and security lighting.

FAQ's of STREET LIGHT SENSOR:

Q: How does the AC-10-220 street light sensor operate?

A: The AC-10-220 street light sensor uses a photoelectric (light-dependent) sensor to detect ambient light levels. It automatically switches connected lights ON when ambient light falls below approximately 30-50 Lux (typically at dusk) and OFF when light exceeds this threshold (at dawn), providing reliable nighttime illumination without manual intervention.

Q: What types of outdoor lighting can this sensor control?

A: This sensor is designed for controlling a variety of outdoor lighting systems, including street lights, parking lot lighting, and garden lights. Its robust 10A load capacity at 220V AC makes it compatible with most commercial and residential outdoor lighting setups.

Q: Where and how should the AC-10-220 sensor be installed?

A: The sensor is optimized for outdoor installation with a surface-mount bracket provided. To achieve accurate light detection, mount the unit where it is exposed to natural daylight and away from direct artificial light sources emitted by the fixtures it controls.

Q: What is the process for wiring the AC-10-220 sensor?

A: Connect the sensor using its three wires: Red to load (the lamp or lighting circuit), Black to the line (live supply), and White to the neutral. Ensure that all connections are secure and power is switched off during installation to maintain safety.

Q: When is the sensor recommended for use?

A: The AC-10-220 sensor is recommended for outdoor environments where automated lighting control is needed, such as streets, parking zones, and gardens. Its ambient light sensor provides efficient operation in climates ranging from -20C to +55C.

Q: What benefits does the AC-10-220 sensor offer?

A: This sensor minimizes energy waste by ensuring lights are used only when needed. Automatically switching at dusk and dawn improves security, reduces electricity costs, and extends bulb life. Its weather-resistant build also ensures reliable operation in challenging outdoor conditions.
