Outdoor/Indoor Light Control Instructions
SLC5BCW, SLC5BCB
OUTDOOR USE: This Light Control will turn your patio lights or any outdoor light fixture "ON" and
"OFF" automatically.
INDOOR USE: This Light Control can turn your Iight fixture "ON" and "OFF" during your absence
to simulate home occupancy. The light fixture should be without a shade and placed so the Light
Control photocell opening is facing a window less than 3 feet away.
This Light Control, when facing a good source of natural daylight, will turn "ON" at dusk and "OFF"
at dawn. Frosted glass fixtures or adjacent light bulbs can cause the light control to operate
improperly (blink on & off). This problem can be overcome by rotating the photocell opening slightly
(to reduce reflections) or by using a lower wattage light bulb.
This Light Control is packaged with three lens caps, which may help prevent
blinking caused by reflected or adjacent light. Simply place a cap over the
photocell lens. Each will allow different amounts of light to enter the photocell.
If the light control continues to blink or turns off late in the morning, try a
different lens cap.
1. Unscrew bulb from light fixture. Screw light bulb into Light Control and screw unit, with attached
light bulb into light fixture.
2. Rotate photocell opening to face a strong source of daylight, but away from any artificial or
reflected light source.
3. Turn "ON" switch used to control lamp. The Light Control will turn your light "ON" at dusk and
"OFF" at dawn automatically.
4. For daytime installation, covering the lens firmly with black tape should light the bulb. For night
installation, shining a flashlight at the lens should turn the light off.
NOTE: This Light Control is for use with incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. Use 100 watts
or less if bulb is installed pointing up or 60 watts or less if bulb is installed pointing down (see
diagram on package). Do not use this control with another light control or dimmer in the same
series circuit.
