6. Działanie

The Woods 59408WD Post Eye Light Control operates automatically based on ambient light levels:

• At Dusk: When natural light levels fall below a certain threshold, the photocell will detect darkness and activate the connected light fixture.
• At Dawn: When natural light levels rise above a certain threshold, the photocell will detect sufficient light and deactivate the connected light fixture.

• Ensure the area around the sensor remains clear of obstructions (e.g., growing foliage, new decorations) that could block natural light.
• Check wiring connections annually for any signs of wear or corrosion, especially in outdoor installations.
