About Light Appearance

About Brightness

Mount these lights on a pole to illuminate pedestrian areas such as streets and walkways. No need for timers—a sensor automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn. With built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other technologies. They produce a neutral white light. All include hardware for mounting to poles with 1 5/8" and 2 3/8" OD.

Dusk-to-Dawn Wall Lights

Also known as wall packs, these lights mount to exterior walls to illuminate building perimeters, entryways, loading docks, and other outdoor areas. No need for timers—a sensor automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn. With built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other technologies. They produce a neutral white light appearance. The lens is prismatic to disperse light evenly, and made of durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate.

Solar-Powered Motion-Sensing Security Lights

Powered by the sun, these security lights function in areas that don’t have access to electricity. They’re often used to shine light on parking lots, landscaping, signs, entryways, and other outdoor spaces. They turn on when they detect motion. These lights use a built-in LED bulb that lasts longer, is more efficient, and generates less heat than alternatives. The solar panel is built into the top of the lights, so there’s no need to run wire between the two. These lights must be mounted in the sun so they can charge during the day.

Styles B and C are protected from low-pressure jets of liquid such as water from a garden hose.

Time and Day Activated Switches

Seven-Day Timing Cycle

Program these switches to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They have a three-prong outlet to plug devices directly into the switch. Use with lamps and other small electrical loads. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.

Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Smart Time and Day Activated Switches

Use your smart phone to turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. These switches connect to your phone via NFC (near field communication) and work with a free app to set schedules, adjust settings, and save programs. They can perform a different program each day of the week, and they compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. You can remotely apply programs across compatible switches, so it’s easy to reprogram lighting or equipment in large facilities. These switches mount to a flat surface or attach to DIN rail.

Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches

Seven-Day Timing Cycle

Designed to work with landscape lighting and filter pumps, these switches turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. They control two devices at once, and have three-prong outlets to plug devices directly into the switch. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Outlet-Box-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches

Seven-Day Timing Cycle

Switches fit single device (1 gang) outlet boxes. Program them to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lamps and other small electrical loads.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. Use the astronomical timing to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset; this option can be used independently or in combination with timed programming.

Outdoor Set-to-the-Minute High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches

Rated NEMA 3R, these rain-tight switches protect against falling liquids and light splashing. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. They control equipment with high currents, such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.

Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.

Seven-day/365-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week or year, and compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. Override regular programming for up to 99 holidays for any length of time. They can also be used to activate equipment such as bells and signals for just a few seconds.

Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.

Switches with a day skipper can be programmed to skip operation for one to six days.

Solar Flagpole Lights

Illuminate outdoor flags without connecting to an electric power source. These lights have a built-in solar panel that gathers energy from the sun throughout the day to power them at night. Because you don’t need to wire these lights to a standard energy source, you can use them with flagpoles located in the most remote areas of your property. These lights mount on top of your flagpole between the pulley and the ball ornament to illuminate your flag from above. A sensor turns them on automatically at night—no need to remember to switch them on manually.
