Nice instructional video; thank you Sir!!If you viewers dont understand what the man is saying you shouldnt be any where near electricity. Youre going to hurt yourself or someone else.
Hi Amer. Nice video! Q: I run a one watt lightbulb 24/7 in my shed from a small battery and solar array. If I add the photosensor will Ithe light actually need more than 24w per day?
Thanks. Interesting question. Most off the shelf photocells need 110 or 220 volts to run, I believe I have seen some which can be installed in a series without a power supply for low volt circuits of less than 12v. Obviously these will not be 100% efficient so some power loss will be expected, maybe 0.5 watt or less. So you have to read the specs of the photocell to really know how much power will it require to operate but just guessing I think you can install in series and the savings in power of not operating during the day will offset any additional power required for the photocell.
If Boeing change wiring to these type of control signal then less leakage because the light enclosed inside pvc tube then no one can read or interfere pit just like fiber optic but cheaper and much lighter than both fiber optics or regular wiring because one of these inside a tube can replace 20-50 kg of control wire bundle
I wired it as mentioned, i have installed many in the past for dusk and dawn controller but this time the device is causing my light to turn on and off for 10 seconds and repeats regardless whether there is light or total darkness
The photocell is close to the light being controlled and that is why it is cycling through on/off, you need to shield its lens so that the light doesn't fall directly on photocell.
Doesn’t get any simpler than that! We jus put new lights up at the back of our church building! (Had to test the photo-cell out & by-pass!)….. the problem turned out to be the commercial lights with starters in them!? Removed & installed standard flood light types! Brighter & more reliable! Wired photo cell back into the circuit with the light timer! Bye Felicia!
No. The black wire is connected to the Live power coming from the house, it will ultimately go to the bulb after passing through the photocell. Once it passes through the photocell, it becomes the red wire. The photocell connects or disconnects the black & red wire.
Why would the light not go out when daylight come on. This is the second straight time this has happened. The present photocell swithch was installed about 18 months ago. It operates a post lamp about 40 feet away that gives some illumination to the property. There is nothing blocking the photo cell unit.
Your probably talking about the part that secures it in a container!? U can drill a hole in metal & have the photo eye/sensor placed & held by those round retainers. Kinda like a door peep hole.
The black is the live that connect straight to the powers … the red should connect to the black from your light… the light normally has 2 wire which is black and white ( white Is the common) how ever you’re gunna connect a next white The white and from the light and the photo sell which will connect the power with the black from the photo cell .. so basically you will end up with live and neutral hope you understand English is not my first language
When I connect the photocell in the red cable there is always electricity. I went to change it because I thought it was bad but it always has the same problem, there is always power on the red cable even if there is light or darkness and the black cable is connected to the live line. You know what happen ?
I I really couldn't understand what the guy was saying in the video so therefore I got nothing out of it and I do not know how to wire I had it wired the first time right trying to listen to him made it spark so if you have any kind of knowledge I know that red goes in hotline coming into the house from the hot box the whites are the neutral in the blacks are the sensors and the green goes to the ground Tell me if I'm right or wrong I know I'm right thank you
Probably not! It’s electrical! Place under a soffit ,over hang, or other! To some degree it may be weather resistant! They make some that are contained in a special housing! So look at the different types that are being sold!?
Simple easy words......ok.....so what about the two imaginary wires coming from the common neutral ????? Might help if yah could see the wires....and where they go.
I have never seen anyone explain how to wire them up and then they work. Every one is a liar. They can't make it work because they don't show it working in real time by covering the sensor. It's all a scam. NO one knows what they are doing.
Chill my friend, someone above commented and simplified further: White wires hooked together from the light and the house. Black hooks to the house and red hooks to the light. So Black (is incoming power from house) and red (outgoing power to the light). I hope it's clear now. This assumes your house wiring is done as per code.
@@akhaqan I tried everything and switched the wires around. I read others who had the exact same problem. My home was wired by aliens from mars in their factory. Maybe that's the problem
