Photocell pointing north? « on: November 23, 2024, 03:44:08 PM » Author: Cole D.
I know on fixtures with adjustable photocell sockets, the socket is supposed to be rotated, so the window of the photocell faces north. Do most installers bother to rotating it?

Down here we usually have the photocontrol on the bottom of the light, they just point backwards or sideways. Also UK style photocontrols (both nema and microcell) have the censor pointing vertically.

I was thinking too how Duke here (and other utilities) are using those smart photocells, which have a clear top like yours do, so rotating the socket doesn’t really matter either.

we don't really have clear tops here, just American nema side window ones.
