What this photocontrol does

The Dayton 26WA78 is a dusk-to-dawn photocontrol rated for 2000 W maximum incandescent or ballast load at 7.2 A. It operates on 208 to 277 V AC and switches lighting automatically based on ambient light levels between 10.0 and 20.0 foot-candles on and 30 to 60 foot-candles off.

Check voltage and mounting before ordering

Verify that your supply voltage falls within the 208 to 277 V AC range and that the connected load does not exceed 2000 W or 7.2 A. The unit mounts through a 1/2 in conduit opening in a flush configuration and includes a lock nut and washer gasket for a raintight seal.

Included hardware simplifies installation

The supplied lock nut and washer gasket provide the hardware needed for a secure, raintight conduit connection without sourcing separate fittings. The aluminum housing and UL listing support reliable outdoor operation across a -40 to 158 degree F temperature range.
