Dayton 26WA96 Photocontrol Blue 1000W 120-277V
Turn-lock photocontrol switches 1000 W loads at 120-277 V AC from dusk to dawn
- Turn-lock mounting speeds installation
- 120–277 V AC range suits many circuits
- 1,000 W incandescent capacity handles heavy loads
- Raintight polycarbonate housing survives harsh weather
- 40 °F to 158 °F operation covers extreme climates
Application Fit
This photocontrol suits outdoor lighting circuits that run on 120 to 277 V AC and need automatic dusk-to-dawn switching. It handles up to 1,000 W of incandescent load or 15 A of ballast load. Installers who require a raintight enclosure and a turn-lock mounting style will find it compatible. Buyers who need multi-level dimming, motion sensing, or a different voltage range should look elsewhere.
Deciding Specification
The turn-lock mounting type is the single detail that determines whether this unit fits the existing receptacle. If the fixture uses a different base, the control cannot be installed without an adapter.

Questions about this item
How much incandescent load can the 1,000 W rating actually switch on a 120 V circuit?
The unit handles up to 8.3 A of incandescent current, which equals 1,000 W at 120 V; at higher voltages the same 1,000 W limit still applies.
What does the 120–277 V AC range mean for the turn-lock photocontrol's operation?
It will turn on between 10.0 and 20.0 foot-candles and off between 30 and 60 foot-candles across the entire 120 to 277 V AC supply range.
Will the 3 1/5 in by 3 3/8 in polycarbonate housing fit a standard twist-lock receptacle?
Yes, the turn-lock mounting is designed for standard NEMA twist-lock photocontrol receptacles and the raintight polycarbonate enclosure measures 3 1/5 in long by 3 3/8 in wide.
