Photocontrol 208–277 V AC
The Intermatic LC4523LA is a turn-lock photocontrol rated for 208 to 277 volts AC. It provides automatic dusk-to-dawn switching for outdoor lighting circuits up to 4,150 watts. The unit suits commercial and industrial installations requiring raintight enclosure protection.
Thermal range and power ratings
Operating temperature spans -20 °F to 104 °F. The switch handles 15 A incandescent and 8.3 A ballast loads. Turn-on occurs at 0.5 foot-candles and turn-off at 15 foot-candles. Polypropylene housing meets ANSI C136.10, cCSAus, California Title 20 and UL listed standards.
SPST contact form constraint
The single-pole single-throw contact opens one leg of the circuit only. Buyers needing to switch both lines or requiring a double-pole device must select a different control.

Questions about this item
How do I install the turn-lock photocontrol and what is the common mistake?
Twist the unit into the matching ANSI C136.10 receptacle until it locks; the step often missed is verifying the 208-277V AC supply before powering the circuit.
What maintenance or replacement will the LC4523LA need over time?
The polypropylene housing and raintight seal are maintenance-free; replace the entire photocontrol if the SPST contact fails to switch at the .5 fc on / 15 fc off thresholds.
What is the first limit reached under continuous dusk-to-dawn operation?
The 4,150 W / 15 A incandescent or 8.3 A ballast rating is the first ceiling; sustained loads above either value will trip the thermal protection before the -20 to 104 °F ambient range becomes a factor.
