Industrial Dusk-to-Dawn Photocontrol

The Tork 2008B LED Photocontrol Yellow 1000W is a turn-lock mounting sensor designed for outdoor and industrial lighting circuits. It switches loads up to 1,000 watts across a 400 to 550 V AC supply using an SPST contact form rated for 2 A incandescent and 4 A ballast currents. A polycarbonate enclosure with gasket withstands temperatures from -40 to 158 degrees F.

Upgrade from Fixed Timers or Manual Switching

This unit replaces time clocks or manual override systems that cannot adapt to seasonal daylight changes. The jump is worth it when lighting must track actual ambient levels at 1.5 foot-candles on and 2.25 foot-candles off without daily reprogramming. It is not suited for circuits requiring multi-level dimming or networked scheduling.

Sustained Operation in Harsh Environments

Continuous exposure to the full temperature range and rated voltage is supported by the polycarbonate housing and sealed gasket meeting ANSI C136.10-2010, CSA TIL A15 and UL 773 standards. The sensor maintains consistent switching thresholds over long periods without drift caused by thermal cycling or moisture ingress.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 3/16 in turn-lock base fit my existing ANSI C136.10 receptacle?

Yes — the turn-lock mounting follows ANSI C136.10-2010, so it locks into any standard twist-lock photocontrol receptacle.

Do I need to remove the gasket before twisting the unit into the receptacle?

No, the supplied gasket stays in place; compress it while turning until the lock tabs click, otherwise the seal can leak.

How often should I replace the polycarbonate housing given the -40 to 158 °F rating?

Polycarbonate typically lasts 10–15 years in that range; inspect yearly for yellowing or cracking and replace if the lens degrades.
