## Questions & Answers

**Q: Previous photocells have "flickered" on/off, seem to kill bulbs.  Does this have a delay or on/off bias to prevent that?**
A: strobbing is usually because the photo cell sees the light source that it is controlling.  try building a tape mask with black electrical tape as a test.  If that works then find a permanent solution to the light being controlled not shining into photocell.  Other light sources can cause this too.  I once found that there was a snow mobile trail behind the building.   the headlights from the snow mobiles would cause the store lights to go out.

**Q: My sesnor  always keep my light on even into the daylight. I need sesnors allows allot of light in so it turns off in low lit areas will this work?**
A: Either the sensor is unable to get enough light to shut off (by shading, dirt or other block) or the sensor is defective.

**Q: how many lights this unit can control? I have 7 posts but only one turns on from dusk to down since I replaced the sensor with the same specifications**
A: I will control all lights in the  circuit that are.  connected to the switched lead of the sensor up to 1800 watts.  From the description of your problem I suspect that you connect the all the lights across the red and white leads and the supply between the black and white.

**Q: Will this work for  solar lights?**
A: To be truthful ... most solar lights are automatically turned on when it gets dark, and off when it gets light. Some solar lights have a separate on-off switch, but when you turn it off it will neither charge the internal battery or will it light up at all. Can't imagine how a solar light could even function with a separate on-off control: if the separate photocell could turn off the light, it would also turn off the charging system, thus NO POWER SOURCE and NO LIGHT.
