Would RecommendI use this product as an attachment to my outdoor junction box for my flag pole. This is the 2nd one I had to replace with in1 year. I believe it would work better under a covered area, the elements corrode the sensor area.

Works very well.
Would RecommendI used this to replace another brand which was failing. The failing one was leaving the lights on for about an hour after it was bright and turning them on before the sun went down. The Tork swivel mount turns the lights on and off at just the right time. As an example, if the sun sets at 6 pm, it will turn the lights off at about 6:20 pm. On a cloudy day, it would be about 6:10 pm. We also live in a very treed area which blocks the western horizon. The swivel is great. My sensor is located und...

NSI Customer Support Less Than Helpful
Trying to install the photocell onto an exterior receptacle operated by a switch inside the home. NSI said they couldn't provide any assistance based on wire color, even though the package installation instructions reference only wire color. The only way I could get the photocell to work was to remove the inside switch from the circuit. If anyone has ideas on how to wire the photocell with the inside switch active, please let me know. Thanks!
Turn on lights in the middle of day with clouds
Would Not RecommendThese sensors turn on lights in the middle of day with clouds or light rain. There is no sensitivity setting to adjust. DO NOT BUY unless you want your lights on any time it gets cloudy.
Perfect replacement
Would RecommendNeeded a photo cell that would mount on and wire up inside my electrical panel. This came with lock nut, perfect product for my application.

TORK-Swivel-Mount-Photocell-Eye
Would Not RecommendI bought this to replace an identicle one installed about a year ago. The old one had a weak sensor that allowed it to come on an hour before sunset and stayed on for about an hour after sunrise. This was not sudden but gradually changed over the year of use.I'll be keeping an eye on this one to see if this happens again.I may have to find another source for these sensors if it does.

Photo Eye
