How are the lights controlled? Is a timer or photocell included?

There is no timer or photocell. I connected to a switch controled outlet. Easy enough to install a properly rated in-line switch, or you could use a small power strip with a on/off switch.

I used a timer with my lights. It doesnt come with it. You will have to get one from your local hardware, home depot or lowes.

yes, photocell is included. At first I thought these lights were great but in the several months that I have had them the amount of light they put out has decreased significantly. When first installed in the soffits of my pool house they would light up the structure enough that I could see it from my house 50-75 feet away. Now I literally have gone out there several times to within 10 feet of structure to verify that they are still on. At best they are putting out 25% of the light they originally put out.

No timer or photocell included. A separate photocell exists that works with the system fitting inline.

It does not include a timer feature. You could probably plug it into a timer outlet like those sold to turn lights off and on and accomplish what you want to do.

Yes, there is a switch to turn the lights on and off. I have mine set on a timer to run at certain times of the day where I can enjoy it, but not all the time.

There is only one way to control it - the up & down arrows. A small label next to the light sensor lists the options: 0 turns the output on, A is auto-on, that is whenever the outside light level gets low enough, everything is on. Continuing with the up arrow, it does auto with timed shutoff and each number corresponds to the number of hours before it shuts off. For example, I use a setting of 3, which turns on the lights around 8:50 PM and shuts them off 3 hours later. Pretty crude controls, but I really don't need anything more more.

There is a power wire and a reciever wire on the light. I think if u had two lights u can control off one remote.

This unit has a photo light sensor. You just set how long you want the lights to stay on for. So auto on at dusk and off base on how long you set the duration for.

it is a sealed watertight fixture. you would have to drill into the fixture to install photocell on light. i replaced my 200 watt sodium fixture w photocell. with 2 of these 10 watt fixtures. 4 months plugged directly into an outlet no timer no photo cell. honestly, at 10 watts each, i am not sweating the expense of keeping these plugged in all the time. other that a photo cell you might want to plug in a timer into the outlet to give you pretty much the same option as a photo cell would. good luck

Not sure what timer you are referring to. There is a simple ON setting that bypasses the light sensor.

It is a simple spring-loaded switch - open the door, the lights are on. Close it, they're off. No timer.

I have mine hooked up to a timer so I'm not certain so not certain how photocell would work , having said that I love the light. Have been waiting for an LED light like this for awhile.

Yes, yes, and the photocell turns them "on" at dusk. You determine the length of time you want them on. They're great. Would recommend them, especially for the price.

It has an on off switch. It's not on a timer. We have a separate dawn light. Not apparent to me how you would combine it.

I ony use the photocell but I know it has a option to have it come on with the photocell and stay on for a specific number of hours rather than turn off with the photocell also.

Yes, you can run the lights on a timer. The lights have a separate plug and cord from the pump.

The lights just have a positive and negative wire that you can connect to any power source. No control box.

Any timer would work fine with the light. Hydro farm sells a 7 day digital one that you can have different settings throughout the week but even a cheap analog timer from Walmart would work fine with it

The lights are sold as stand-alone units. You have to source the wire (I bought 50') and the power supply separately. Both I bought off of Amazon. The power supply I bought (there are several options) has an electric eye and timer. Some do not.
