Can I dissable the photocell on this fixture? Our system already has a photo-relay.

Don't think so. I bought two and one had a loose photocell eye which popped out of its socket. I glued it back in place. The other one was firmly attached and I think it would be subject to damage if you tried to remove it.

Hi Alan, you can bypass the photocell be opening the fixture and unplugging it. Another simple way is to put some black tape directly over the photocell on the outside of the fixture! - Regards - Barry, Brodwax on Amazon

I fought the same problem and found out there is a two year guarantee on this light, I contacted the manufacture and after a bit of haggling they sent me a new one (I had lost the receipt). I have used these lights for 10 years, there is a small problem with the photocell, however there is no other light that compares with one, I suggest the lower wattage light, still plenty of light (35 watt)

Yes. They are on all the time. As far as I can tell, there is no photocell and they are on all the time. I have had some for years and they very gradually diminish in light output but I just bought two more and will continue to use them.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

I agree with David. I have mine on a switch and simply turn the switch off if I don't want it to come on that evening or if I want to turn it off early. No need to disable the photocell. It's a great light, very bright and very economical. I've had it for a year now. Jim

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 you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

There doesn't appear to be a way to deactivate the intermittently blinking "T1" and "T2" button lights that doesn't involve taking the timer apart. As a work around, I covered the buttons with a small piece of black electrical tape and didn't have any subsequent issues with being able to push the buttons.

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.

I don't know if you have to do that. I never did with any of my solar lights and my suggestion is to contact either seller or manufacturer. Its a good question but I am not sure if I am tye right one to ask since I am a consumer as well.

Yes. Separate the base from the fixture,screw the base down after bringing in the wiring. connect the wiring,refasten fixture. That's what I had to do with mine. Good Luck

I don't think that could be done without disconnecting the whole light unless you only mean the bottom. I think the bottom screen could be unscrewed and cleaned.

Yes you can, I removed some old fluorescent fixtures just leaving a white black and neutral wire. I think connected these new fixtures, they worked really well, I bought more

You don't have to, but it can get in the way. You have to wire around them if you leave them in the fixture. Hot to switch to red on led, black out of led to ground, all assuming you have 12 volts feeding your fixture.

I have only been able to use it as a regulator that shuts down before draining your battery. I think you would need to look into building some sort of photocell cut off relay.

There is a tab in the light that needs to be removed. It's just a pull tab like the ones used to protect batteries.

This CONTROLS a fixture in a space that doesn't have wiring for one. Not the way you are asking. So no.
