FAQ

Can this relay be used with LED lamps?

Do I need a separate power source?

No additional power source is required; the unit operates directly from the existing 120 V line feeding the lamp post.

Is rewiring ever necessary?

Installation uses the existing three‑wire setup; the pull‑apart connectors replace traditional wire nuts, so no rewiring is needed.

Periodically check the photo sensor for dirt or debris and clean with a soft cloth to maintain optimal light detection.

Is this product covered by a warranty?

Summit Lighting Supply offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
