Intermatic EK4236S Select Electronic Photocontrol Review

Works great so far. I was surprised that there was almost no lag when switching on and off, hopefully headlights off the road wouldn't be an issue. In my experience, these sensors typically take about a minute before turning on or off. However, I would like to point out that my sensor was clearly swapped. The package was opened and sealed with tape, and all the details inside rang.

The product has been connected and installed. However, it didn't seem to work. I was confused. I ended up calling the Intermatic service center and speaking to a technician. He advised me to make sure the power and load wires were actually connected properly. So I swapped these two wires and everything worked fine! Couldn't be happier.

I bought this sensor for a home spotlight to be installed under the eaves of the house. The sensor must be installed with the wires up. The instructions say in bold not to do this.

Customer service claims if you install it with the wires up, condensation will form, drip onto the wires, and burn. From the block. I will definitely try it and see how long it lasts. Only 2 stars…
