- Choose the control for the site - sensing base for a home driveway or a rear service area, built in photocell for a storefront or a walkway, external photocell where trees or a taller building shade the fixture.
- Think about the approach distance - a motion triggered light leaves a dark approach until you are close enough to trigger it. On a long driveway that means driving most of the way in the dark.
- Position an external cell where it sees the sky - that is the whole reason to choose it over a built in one.
- Match the wattage to the pole height - 60W on a short pole, 100W where the fixture sits higher.
- Confirm the pole and bracket suit the fixture weight.
- Pole mount and hardwire by a licensed electrician.
Three ways to switch the same fixture
Outdoor area lights nearly always come with a photocell. This one is offered three ways, and which you pick changes how the light behaves all night.
- Sensing base — a motion sensor in the fixture. Low output or off until somebody arrives, then full output.
- Built-in photocell — on at dusk, off at dawn, full output all night.
- External photocell — same switching, but the cell can be positioned away from the fixture where it has a clearer view of the sky.

Which control to choose
| Site | Take | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway at a home | Sensing base | Lit when someone arrives, dark the rest of the night |
| Storefront | Built-in photocell | Visible all night is the point |
| Path or walkway | Built-in photocell | People need to see it before they reach it |
| Yard under trees | External photocell | Canopy shades the fixture and confuses a built-in cell |
| Rear service area | Sensing base | Used occasionally, no reason to burn all night |
The external photocell problem it solves
A built-in cell reads the light falling on the fixture. Under a tree, beside a taller building or under a canopy, that reading is wrong and the light switches on in the afternoon or stays off at dusk. An external cell goes where it can actually see the sky.
Sensing base and cold starts
A motion-triggered light gives you a dark approach until you are close enough to trigger it. On a long driveway that can mean driving most of the way in the dark. Consider the approach distance before choosing it over a photocell.
Installation
Pole mounted and hardwired by a licensed electrician. Confirm the pole and bracket suit the fixture weight.
