Review: Very solid, not pretty but feels like an industrial strength item - Seems solidly made, easy to remove for adjusting and works well in our 12volt garden system.
Review: Such a pity - So sad. Such a huge waste of time.This looked like exactly what I wanted; a photocell switch to turn garden lights on at dusk and off again after a selected few hours. But I never did get it to work. Instead of having the usual manual Lux knob to set the light level for switch on, and turn to test, this device uses a microprocessor to ‘learn’ day and night light levels. And it takes 5 days to learn. If after that nothing happens you have to do it all over again, because there is no way to do a manual over-ride test.. I wasted many hours over many days but mine never did learn to switch. I’ve now had to waste more time on packing and returning for a refund. Who designed this madness?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job
*by B***B on 5 April 2026*

Does the job, easy to fit and wire up. Used it on a 12V garden lighting setup. The plastic feels a bit brittle - not the sort to break immediately but after a year or two.
