Please reply if you have had problems with Photocell E127584.

have the photocell power a relay. so the photocell only carries very low power..

and use CFLs or LED bulbs. Sometimes incandescents burning out create high power surges when the bulb goes white hot for a moment.

Those damage photocell controls....

Hmm,
How come? relay is switching the power to the bulbs. Relay acts like
isolator betweeon cell and 120V. Cell can go bad when exposed to extreme
element.

I have the same problem with the replacement for the photocell. I sent an e
mail to Progress Lighting the company that sells the patio lights with
photocell assembly and still waiting for their response.
