One of the other reviewers indicated that some of the posted wiring diagrams are not correct and the device does not work in the way that they described it. It’s a long story short trust the diagram that comes with the device, it is correct. The device works perfectly. I love the quality of the case and all the components. I will see how it goes long-term so there may be a future update to this review. I’m running a 12 V deep cycle lead acid battery with a solar panel to several low-voltage landscape lights and internal lights to a storage building. This allows me to have lighting inside and outside the building at night and a more has a more aesthetically pleasing around our storage building. Review: Wonky wire colors - Good product for operating outdoor lights. Compact. Nice slow response so it won't go off and on when it's a cloudy evening. I'm using it on a 12v backyard light setup. The only criticism is their choice of wire colors. There are three wires, Red, Black and White. For some reason: WHITE goes to POSITIVE of the battery BLACK goes to NEGATIVE of the battery RED goes to the low side of the load. This is a low side switch. That is, it closes the negative terminal to the RED wire when the ambient is sufficiently dark. You have to permanently connect the high side of the load to the Positive of the DC power source. I've drawn a schematic for clarity on this. Using the RED wire for the switch output is unconventional. Anywhere else the RED =+, BLACK=- and WHITE=Switched output. NOT THIS SWITCH Furthermore the instructions threaten that if you miswire it, you will damage it! ## Features - Automatic DC 12V 24V 36V 48V photocell switch for outdoor lights - with sensor photoelectric system, turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn automatically; wide voltage input range DC 8V-50V; rated loading 5A - Waterproof and safety - with heavy-duty case to protect elements, matching waterproof washer, dustproof and waterproof, suitable for commercial or residential outdoor fixtures - High sensitivity and low consumption - 6 second anti-interference delay maintenance function, can protect switch and lamps at the same time, long life and save energy - Wide application - fits to automatic switching control of solar Led lights, stree lamps, courtyard lamps, corridor lamps and other lighting fixtures; or cars, motorcycles, electric cars, golf cart, club car and other power supply voltage is 12V 24V 36V 48V lamps and lanterns or equipment ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082FBFD8Y | | Actuator Type | photocell | | Best Sellers Rank | #93,722 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #310 in Electrical Light Switches | | Brand | Proshopping | | Brand Name | Proshopping | | Circuit Type | 2-way | | Compatible Devices | Solar LED lights, Street lamps, Courtyard lamps, Corridor lamps, Cars, Motorcycles, Electric cars, Golf carts, Club car, other power supply voltage lamps and lanterns or equipment (DC 8-50V) | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Cars, Motorcycles, Electric Cars, Golf Carts, Club Cars | | Connectivity Protocol | X-10 | | Connector Type | Screw | | Contact Material | Copper | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Control Method | App | | Control Type | Automatic | | Current Rating | 5 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 309 Reviews | | International Protection Rating | IP65 | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Proshoppingus | | Material Type | Copper | | Model | 20191205002 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Positions | 2 | | Operating Voltage | 48 Volts | | Operation Mode | ON-OFF | | Part Number | 20191205002 | | Specification Met | Ul, Ip65 | | Switch Type | Solid-state | | Terminal | Screw | | UPC | 795853609271 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 70 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Proshopping - **Circuit Type:** 2-way - **Connector Type:** Screw - **Contact Type:** Normally Open - **Current Rating:** 5 Amps - **Material:** Copper - **Operating Voltage:** 48 Volts - **Operation Mode:** ON-OFF - **Switch Type:** Solid-state - **Terminal:** Screw ## Images ![DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61onFXLc7yL.jpg) ![DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pCTltLpvS.jpg) ![DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DnfCGQEEL.jpg) ![DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Dq+tuF+2L.jpg) ![DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tr+nyKJWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this run 2 50 watt led lights on 24v** A: For two 50 watt ( = 100 watts total ), that will draw 4.2 Amps on 24 volts so that switch rated at 5 Amps max will work. BUT, there is a reliability problem. I am a retired Semiconductor Physicist and have done significant reliability and packaging work along the way. This switch will fail quickly if you mount it anywhere it will be exposed to moisture. I finally after having 4 or five fail, had to aggressively silicone seal all the plastic seams, the wire entry point and the glass port seal. I finally have one that has lasted more than a few weeks. First put silicone all in and arond the wire entry point forming a nice seal ball. After that sets, carefully run a bead around the glass to plastic seal area being careful to not get it out on the open surface too much. Then after that sets, carefully run a bead around the fine plastic seam where the two case halves are joined. If you do that right, you may get one to last a while. But get another brand. I had better luck with Landhoow brand.... ( Direct Current Photoelectric Switch 12v 24v 36v 48v Photocell Switch Dc 8v to 50v) This one is also rated at 5 Amps. Some of this syle only rated at 3.5 Amps. You are going to have to seal this one too. This is what I have now in an outdoor system and it is going on almost a year now with good functionality. Good luck. **Q: The drawing on the unit in the picture says it’s rated for 10a but the description says 5a, why is that?** A: Dear customer, The max load power of the unit is 5A, the description is correct. We're so sorry for the misprint of the drawing picture on the unit. Thanks for your remind. Any problem please feel free to contact us. Thanks. **Q: will this work on 12V AC system?** A: Dear customer， We're so sorry to tell you that it can't. The voltage range of our item is 8-50V DC. It only can work on 2V 24V 36V 48V DC system. Any problem please feel free to contact us.Thanks. **Q: Wireing diagram** A: Hello, as we could not send the picture here,pls check the description below first, if any questions kindly send us the email and we would send the wiring diagram(or you may find it in the instruction with the product) power input 1. the input red wire of the photocell switch need to connect the power positive. 2. the input black wire of the photocell switch need to connect the power negative. Note:We recommend that connect your car power battery. power output 3. the output white wire of the photocell switch need to connect the lamp positive. 4. the output common wire （balck wire） of the photocell switch need to connect the lamp negative. Note:We don't recommend that connect to your car frame，because it would lead to poor contact after long time. Thanks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Device works well, trust the diagram include. *by T***S on March 12, 2026* Manufacturer has corrected the diagram that comes with the device.

When darkness fell, unit did not turn on the lights despite the fact that the battery had 12.8 volts on it. Only when the unit was tapped from behind with a finger did it turn the lights on, after an audible click. The unit turned the lights off when daylight arrived, but when darkness fell it once again required the finger tap. By the time this was discovered packaging had already been disposed of so no qualifying return. Not worth the trouble anyway, and they won't simply replace it. Defective relays, and when it doesn't work it's a lot of trouble to replace and return. In a word, junk. They should be using solid state relays. They don't stick and they're not that expensive any more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Proshopping DC 12V 24V 36V 48V Outdoor Sensor Photoelectric Switch, 5A Dusk to Dawn Photocell Switch, Mini Auto Photoswitch, Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control Switch - for Outdoor Light(DC8-50V) - Direct Current Photoelectric Switch 12v 24v 36v 48v Photocell Switch Dc 8v to 50v Dusk to Dawn Photocell Light Sensor for Outdoor Lighting with Automatic Illumination Detection Circuit (2) - 2 Pack AC DC 12V 10A Auto On/Off Photocell Light Switch Photocell Photo Switch Photoelectric Switch Photocell Control Light Sensor Switch Dusk to Dawn Photocell Sensor for Outdoor Lighting Fixtures --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/184648256-dc-12v-24v-36v-48v-outdoor-sensor-photoelectric-switch-5a](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/184648256-dc-12v-24v-36v-48v-outdoor-sensor-photoelectric-switch-5a) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
