Ideal for professional-grade, energy-efficient outdoor lighting control with reliable performance in all weather conditions. ## Description Did I turn off the lights? With the NightMatic 3000 Vario, this question is a thing of the past. It automatically turns outdoor lighting on and off at dusk and dawn. But that's not all: the intelligent night-time economy mode automatically turns the lights off after a programmable time and turns them back on again between 4 and 5 a.m. The twilight sensor is best placed on your property, on the front of your house, or in a shop window. Built-in photo sensor Twilight sensor automatically switches the light ON at dusk and OFF again in the morning. Infinitely adjustable Night saving mode sets an interval during the night when no light is required. Surface mounting There is sufficient space for the cabling. Long shelf life The UV-resistant plastic prevents colors from fading. Suitable for LEDs For light bulbs up to 1000 W (max. 250 W LED), supports up to 50 LEDs. How many LEDs can be connected to the twilight sensor? The Nightmatic 3000 is suitable for connecting up to 50 LEDs/max. 250 W LED or for classic light bulbs with a total switching load of max. 1000 W. Please refer to the operating instructions for more detailed information. Is the twilight sensor waterproof? The twilight sensor is splash-proof in accordance with IP54 and can therefore be installed anywhere outdoors without hesitation. Why doesn't my light switch on in the morning? You may not have activated the “Morning setting” function correctly. Set the function again according to the instructions in the operating manual. Why won't my light switch off? When you use the product for the first time, the calibration phase of the twilight sensor begins. This takes approx. 24 hours, during which time the light remains switched on continuously. The sensor then switches to normal operation. My light switches on and off at unusual times. Why is this? The switching times are based on brightness values. Due to changes in ambient brightness (e.g., summer/winter time) or a nearby street light, you must adjust the settings accordingly.

This means that you can force an override on - simply change the switch at either end of the corridor. If both switches are in the 'off' position, then the Steinel works as if it was directly wired into the mains. I.e. it comes on a dusk, does its automatic switch off around 1 a.m. and comes on again for around an hour before dawn. This is a great set up, because if you are up and about for any reason at 3 a.m. you can force the light on by changing the position of one of the switches at either end of the corridor (and switch it off again at the far end as you leave the corridor). But there is no way to switch if off completely, so no nasty, 'did I remember to set it so it will come on as a security measure while I am away?', moment when you are halfway to an airport. You can force the light to be on, but there is no switch combination that will stop it working as a secrity device. **Q: Can I turn off the night energy saving mode so the light stays on all night and turns off in sunlight ?** A: Turn the dial inside fully anti-clockwise. If you have a newer version it will "tick" every 7 mins. ie flicker the lights. Steinel deny this problem though. **Q: if i install a switch before the photocell to isolate when not needed will the photocell keep needing to reset itself or will it "remember" its settin** A: This "electrician" is wrong. It should be on a Double Pole isolator and fed via an RCD by law. **Q: Is this ok for outdoors IP66 rating** A: I have been using these devices for about 20 years. Over that time I have had one fail out of the 3 I purchased. 2 of the 3 are set up outdoors on external walls, one facing north and one east, with no protection from eaves etc. I would rate them as very reliable. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 May 2020* Wasn’t sure about buying this based on some of the other reviews, but I’m pleased I did.I have this wired mains side of my pond lights 12v transformer. Test it, and hey pronto, it works brilliantly.There is a small dial inside the unit along with a small push button. They allow you to control how long it stays on for or when it turns on.I wanted my pond lights to come on at dusk, and then switch off in early hours, and not come back on again until the next night.The first night it stayed on all night (learning dusk to dawn I think), but second night turned off in the early hours as I had programmed - and has been in operation without a problem since.Has kept the program I set even after a power cut.All in all, an easy to wire and then use - switch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great item - fit and forget *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 October 2020* I used this item to control security lighting. It's great because previously I had to reset the timer constantly due to the length of day changing with the varying length of daylight in Autumn and Spring. After a break in, I now like to have my security lights on during the periods of darkness. My led lighting, I can illuminate my whole properly uing less than 40 watts of power. My only problem with the device was the wiring arrangement which is a push fit. I had not encountered this previously so it was a bit perplexing at first. I fitted another unit for my daughter and both have functioned without issue for 4 years. Would definitely recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Information Guide requires more clarification *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 November 2016* I recently purchased this item to replace an existing Timer and separate Photocell lighting / power control circuit. Whilst the actual device is very compact and relatively easy to connect into a new or existing circuit the Information booklet provided leaves some of the configuration and set up instructions open to speculation e.g. [1]. There are two similar Neutral (N) terminals provided which may/ may not require an external link as no advice is given about whether these are both connected internally. Mine didn't seen to function without an external (N) link. Also there is no advice provided on whether an external override 240VAC connection can be made directly to the switched live terminal (L') - as on my original Photo Cell. In the absence of any circuit diagrams I assumed NOT so to avoid any issues I wired the (L') output to a mini modular 240VAC contactor to fully isolate the device from my existing PIR and Override circuits. This all works fine. [2]. Setting up the unit also has a learning curve - unless you just use the factory settings. Adjusting the twilight setting is fairly straight-forward using the single micro 'button' with a status LED but changing the night economy mode setting using the 'control dial' can give unexpected results - like the OFF time doesn't appear to change from around 22:00hrs to a later time without first resetting the twilight button again. (The device does NOT contain its own internal 24hr clock.) Bearing in mind that any changes involving the twilight button, including first time operation, forces the unit into a dusk to dawn cycle while it determines the respective light levels over time. This means waiting approx. 24 hours with the lighting control circuit switched on ALL night just to see if your changes have worked. This can prove tedious. [3]. The setting for morning hours ON/ OFF also involves use of the same micro button and LED. This may/ may not have an effect on the night economy mode setting - but I'm still experimenting. Overall a very useful device - when configured and set up correctly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Steinel Twilight Switch NightMatic 3000 black, Photoelectric Lighting Controller, Night-Time Economy Mode - WAGO COMPACT Splicing Connector/ 221-413 for all conductor types; max. 4 mm²; 3-conductor; with levers;transparent; Packing Unit (50 pcs) - Steinel Twilight Switch NightMatic 2000 Black, Photoelectric Lighting Controller, Automatic Night-Time Lighting --- ## 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/48690793-steinel-twilight-switch-nightmatic-3000-black-photoelectric-lighting-controller-night](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48690793-steinel-twilight-switch-nightmatic-3000-black-photoelectric-lighting-controller-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
