Photocell Wiring
Reply with quote Thanks

I have just purchased a Zodion Photocell for switching a simple wall lantern. Problem is the wiring instructions are a bit odd. Connections are Neutral, Line (established as Live in) and Load circuit (established as Live out), however, the wiring diagram shows a PFC connected between the Live out and Neutral. Can anyone explain what this is and if I need a PFC in the circuit?
(Lantern only requires Live and Neutral)
Thanks.

PFC in this instance is generally referring to a power factor capacitor, if your lamp is a normal incandescent filament lamp then one isn't required.
