[QUOTE="southsparks, post: 458487, member: 157"] Has anybody have any suggestions how to retro-fit a photo-cell to a 50 watt exterior LED floodlight. It seems they are not available to buy from new, as I presume that a photo-cell would not work with this type of fitting, as it would be difficult to keep the lights output affecting any cell. I have been told it's possible to fit a "nipple-type" cell to driver cover at back, but the model I have been asked to fit, looks like there's no room for cell unit to fit in. Looks like I'm going to have to fit cell in its own enclosure and fit it separate from fitting, making sure kept clear of floodlights output. I have fitted plenty of cells to 2D and sodium fittings without any "cycling" problems, but to the slim profile LED fittings, not yet solved. I am wondering if anybody else has come across this, and has managed to get over it. Thanks, Southsparks. [/QUOTE]
