Lighting, Light Fixtures, Ceiling and Exhaust Fans - Dusk-to-dawn switch for address light

Is there any kind of photosensor/switch made for a 16v address light?

Mine is currently on all the time and I would like to put a sensor on it to turn it off during daylight hours.

This is a link to the light assembly that I have:

I don't know of any such photocontrols, myself. I would think there is something somewhere, just unfamiliar to me.

You can control the higher voltage that feeds the transformer though. 120v photo controls are obviously very common so interupting the power to the transformer that feeds the sign is how I would look to do this.

Randy, I agree with nap, just interrupt the line voltage where it is plugged in or where the transformer connects to line voltage. Sensors can be purchased at most stores and installed in junction boxes with WP solid covers. Drill a 1/2" hole in the cover and install the sensor. It comes with a rubber washer to maintain the weather proofness. Mount it where it will work best for the application.

Well, unfortunately the box containing the line is located back inside the garage where the garage door opener is plugged into. There are low voltage wires running from the transformer to the light assembly on the garage wall. I could still do it that way but I would need to somehow install the photocell outside to obviously be able to detect the light.

This is beginning to look like a custom made circuit in order to control the line, which is where my expertise ends. But I don't think it would be very complicated.

If anybody has any ideas or suggestions I am really good at following schematics or diagrams to manufacture something.

Thanks guys...Randy

With a current draw of only 4.5 watts, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it.
