When working on a roadway lighting project, choosing the right fixture is extremely important. Roadway lighting must be effective and reliable to ensure the safety of everyone who uses the road, whether it be drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians. Since this type of project often involves a large number of fixtures, selecting a quality product at the outset goes a long way towards making sure the project is a success. Our Series GKORL01 Roadway Light provides dependable, energy-efficient LED lighting for highways and roadways, and has been designed with the needs of the lighting professional in mind. Rated DLC Premium, it is truly a quality fixture you can count on.

Key Features

Why Photocells are important for your Commercial LED Lighting project

GKOLED — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:30:33 +0000

GKOLED’s Roadway Lights, Area Lights, Flood Lights, Wall Packs and Dusk to Dawn Lights can help provide additional security and require reliable dusk to dawn operation. These Commercial LED Lights need to reliably turn on when it gets dark, to ensure safety, and turn off when it gets light, to conserve energy. While it is possible to accomplish this by setting light fixtures on a timer, this solution does not account for the natural changes in daylight that occur in inclement weather. Additionally, as we will experience on November 3rd, a timer will not automatically adjust itself for Daylight Saving Time. A much more effective solution is to install a photocell, which will read the amount of ambient light and turn the fixture on or off accordingly.

To provide the dusk to dawn functionality required by many energy reduction and security lighting LED projects, GKOLED offers photocells for the majority of our Commercial Outdoor LED Lighting fixtures, some as an optional add-on and others included by default. To make this convenient for you we can pre-install the photocells at our Chicago facility by request. However, you may choose to install them yourself as our photocells are set to automatically turn a fixture on at 10-20 Lux and off at 60-80 Lux and do not require complicated programming or setup.

We carry two types of photocells for use with GKOLED’s Commercial LED Lights. Twist Lock Photocells are available in 120-277V, 348V, and 480V, accommodating different electrical requirements, and are attached to the exterior of a fixture for simple service and maintenance. Button Photocells are available in a standard voltage of 120-277V, and are installed inside the fixture with only the sensor exposed, resulting in a low profile. As always, for a Risk-Free Trial of any of our Commercial and Residential LED Lighting fixtures, contact us at 516-670-6888 so we can help you determine what LED light would be the best solution for you.
