New photo control solutions ideal for outdoor lighting

Mouser now stocks the LUMAWISE photo control base assembly, sleeve and cover from TE Connectivity. These products help secure long-term reliability by merging a power and signal interface to the dimming receptacle. The device maximizes the effectiveness of light-sensing devices through the use of arbitrary clear covers; colored covers are also offered to designate specific voltage ratings. The base assembly offers spring leaf signal terminals, power twist lock terminals and an individually packaged foam gasket, and meets the ANSI 136.41 standard for roadway and area lighting equipment. The fully assembled photo control operates over a temperature range of -40C to 105C and achieves an IP66 rating, offering robust protection against dust and heavy jet spray in exposed weather conditions. The cover also meets the highest UL 94 flammability rating, 5VA. The base assemblies are available in diameters of 76mm and 81mm with covers of different heights to allow designers to decide the right option for their applications. These products are suitable for a variety of lighting applications, such as street, outdoor roadway, and area lighting fixtures, including harsh weather condition options.
