Stem Mount Photocell · 120VAC · 2000W Tungsten / 2000VA Ballast · Swivel with Thermal Delay · Votatec JL-106AV
What this product is for
The Votatec JL-106AV is a stem-mount photoelectric sensor used to switch exterior lighting on at dusk and off at dawn. It is designed for 120VAC lighting circuits where automatic control is needed without a separate timeclock or control system.
Use for
Use this photocell for wall packs, flood lights, coach lights, entry lighting, sign lighting, and other building-mounted outdoor luminaires that accept a stem-mounted control. The swivel feature helps the sensor face the correct direction for more reliable light sensing.
Avoid for
Avoid using this photocell on circuits that exceed 2000W tungsten or 2000VA ballast load, or where a locking-type receptacle photocontrol is required instead of a stem-mount style. It is also not the right choice where a programmable control, motion sensing, or multi-voltage input is required.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams replacing fixture-mounted dusk-to-dawn controls on 120V exterior lighting. It is especially useful where the sensor angle needs adjustment to avoid false operation from nearby luminaires or reflected light.
Installed in
Typically installed in commercial entrances, service doors, perimeter walls, parking area fixtures, and residential or light commercial exterior lighting. Minimum lead length is 4 in (102 mm), which is commonly suitable for fixture wiring compartments.
Why this product exists
This photocell provides simple automatic lighting control based on ambient light level, helping reduce unnecessary run time and manual switching. The built-in thermal delay of approximately 30 to 120 seconds is intended to help prevent nuisance cycling from brief light changes such as headlights or passing shadows.
Compared with similar products
Compared with fixed stem photocells, the JL-106AV adds a swivel feature for aiming flexibility. Compared with multi-voltage photocells, this model is specifically for 120VAC applications, which can simplify selection when replacing an existing 120V fixture control. For straightforward dusk-to-dawn switching on a single-voltage circuit, this is a practical replacement style.
