Button Thermal Photocell · 347V · 2000W/2000VA · Dusk-to-Dawn with Time Delay · Votatec JL-103EE
What this product is for
The Votatec JL-103EE is a direct wire-in button thermal photocell used to switch exterior lighting on at dusk and off at dawn on 347V AC circuits. It is suited to fixture-integrated or flush-mounted installations where automatic lighting control is required.
Use for
Use for wall packs, canopy lights, doorway lighting, passage lighting, vapour-tight fixtures, and other outdoor or industrial luminaires operating on 347V. It is commonly used on Canadian commercial lighting systems where 347V branch circuits are standard.
Avoid for
Avoid for line voltages other than 347V, loads above 2000W tungsten or 2000VA ballast, or applications requiring a twist-lock NEMA photocontrol. Do not use where a different mounting style, smart control protocol, or exact ingress rating is required unless confirmed by the fixture manufacturer.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams replacing failed fixture-mounted photocells on 347V outdoor lighting. The built-in thermal delay helps prevent nuisance switching from temporary light changes such as headlights or lightning.
Installed in
Typically installed in commercial buildings, industrial sites, parking areas, service entrances, walkways, and covered exterior spaces across Canada. Minimum lead length is approximately 4 in (102 mm), which helps with fixture wiring during replacement or OEM assembly.
Why this product exists
This photocell automates dusk-to-dawn lighting control without requiring a separate timer or control system. It helps reduce unnecessary daytime operation and is designed for cold-weather outdoor service, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
Compared with similar products
Compared with lower-voltage button photocells, the JL-103EE is specifically matched to 347V AC systems and carries a higher 2000W / 2000VA load rating. Compared with NEMA twist-lock photocontrols, this style is intended for direct wire-in fixture applications. As typical guidance, 347V photocells like this are commonly selected for commercial lighting in Canada where 347/600V distribution is used; actual suitability depends on fixture design, connected load, and local electrical code.
