Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic NE2C Night Eye Dual Photo CellCustomer Review: Automatic Light Socket Summary: 4 Stars
This product works well and for around $5 you cannot beat it (see my warning below). I have these installed in my apartment building hallways. You no longer have to worry about setting your hallway timers... These kick on at dusk and turn off at dawn. Excellent...
WARNING: The only catch is you cannot use a light bulb that is less than 25 watts. I forget exactly how much, but the high efficiency (HE) lightbulbs didn't work well and burned out on me (and this can be expensive after a while). The light socket seems to supply power to the bulb based on the level of darkness. So, the darker it is, the more power the bulb receives to work properly. As the day fades and night grows (that point where it's not quite dark) your HE bulb will only receive enough power to flicker and, after about a week or so, eventually burn out. Make sure you use bulbs greater than 25 Watts. I believe its noted in the instructions, but I learned the hard way...
