If a photocontrol (PC) receives light from the fixture it’s controlling, it may misinterpret this as daylight, turning the light off. When the light shuts off, the PC no longer senses light, turning it back on—creating a continuous blinking cycle that wears out the PC over time.
Proper placement prevents this issue, ensuring reliable operation of your lighting systems.
