Light Control Sensor Holder MACLEAN MCE233 — holder for light sensor and bulb fitting

The Light Control Sensor Holder MACLEAN MCE233 is a purpose-built holder for mounting a light sensor together with a bulb fitting. It provides a stable mechanical support and a connection point for installing dusk-to-dawn or motion-activated light sensors that use a standard lamp socket. The design suits indoor locations and sheltered outdoor areas where a dedicated mount for a sensor and lamp holder is required.

Advantages

This holder offers a compact and reliable solution to combine a light sensor and a lamp fitting in a single mounting point, reducing the need for separate brackets. The construction ensures secure attachment and helps maintain correct alignment of the sensor relative to the light source. Compatibility with standard lamp sockets simplifies installation and replacement of sensors or bulbs when needed.

Suitable for

• Mounting dusk-to-dawn photo sensors with a standard lamp socket
• Installing motion-activated light sensors that fit a bulb fitting
• Indoor rooms such as corridors, stairwells, basements, or storage areas
• Sheltered outdoor locations including porches, covered entrances, and carports

When it may not be suitable

The holder is intended for indoor or sheltered outdoor use and is not designed for continuous exposure to heavy rain, direct water jets, or fully outdoor environments without protection. It may not be suitable where a waterproof or fully weatherproof enclosure is required or where specialized mounting systems are needed for non-standard sensor shapes.

Key specifications

• Function: mechanical holder for light control sensor and lamp fitting
• Mounting: designed for use with standard lamp sockets
• Intended environment: indoor and sheltered outdoor installations
• Material characteristics: durable construction for stable support (material not specified)
• Compatibility: fits common bulb-type sensors and standard fittings

How to use

Prepare the installation location and ensure power is switched off before mounting. Attach the holder to a secure surface according to local electrical and building regulations, then screw the appropriate lamp socket or bulb-type sensor into the holder. Connect electrical wiring as required by the sensor and fitting, following the manufacturer's instructions for the sensor or lamp being used. After wiring, restore power and test the sensor functionality and alignment to ensure correct dusk-to-dawn or motion activation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the sensor or bulb fitting uses a standard lamp socket compatible with the holder
• Verify intended installation location is sheltered from direct weather exposure if the holder lacks full waterproofing
• Check local electrical codes for mounting and wiring requirements
• Ensure the holder's mechanical dimensions and mounting method match the planned surface and load

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible dusk-to-dawn or motion sensors rated for the installation environment, perform wiring by a qualified person if unsure, and test sensor orientation and sensitivity after installation to achieve the desired automated lighting behavior.
