Pollin MROK-MINI Twilight Switch 16A 230V 2-50Lx IP65

The Pollin MROK-MINI is a compact and efficient twilight switch engineered for the automatic management of lighting systems based on real-time ambient light levels. By monitoring natural light, this device ensures that connected lamps or illumination systems activate precisely when darkness falls and deactivate at dawn, providing both convenience and energy efficiency for residential or commercial properties.

Advantages

This twilight switch offers a robust solution for outdoor lighting automation due to its high-quality construction and reliable sensor technology. The device supports a significant load capacity of up to 16A, making it compatible with various lighting types, including high-power LED systems or traditional bulbs. Its adjustable sensitivity range allows users to fine-tune the activation threshold between 2 and 50 lux, ensuring the system operates exactly according to specific environmental requirements. Furthermore, the IP65-rated housing provides excellent protection against dust ingress and water jets, ensuring long-term performance in diverse weather conditions.

Suitable for

• Automatic control of garden and pathway lighting
• Street lighting and public area illumination
• Building facade and architectural lighting systems
• Security lighting for residential perimeters

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for indoor use where ambient light levels are controlled by artificial sources, as this may cause the switch to cycle on and off unexpectedly. It is also not suitable for high-voltage industrial applications exceeding the 230V rating or for loads that exceed the 16A current limit.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 230V AC
• Maximum load capacity: 16A
• Sensitivity range: 2 to 50 lux
• Ingress protection rating: IP65
• Installation type: Outdoor wall mount

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. The unit must be mounted in a location where it can accurately detect natural daylight without being obstructed by shadows or directly illuminated by the light source it controls. Once mounted, the sensitivity threshold can be adjusted via the integrated control to match the desired lighting conditions for activation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the total wattage of your lighting system does not exceed the 16A load capacity.
• Verify that the mounting location is free from direct artificial light interference.
• Confirm that the power supply matches the 230V requirement.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, position the sensor facing away from the light source it controls to prevent a feedback loop that could cause the lights to flicker during the transition between day and night.
