Photo Cell Lighting

[washregal]

I have had hit and miss luck with Photo cell lighting at my Wash's

A question for the forum is .. has anyone use contactors for connecting all outdoor lighting?

If so.. does anyone have a diagram for hook-up recomendation/>

There's nothing special about hooking up a photocell to a contactor, you just connect the load out from the photocell to the hot of the contactor coil and run the lights through the contactor. All of our lights are on a contactor-controlled photocell.

Does each light have its' own photocell, or do you have one photocell for the entire wash? If just one photocell you likely already have a contactor in your lighting circuit.
