Photocells are useful for managing lighting situations where you only want the device to light an area when needed, and to automatically turn off when additional light is unnecessary.

In this situation, I needed additional light in my outdoor shower at my home in Costa Rica. However, I didn't want the light to remain on all day in the event someone forgot to turn off the switch. Using a wall mounted photocell solves that problem.

In this video, I focus solely on the steps for making the proper connections for wiring the photocell.
