Timer or Photo Cell for
Pole Signs or Pylon Signs?
We are often asked this question.
"When I have our electrician run
electrical power to the pole or pylon sign should I have
him install a photo cell or a timer to turn it on and
off?"
We recommend both!
A photo cell
works OK if you want your sign on all night.
A timer works
OK if you don’t want your sign ever to be on during the
day – even if it is cloudy and dark out.
What
works best is both. The
photo cell turns the sign on any time it is dark enough
for the lighting to draw customer's attention, the timer
keeps it from being on from say 11 to 6 in the morning
when there is no one around to attract their attention!
Electricity is only used when it will help your business.
