Amphora Traditional Pedestal Lantern with Photocell (Dusk to Dawn)

Amphora Traditional Pedestal Lantern with Photocell Sensor

The ‘Amphora’ is a traditional pedestal light with a smart, decorative design. An Amphora is actually a form of ancient Greek vase. The contrast of the black and white really sets the Amphora apart from other gate post lanterns. The ornate black lantern body is durable aluminium. A white, textured glass diffuser then sits inside the segmented aluminium frame. Once illuminated, the glass diffuser effectively softens and diffuses the light emitted. The rounded lantern body attaches to a round base. The lid and diffuser have unique, texture details to give a charming character, different to most black lanterns of its kind. The Amphora Pedestal Light looks fantastic on top of gate posts or on small walls, especially either side of entrances.

The Amphora Pedestal automatically turns on at dusk and turns off again in the morning, therefore the light will not remain on during the daytime. It is constructed with an Ultrasonic Integration Shell (omni-directional).

“Dusk to Dawn” or “Photocell” Lighting

What is a “dusk to dawn” or “Photocell” light? A photocell is a light sensitive electronic switch. In simple terms it senses the brightness of light, and at Dusk when the light level reduces it switches the light on, and at Dawn when the light level increases again it switches the light off. Hence there is no need for a timer, and it means that no energy is wasted by lights being on in daylight.

There is normally a delay of several seconds built into the photocell. This is to stop then turning off and on in error, for example, a passing car headlight could turn them on if the photocell were to react instantly.
