Product Overview

The Morris 39069 is a 120V mini-flush mount photocontrol designed for automatic lighting control based on ambient light levels. It uses a 1/2-inch CDS photocell and thermal switch to automatically control compatible lighting loads, with a built-in 30–60 second time delay. The 39069 is identified by Morris as a replacement for 71299–71301 fixtures.

Performance / Benefits

The Morris 39069 provides automatic dusk-to-dawn-style lighting control without requiring manual switching. Its defined ON/OFF light thresholds and 30–60 second delay help prevent immediate switching from brief changes in ambient light. The weatherproof polycarbonate construction, compact flush-mount configuration, and rear-exit leads make it practical for compatible replacement installations. The photocontrol is rated for operation from -40°F to 158°F and up to 96% relative humidity.
