Light pole sensor
 
I am not looking for an contractor or anyone to do any work. I just wonder if anyone can tell me what sensor is used in the light poles....thanks.

Ace on Wedgewood has them!

ACE Hardware sells the replacement light pole sensors for The Villages. I would suggest that take a photo of it to take with you to the store.

Make sure the power is OFF before you try to remove the sensor, TURN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OFF.

Lowes has them in the ele dept, its a tork rkp301 button photocontrol $11.48 ,

Lowes, Home Depot or Ace Hardware all have them. Real easy to change out. Previous post to make sure power is off is real important, wires are close together..

Ace hardware in Wildwood or Southern trace has them for about $10. Easy install, they will take you by the hand, you do not even need to have your old sensor with you.

Just get a dusk to dawn bulb from Amazon or the larger diy stores. Why fuss with the electronics, you’ll have to change the bulbs eventually anyway.

ace hardware carries them

Amazon has them for $6.78. Look for Woods 59408WD.

Lowes has the part as well as ACE - When you go to replace take a picture with your phone or a camera of how the wires are hooked up even if you feel you will remember how they hook up because sometimes you have several black or white wires along with red & green. Easy to replace.

They have them at Ace Hardware on 466 Southern Trace.

ACE Hardware in Wildwood has them also. Two different types. Both will work.
Also have bulbs with sensors built in.
