Intermatic Twistlock Thermal Photocontrol Light Shield Hood
š” INTERMATIC TWISTLOCK THERMAL PHOTOCONTROL LIGHT SHIELD HOOD š”
Help reduce unwanted ambient light and improve the performance of compatible Intermatic Locking Type Thermal Photocontrols with our 3D Printed Photocontrol Light Shield Hood!
Designed and manufactured by Feral Mama Designs, this functional accessory fits securely over the existing photocontrol housing to help block surrounding artificial and ambient light while keeping the photocontrol sensor properly exposed.
ā WHY USE A PHOTOCONTROL LIGHT SHIELD? ā
Intermatic thermal photocontrols feature a semi-transparent housing that allows light to enter from multiple directions.
This can become especially problematic when the photocontrol is installed closer to ground level, where it may be exposed to additional ambient light from:
ā Vehicle headlights
ā Nearby parking lot or building lights
ā Landscape lighting
ā Other surrounding artificial light sources
Our Light Shield Hood blocks a majority of this unwanted surrounding light while maintaining a directional opening at the photocontrol's sensor location.
By reducing unwanted light reaching the photocontrol, the shield can help the photocontrol activate sooner as natural daylight decreases and remain activated longer before turning off as daylight returns.
š SNUG PRESSURE-FIT DESIGN š
No glue, tape, or permanent modification required!
The shield utilizes a snug pressure-fit engagement around the existing photocontrol housing to help keep it securely in place during outdoor use.
ā Secure pressure-fit design
ā Helps prevent the shield from being displaced or blown away
ā No adhesives required
ā No modification to the photocontrol required
ā Simple installation and removal

ā ļø IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION ā ļø
Proper orientation of the Light Shield Hood is essential for correct photocontrol operation.
On the top of the compatible Intermatic photocontrol is a directional arrow containing the letter āN.ā This arrow indicates the direction in which the photocontrol sensor should be oriented toward NORTH.
When installing the Light Shield Hood, the hooded sensor opening must be aligned with this āNā directional arrow. This ensures that the opening in the shield is properly aligned with the photocontrol's sensor location.
Installing the shield in the incorrect orientation may obstruct the sensor and interfere with proper photocontrol functionality.
Please refer to the installation graphic included in the listing photos for the sensor location and proper shield orientation.

š PLEASE NOTE š
This accessory is designed to reduce the amount of unwanted ambient light reaching the photocontrol. It does not completely eliminate surrounding light or alter the photocontrol's internal electronics or factory settings.
Actual switching behavior may vary depending on the photocontrol model, installation location, surrounding light sources, shield orientation, and environmental conditions.
Because this item is 3D printed, minor layer lines and small cosmetic variations may be visible. These are normal characteristics of the 3D printing process and do not affect the intended function of the product.
