The AURORE RLT 6A Daylight Switch (Model: AS-2406A) is an automated photocell light control sensor engineered for 240V AC electrical systems in Malaysia. Designed to automatically toggle outdoor lights based on natural sunlight levels, it activates connected fixtures at dusk and disconnects power at dawn. With a 6A current rating, standard 3-wire installation layout (Red, White, Black), and durable construction, this automatic light switch optimizes energy consumption, enhances security, and automates outdoor illumination for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
 

Energy Conservation & Cost Reduction

Leaving outdoor lighting running during daytime hours wastes electricity and shortens the lifespan of light bulbs. The AURORE RLT AS-2406A photocell sensor ensures lights operate exclusively when dark. By automating this routine, homeowners and commercial premises reduce overall energy expenditure while extending fixture service life.  

Security Automation

Illuminated perimeters serve as a primary deterrent against unauthorized access and security risks. Using a day-and-night light sensor ensures gateway lighting, compounds, and wall lamps switch on at dusk automatically, even when premises are unoccupied during vacations or extended trips.  

Applications Across Property Types

• Residential: Garden lighting, porch lights, gate pillars, perimeter wall lamps, driveway lighting.
• Commercial: Signboards, shopfront facades, walkway lights, parking lot illumination.
• Industrial & Agricultural: Factory perimeters, warehouse exterior lighting, street lamps, security gates.

Installation & Safety Guidelines

Proper installation guarantees reliable operation and long-term performance. Electrical installations must adhere to Malaysian safety guidelines (ST/Suruhanjaya Tenaga standard 240V grids).

1. Power Isolation: Always turn off the main circuit breaker before attempting wiring work.
2. Wiring Setup: Connect the Black wire to the incoming Live (Line) source,  Connect the White wire to the Neutral power line , Connect the Red wire to the Load side (the light fixture).
3. Sensor Placement:

• Mount the unit outdoors or in an unobstructed area where natural sunlight hits directly. \
• Avoid positioning the daylight sensor directly under the artificial illumination of the controlled lamp. Direct light reflection will trigger false daytime readings, causing the unit to flicker rapidly.
• ​​​​​​​Position the sensor facing away from direct headlights or transient light sources to prevent improper toggling.

 

Q1: What is the function of the AURORE RLT AS-2406A daylight switch?
A: The AURORE RLT AS-2406A is an automatic photocell sensor switch rated for 240V AC and 6A. It detects ambient natural sunlight levels to turn connected light fixtures on at night and off during the day automatically.

Q2: What are the wire color codes for connecting the AURORE RLT AS-2406A photocell sensor?
A:The AURORE RLT AS-2406A uses a standard 3-wire color system: Black represents the Line (Live input), White represents Neutral, and Red represents Load (Output connected to the light fixture).  

Q3: What maximum electrical load can the AURORE RLT 6A daylight sensor handle?
A: The AS-2406A switch is rated for 240V AC at 6 Amperes. The maximum recommended continuous load capacity is approximately 1000W to 1400W depending on lighting type (LED vs. halogen/incandescent).

Q4: Why is my daylight sensor switch turning on and off repeatedly at night?
A: Rapid flickering occurs when artificial light from the controlled lamp shines directly onto the sensor eye. Position the sensor above or away from the light beam so it reads natural ambient dark levels.

Q5: Can the AURORE RLT AS-2406A be used outdoors in Malaysia?
A:Yes, photocell switches like the AURORE RLT AS-2406A are specifically designed for outdoor light automation across Malaysian homes, shop lots, and industrial grounds.

Q6: How does a daylight switch differ from a digital timer switch?
A: A digital timer toggles lights based on pre-set hours regardless of ambient lighting, requiring seasonal adjustments. A daylight switch uses a photo-sensor to respond dynamically to natural daylight conditions year-round.

Q7: Does an automatic daylight switch consume a lot of electricity?
A: No, the internal photocell sensor consumes minimal standby power (typically under 1W), while generating net electricity savings by guaranteeing lights do not run during day hours.

Q8: What should I do if the lights remain on during the daytime after installing the sensor?
​​​​​​​A: First, verify the wiring connections (Red to Load, Black to Line, White to Neutral). Second, check if the sensor is positioned in heavy shade or a covered area; move it to an area receiving direct ambient daylight.
