The HPM PE170R2 is a programmable light sensitive switch rated 230–240V AC, IP56 weatherproof, for controlling outdoor lights. It turns lights on at sunset and off at a time you set (between 9 pm and 4 am). The PE170R2 is different from standard PE cells: it keeps the same off time every night of the year, even as sunset times change through summer and winter. The unit stores your settings in non-volatile memory, so they survive a power cut. It is suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial outdoor lighting and fits the older PE170 base.
Sunset times change through the year: summer sunsets are late, winter sunsets are early. Time-delay photoelectric switches turn on at sunset, but their off time shifts with the seasons. A 6-hour delay cuts lights at 1 am in summer but 11 pm in winter — two different times for the same setting. This forces manual adjustment twice a year. The PE170R2 lets you set one fixed off time (e.g. 1 am every night) and adjust the light-level trigger separately. This way, lights cut off at the same time all year, and manual adjustment becomes unnecessary.
Electricians choose the PE170R2 for retrofit work because it fits the old PE170 base without rewiring. The dial adjustment is simple: no complex codes, no torch-flashing button sequences, no confusion with the older model. The non-volatile memory ensures the program survives power cuts, so you do not need repeat callouts to reprogram the lights. This means faster jobs and fewer callbacks.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: HPM PE170R2
Quick and simple to order. In stock - with a rapid response — PeterC
Wire it up and it just works. Now when I go outside at night, the front lights are on. It's as simple as that — Doug Biggs
(PE170R2)
Conventional photoelectric switches work on a fixed time delay from sunset (e.g. "on at sunset, off 6 hours later"). As sunset times change with the seasons, the off time drifts: winter may cut lights at 11 pm, summer at 1 am. The PE170R2 lets you set a fixed off time (e.g. 1 am every night) and adjust the lux trigger independently, so the off time stays consistent all year.
It is rated for incandescent/halogen loads up to 2400 W, compact fluorescent up to 1000 VA, and LED up to 1000 W. Minimum load is 5 W, so low-power LED circuits are supported without ballast.
It is IP56 rated, which means it is splash-proof and suitable for exposed outdoor mounting. It is not fully submersible (IP67/68), so keep it out of standing water or high-pressure spray applications, but normal rain and spray on a wall or post installation are fine.
Yes. Non-volatile memory saves your off time and lux settings in the unit itself. If the mains supply is interrupted, the settings are restored automatically when power returns, so you do not need to reprogram after a blackout.
Yes. The PE170R2 head fits into the older PE170 surface mount base, so you can upgrade without rewiring the circuit or replacing the wall-mounted enclosure. The connection terminals and mounting are compatible.
