AcRo Mini Bollard Photocell

The AcRo Mini Bollard photocell has been specially developed for use in bollard lighting in urban areas.

A robust design – which includes a unique fully encapsulated light sensor and electronic circuitry – ensures that the mini photocell is impervious to moisture.

With a 15-year design life, it’s both reliable and energy efficient. And its sensor window is designed to survive all types of outdoor conditions.

A Mini Photocell Developed from State-of-the-art Technology

An infrared-biased light sensor, a blue tinted lens and microprocessor control combine in the AcRo Mini Bollard photocell: this innovation eliminates cycling at switch-on in bollard installations.

And with high accuracy ultraviolet light detection on board, the AcRo Mini Bollard photocell eliminates spurious light switching caused by artificial light – making it ideal for use in street illuminated bollards, advertising and sign lighting in our towns and cities.
