When to use dusk-to-dawn vs. wall pack vs. area light?

Application Best Fixture Type Why
Perimeter security (residential/light commercial) Dusk to Dawn (DB-E) Integrated photocell, wide beam, pole-mountable
Building wall — security/egress Wall Pack (WPF/WMFT) Higher wattage range, full cutoff options, emergency backup available
Parking lot / large area Area Light (JSAL-G2) Controlled distribution (Type III/IV/V), higher output, pole mount
Barn / yard / entry (simple on/off) Dusk to Dawn (DB-E or D2D) Self-contained, no controls wiring, photocell included

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dusk-to-dawn light and how does it work?
A dusk-to-dawn light includes an integrated photocell that automatically turns the fixture on at sunset and off at sunrise — no timer, switch, or separate sensor required. The Jarvis DB-E Series uses a twist-lock photocell that senses ambient light levels. The fixture operates every night on a natural schedule without manual intervention or programming.
What wattage LED dusk-to-dawn replaces a 150W HPS security light?
A 150W HPS security light draws approximately 190W including ballast. The Jarvis DB-E at 65W provides comparable illumination at roughly 66% less energy. The DB-E's selectable wattage (45W/65W) allows field adjustment to match the site's brightness requirements.
Can I pole-mount a Jarvis dusk-to-dawn light?
Yes. The Jarvis DB-E Series can be ordered with an optional pole mounting arm that attaches to standard round or square poles. This makes it suitable for driveway entries, farm/ranch perimeters, and small commercial lots where a dedicated area light pole is not justified.
What is the difference between a dusk-to-dawn light and a wall pack with photocell?
A dusk-to-dawn fixture (Jarvis DB-E) is a self-contained unit with an integrated photocell — designed for wide-area illumination from a wall or pole mount. A wall pack with photocell (Jarvis WMFT or WPF with photocell option) is designed specifically for building-mounted applications with controlled light distribution (full cutoff or forward throw). Wall packs offer higher wattage ranges (up to 120W), dark-sky compliance options, and emergency backup — features dusk-to-dawn fixtures typically don't include.
