I have a situation where I need to switch (2) LED outdoor flood lights using a Intermatic K4223K photo cell. The lights were installed at a military installation for a road sign. The lights are several hundred feet away from the power source and they are fed from the last (closest light pole) then to the sign.
Normally I would install a contactor with an eye but this will prove to be very difficult.
The fixtures are on bell boxs mounted to concrete.
Between the 2 fixtures is an in-ground junction box where everything terminates.
My question is since I can not locate a double pole photo cell can I switch the LED's by using the photo cell to switch one side of each fixture.
Even if it is legal I do not like swiching only one leg of 240 volts. I know it has been switched but someone else may not and that would be a major problem. Everything will be labeled but can I switch one leg and be legal?
Thank You
