In this coach light fixture, it has a photo cell only 7/16 inch thick is barely wider than its quarter inch threaded ‘eye’ that sticks through the fixture base, that’s all the room we have to work with
The house side of the hole for the photocell is 1/8” inch close to the brick just inside the texture base
The manufacturer quit making parts 10 years ago. The brand of photo cell is capital RU us. But the two capital letters are backwards. Model number PC – 001.
The smallest photo cell we found is three-quarter inch thick. Any ideas? Thank you.
 
Put the photo cell (standard size) elsewhere... pick up the switch leg somewhere.
Just, for gosh sakes, plse try to run the intercepted leg over the panel or something... where 20yrs from now, another electrician can see the thing..
