Timer being feed by 14-3. Two loads going out. Customer doesn't want the timer anymore. He wants both loads to be on a photocell instead. Federal pacific panel FYI. One of the loads I have to protect with a GFCI. So it sounds like I'll need two photocells. Or do they make one that will turn on two loads? Will a GFCI work in this application? Or will it sense a imbalance. Both of these loads are lighting, if that matters. One is exterior, and one is landscape. Thank you for your help.
What to do?

Possibilities:
1. Photocell controls a 2-pole relay.
2. Both loads on a single circuit if possible.
3. Two photocells.
If the GFCI device is a receptacle, you should be okay.
