This SPECLITE shorting cap is engineered to provide a reliable electrical bridge across the twist-lock 3-pin photocell receptacle, effectively completing the circuit without the need for a photocell sensor. It is rated for use with lighting systems operating from 0 to 480VAC, covering the full spectrum of standard North American residential and commercial voltage configurations. The cap ensures a consistent, low-resistance connection that won't interfere with the performance of your LED driver or other fixture electronics.
Constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials, this shorting cap is designed to withstand the same outdoor conditions as the fixtures it serves. The housing provides protection against moisture ingress, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations common in the Canadian climate — from summer heat to harsh winter cold. Its robust build ensures long-term reliability so you won't need to worry about corrosion or degraded connections over time.
This product is cUL/CSA approved, meaning it has been tested and certified to meet rigorous Canadian electrical safety standards. Whether you're a homeowner tackling a weekend project or a contractor completing a larger installation, you can trust that this accessory meets all applicable regulatory requirements for safe use in both residential and commercial environments across every Canadian province and territory.
From an installation standpoint, no tools or additional wiring are required. Simply remove the existing photocell from the twist-lock receptacle and insert the shorting cap with a quarter turn until it locks securely into place. This makes it an ideal solution during fixture upgrades, when switching from automatic photocell control to manual switch operation, or when temporarily sealing an open photocell socket to maintain the fixture's weather integrity. It's a straightforward, code-compliant accessory that belongs in every lighting maintenance toolkit.
