Micatron Dimming Switch for use with Fluorescent Lamps

In operation, the Dimming Switch will sense the photocell switching at dusk and dawn. It will remember the length of night over sequential dusk/dawn switchings and use this data to perform a part night dimming routine (for example; Dusk on, 22.00hrs dim to any desired level to 05.30 then revert back to full output & finally at Dawn switch off). Also automatic B.S.T. TO G.M.T. changeover function built in.
