Photocell/Bulkhead problem

Nov 10, 2009 1 Replies

I bought the 100W Bulkhead with photocell, code 83449 from toolstation.co.uk. Fitted no problem, but as it goes dark in the alleyway the light flickers for over 1 hour before fully going on. Is their a problem with the photocell, do I need a special bulb(they suggest 100W GLS BC lamp), that will just go on/off ?/



Any ideas



Thanks.

There are surprisingly large differences in electrical practices across the pond, and even language is significantly different. Like I don't know what a "Bulkhead" is.
