Amazon.ca:Customer reviews: Aquascape 84039 Light Sensor Photocell with Digital Timer for Pond, Waterfall, Garden, and Landscape Features

Happy with it. I was looking for a replacement for the one which recently stopped working. That one just went on at dusk and off at daylight, which is all I really want, but they appear to have stopped making them, so had to buy this more expensive one with features I will never use. However, it is working well, and does what I require, so would recommend it.

Unit stopped working (would not turn off) after 2 months. Was not placed in direct sunlight but photocell seems to not be working.

Used for a light control in an Off Grid shed

I purchased this product for my off grid shed. I have exterior lights at the door that I wanted on at dusk. But, since this is off grid and my lights run off battery power, to turn off after a set amount of time instead of staying on all night. For the money this is the only thing I could find. Since its connections are proprietary to Aquascape, I cut the whip hanging off of it in half. I used the end that I cut off and plugged it back into the proprietary outlet left on the device. What I was left with was perfect for hardwiring the device in line with the lights. With a phone call and multiple emails to Aquascape to ask for technical help to determine the + and – terminals, they were on no help whatsoever and didn’t even reply to me. After trial and error I found when it’s wrong; it simply won’t work and show no signs of power. If it’s correct, the LED’s on it light. I put this inside my shed in a widow, so it’s out of the elements and should last a long time. It works great. For the price, and ease of installation, I’m not sure it can be beat (for my purposes). I’ve had this product only a short time, but it does exactly as is described. I would have given 5 stars if only the company would respond to my multiple support requests.

Best, most durable outdoor lighting products!

Plug and play. People rave about our nightscape and fountain lighting when visiting our home. I have found all aquascape products to be durable and bring an attractiveness to our home without spending a fortune to have professionals install landscape lighting. That's the best part about aquascape products. They are completely DIY. The lighting we bought are all LED, so they use very little electricity but produce very bright light. They also stand behind their products. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. I have tried. These products are workhorses, particularly in a 100% submerged application in our front yard fountain. I had one light out of a dozen that failed in 7 months and they promptly replaced it under warranty.

When your company comes across as the "authority" on all things pond and fountain, I guess you can get away with selling crap. Am I upset? Yes.
My husband and I installed an Aquascape three-pillar rock fountain in May of 2020. (The pictures I've included in my review here was taken when the lights actually worked at night and shut off during the day!)

I can't speak very highly of some of these Aquascape products as we have had a host of problems! We are on our SECOND photocell – which has now failed yet again. The lights now just stay on, no matter what setting I choose – 4 hour, 6 hour, Dusk to Dawn, etc.

And an Aquascape LED light which inserts into one of the rock pillars is now halfway shorted out and has started flickering. Guys, these lights are only 13 months old!! If anyone has installed their own fountain and lighting system, you know just how much of a pain it is to insert the lights into the hose and then the hose into each rock pillar. I AM NOT DOING THIS AGAIN!!! What a cheap and unreliable product!!!

I just bought some surface-mount exterior fountain lights from a very reputable landscape lighting company (they're not inexpensive by any means but they have very high customer ratings and I love their other products) and will hardwire them into my existing low voltage landscape system. I am DONE with Aquascape products!!

Great product for price, but one big drawback…

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2021

The control options are very limited, and unlike every other piece of Aquascape tech I own (pump controller, IonGen, Auto Dosing System), this controller CANNOT be concealed in any way. As a photocell controller, it has to be out in the open to detect light levels. Still experimenting with how/where to hide if possible, but no luck so far.
