Why Choose the Finder 10.32.8.230.0000 Light-Dependent Relay?
The Finder 10.32.8.230.0000 is a robust and dependable light-dependent relay designed to control outdoor lighting automatically according to the ambient brightness level. As part of the Finder 10 Series, it combines an integrated photosensor, adjustable light threshold and two normally open output contacts within a weather-resistant enclosure.
The relay provides double-pole switching, allowing both the live and neutral conductors of a connected lighting circuit to be switched. Its adjustable sensitivity range of 1–80 lx enables the operating threshold to be configured for different locations, while the factory-preset threshold is 10 lx.
Designed for wall or pole mounting, the 10.32.8.230.0000 operates from a 230 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz supply and provides two normally open contacts rated at 16 A. Its IP54 enclosure, −30 to +70 °C operating range and integrated light feedback compensation support reliable exterior lighting control.

Reliable Automatic Control for Outdoor Lighting
Light-dependent relays monitor natural light and operate connected lamps when the measured brightness crosses a configured threshold. The Finder 10.32 includes an integral sensor and switching delays that help prevent temporary shadows, passing headlights or other brief light changes from causing unnecessary switching.
Finder’s light feedback compensation system helps reduce the influence of the controlled lamps on the sensor reading. Double-pole operation also enables both live and neutral conductors to be switched, making the relay suitable for decentralised exterior lighting installations.
Typical Applications
- Street and public-area lighting.
- Car parks and access roads.
- Garden and landscape lighting.
- Building perimeter and security lighting.
- Shop windows and illuminated signs.
- Pathways, entrances and communal outdoor areas.
