Why Choose the Finder 10.41.8.230.0000 Light-Dependent Relay?
The Finder 10.41.8.230.0000 is a reliable light-dependent relay designed to control exterior lighting automatically according to the ambient brightness level. As part of the Finder 10 Series, it combines an integrated photosensor, adjustable light threshold and a normally open switching contact within a durable wall or pole-mounted enclosure.
The adjustable sensitivity range of 1–80 lx enables the switching threshold to be configured for different locations and lighting requirements. An integrated status LED assists with testing and threshold adjustment, while switch-on and switch-off delays help prevent unwanted operation caused by temporary shadows or passing vehicle headlights.
The Finder 10.41.8.230.0000 operates from a 230 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz supply and provides one normally open contact rated at 16 A. Its IP54 enclosure, −30 to +70 °C operating range and light feedback compensation support dependable outdoor 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 10.41 includes an integral sensor and switching delays that help prevent temporary shadows, passing headlights or other short-lived changes from causing unnecessary switching.
Finder’s light feedback compensation system helps reduce the influence of the controlled lamps on the sensor reading. This supports stable switching and prevents repeated cycling when the light produced by the connected lamps reaches the relay’s integrated photosensor.
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.
