The Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 is a precise and energy-efficient modular light-dependent relay designed to switch lighting according to the measured ambient light level. Part of the Finder 11 Series, this twilight switch incorporates Finder’s Zero Hysteresis technology for accurate lighting control without unnecessary operating time.
Unlike conventional twilight switches that use different switch-on and switch-off thresholds, the Zero Hysteresis design switches the lighting at the same selected light level. This prevents lamps from remaining switched on longer than necessary as daylight increases, helping reduce electricity consumption across commercial, industrial and public lighting installations.
Operating from a 230 V AC supply, the Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 provides a single changeover contact rated at 16 A. Two selectable sensitivity ranges, covering 1–80 lx and 30–1,000 lx, support applications ranging from night-time exterior lighting to installations requiring operation at higher ambient light levels.
Light-dependent relays use an external photosensor to monitor ambient illumination and operate connected lighting when the selected threshold is reached. This provides automatic lighting control based on actual environmental conditions instead of relying solely on fixed schedules or manual switching.
Finder’s Zero Hysteresis technology allows the 11.41 to switch lighting on and off at the same ambient light threshold. Combined with its separate switch-on and switch-off delays, this provides accurate control while preventing vehicle headlights, lightning, temporary shadows and other brief light changes from causing unwanted switching.

This light-dependent relay automatically controls connected lighting according to the ambient illumination measured by an external photosensor.
Finder’s Zero Hysteresis technology switches the lighting on and off at the same selected light level, helping prevent lamps from remaining illuminated longer than necessary.
The relay provides two adjustable ranges: 1–80 lx for standard applications and 30–1,000 lx for operation at higher ambient light levels.
The Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 provides one changeover contact rated at 16 A and 250 V AC, with a maximum AC1 switching capacity of 4,000 VA.
The relay should be installed on a 35 mm DIN rail inside a protected electrical panel, with the external photosensor positioned away from light emitted by the lamps being controlled.
Finder 11 Series light-dependent relays provide precise and dependable automatic lighting control, with the 11.41 combining wide-range light adjustment and Zero Hysteresis technology to support energy-efficient installations.{ "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Product", "name": "Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 Zero Hysteresis Light-Dependent Relay 230 V AC", "sku": "11.41.8.230.0000", "mpn": "11.41.8.230.0000", "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "Finder" }, "category": "Light-Dependent Relays", "description": "Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 is a 230 V AC modular light-dependent relay with Zero Hysteresis control, a 16 A changeover contact and adjustable sensitivity from 1 to 1,000 lx.", "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "Supply voltage", "value": "230 V AC" }, { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "Contact configuration", "value": "1 changeover contact" }, { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "Rated contact current", "value": "16 A" }, { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "Sensitivity ranges", "value": "1–80 lx and 30–1,000 lx" }, { "@type": "PropertyValue", "name": "Protection rating", "value": "IP20" } ] } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "inLanguage": "en-GB", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 used for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "This light-dependent relay automatically controls connected lighting according to the ambient illumination measured by an external photosensor." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is Zero Hysteresis lighting control?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Finder’s Zero Hysteresis technology switches the lighting on and off at the same selected light level, helping prevent lamps from remaining illuminated longer than necessary." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What sensitivity ranges are available?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The relay provides two adjustable ranges: 1–80 lx for standard applications and 30–1,000 lx for operation at higher ambient light levels." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the output contact rating?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The Finder 11.41.8.230.0000 provides one changeover contact rated at 16 A and 250 V AC, with a maximum AC1 switching capacity of 4,000 VA." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Where should the Finder 11.41 be installed?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The relay should be installed on a 35 mm DIN rail inside a protected electrical panel, with the external photosensor positioned away from light emitted by the lamps being controlled." } } ] }
