    N93 W14594 Whittaker Way
    Menomonee Falls, WI   53051
    (262)255-9588
    For parts and advice call and ask for Rick Elleseg at (262)255-9588.
    Sensor: We have begun discussions directly with the manufacturer of the light sensors for advice.  The supplier is out of business.  Rick can get the parts direct from the manufacturer.
    Note: Rick said a better solution would be to place a photo sensor either at the garage weather tite box going to the lamp post or wire to a new box in the eave.  Then bypass the light post sensor switch.
