Yes. If your parking lot lighting is already controlled by a single photocell, you can bypass the individual photocells on each fixture by installing a shorting cap (also called a photocell bypass cap or receptacle cap). Shorting caps are available at most local electrical supply or hardware stores. If you prefer, give us a call and we'll be happy to provide shorting caps free of charge. This will allow all of your roadway lights to turn on and off together using your existing central photocell and contactor.
