Why Choose the ABB TL1 POLE Twilight Switch?
The ABB TL1 POLE is a robust pole- and wall-mounted twilight switch with an integrated light sensor designed to control outdoor lighting automatically according to ambient light levels. As part of the ABB TL Line twilight switch range, it provides reliable dusk-to-dawn switching for public, commercial and residential exterior lighting applications.
The TL1 POLE monitors surrounding light levels and automatically operates its relay when the selected brightness threshold is reached. Its adjustable 2–200 lx brightness range allows the switching threshold to be matched to the installation, while a factory preset of approximately 10 lx provides a practical starting point for typical outdoor lighting applications.
Designed for direct pole or wall mounting, the TL1 POLE incorporates photocell inputs, integrated cabling and cable-gland seals for dependable outdoor use. It operates from a 110–230 V AC, 50/60 Hz supply and provides a 1NO polarised relay contact rated at 16 A, 250 V AC, making it suitable for automatically controlling a broad range of exterior lighting systems.

Automatic Outdoor Lighting Control
The ABB TL1 POLE detects changes in natural ambient light and automatically switches connected lighting when the selected threshold is crossed. This eliminates the need for manual switching and allows outdoor lighting to respond naturally to changing daylight conditions throughout the year.
Built-in switch-on and switch-off delays help prevent temporary changes in light, such as passing vehicle headlights or brief shadows, from causing unnecessary switching. Its pole- and wall-mounting design makes the TL1 POLE particularly suitable for outdoor installations where the light sensor needs direct exposure to ambient daylight.
Typical Applications
- Public and private road lighting.
- Street and pathway lighting.
- Garden and landscape lighting.
- Courtyard and car park lighting.
- Commercial building exterior lighting.
- Security and perimeter lighting.
- Outdoor lighting requiring automatic dusk-to-dawn operation.
