Milbank K5413 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milbank K5413 photocontrol kit work on a 120V lamp post circuit?
Yes. The K5413 photo electric control kit is built for 120 volts AC and single pole switching, which is the standard configuration for a residential or commercial lamp post circuit fed from a 120V branch. Single pole means it breaks the hot leg only, so the neutral runs straight through to the fixture. If your post light is fed at 240V or is part of a two-pole circuit, this is not the right control.
2) Is the Milbank K5413 photocell OK to mount outdoors on a post?
It comes in a non-metallic enclosure, which is what you want on an outdoor post: no corrosion at the mounting point and no galvanic issue against an aluminum or fiberglass post. A photocontrol has to see the sky to work, so mount it where the sensor faces north (in the northern hemisphere) and away from the light it controls, or the lamp's own output will cycle it off and on all night.
3) How much room do I need to fit the Milbank K5413 control kit?
Plan on a footprint of 7 inches by 5 inches with a 0.5 inch depth. That flat half-inch profile is what lets it tuck into a post base or against a meter socket wall without standing off the surface. Confirm your post cavity or mounting plate clears 7 by 5 before you cut anything.
4) Can I use the Milbank K5413 to add dusk-to-dawn control to a meter socket installation?
That is exactly where it belongs. The K5413 is classed as a metering accessory, sold under Milbank's RVAC family, and it is the part a utility contractor adds when a yard light or post light needs to switch automatically off a metered service. It handles the nighttime on, daytime off function on a single pole at 120V.
5) Do I need a timer if I install a Milbank K5413 photo electric control?
No. A photocontrol and a time clock solve the same problem two different ways. The K5413 senses ambient light and switches the lamp on at dusk and off at dawn on its own, so it tracks the seasons with no reprogramming. A timer is the better choice only when you want the light off at a fixed hour, say midnight, rather than running until sunrise. Some jobs use both in series for that reason.
6) What is the exact part number for the Milbank photo electric control kit?
Order it as Milbank K5413. That is the single model this kit ships as, a 120V AC single pole photo electric control for lamp post applications. The UNSPSC code for procurement systems is 39122238.
