Easy installation
Timeguard seems to have this
covered. Full size wiring terminals
that are easy to terminate your cables
into and a cover with captive screws,

luminaires on the circuit. Even the
“easy-hang” wall brackets all add up to
simplicity for the installer.
Flexibility and extendibility
Here perhaps is the smartest touch
of all. Simply “swap” the standard
terminal cover for a Timeguard

or photocell, plug it in - no extra
wiring needed - and you’ve instantly
got an automatic security light. It
really is that simple! There’s also a
fourth terminal in the wiring block to
simply connect other lighting and also

ou can always rely on Timeguard to come up with an original idea and this year they’re taking driverless
LED technology to new levels of design, functionality and, for installers, easy installation. It all adds up
