Review: Good unit - Easy setup,and works perfectly Review: Discreet, reliable and east to install - I've bought a few of these over the years for various outdoor lights around our house. They are really easy to install and adjust, and work exactly as intended. Our original sensor from two years ago is still going strong. I did try the upgraded 3000 model, but I found the 2000 model much more simple to use as it allows you to override the lights and turn them off without it messing up any learning function (as the 3000 model has). It also means when you turn the lights back on, the sensor hasn't reset and just works. If you never need to overide the light you can just leave them switched on safe in the knowledge that they will come on at night and go off in the morning. Super useful. If you are using this to replace an existing dusk to dawn sensor, you will find this super easy to install. If you are installing the sensor to an existing light circuit, you will need to have some electrical knowledge or get a professional in. ## Features - Photo-electric lighting controller Nightmatic 2000 provides automatic night-time lighting for building facades as well as for premises, gardens and other spaces - The dusk till dawn sensor detects ambient brightness - Automatically switches connected lights ON when light levels fall to twilight threshold and OFF again at dawn - Time and twilight threshold can be adjusted to any chosen setting - Reliable whether it's raining, snowing, blowing a gale or you simply have something better to do - Photocell light switch suitable for wall mounting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OBZYZQ | | Actuator Type | Push Button | | Best Sellers Rank | 198,828 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 443 in Motion Detectors (DIY & Tools) | | Brand | STEINEL | | Circuit Type | 1-way | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Lights, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connector Type | Clip | | Connector type | Clip | | Contact Material | Metal | | Contact Type | Normally Open | | Contact type | Normally Open | | Control Method | Sensor | | Control Type | Automatic | | Controller Type | Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,139 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04007841550318 | | Included Components | Manual, Twilight Switch | | International Protection Rating | IP54 | | Item Dimensions | 37 x 74 x 99 millimetres | | Item Type Name | Twilight Switch | | Item Weight | 0.12 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Steinel | | Manufacturer Part Number | 550318 | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 550318 | | Mounting Type | Wall Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating Voltage | 230 Volts | | Operating voltage | 230 Volts | | Operation Mode | ON-OFF | | Operation mode | ON-OFF | | Specification Met | Unspecified Industry Standards | | Switch Type | Push Button | | Switch type | Push Button | | Terminal | Screw | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STEINEL - **Circuit type:** 1-way - **Connector type:** Clip - **Contact type:** Normally Open - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 37 x 74 x 99 millimetres - **Material:** Plastic - **Operating voltage:** 230 Volts - **Operation mode:** ON-OFF - **Switch type:** Push Button - **Terminal:** Screw ## Images ![Twilight Switch NightMatic 2000 Black, Photoelectric Lighting Controller, Automatic Night-Time Lighting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911mL49avqL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many LEDs can be connected to the twilight sensor?** A: The Nightmatic 2000 is suitable for connecting up to 50 LEDs/max. 250 W LED or for classic light bulbs with a total switching load of max. 1000 W.

Easy to set up and great performance (i.e. Sensitivity & coverage). Rather more expensive, compared to other products available - hence 4-star rating - but needed as replacement of near identical unit that developed a fault (albeit 10 years old) to ensure same fixings and wiring configuration. ## Frequently Bought Together - Steinel Twilight Switch NightMatic 2000 Black, Photoelectric Lighting Controller, Automatic Night-Time Lighting - Luceco Eco Exterior Decorative Wedge LED Wall Light, 11 x 9.5 x 5 cm, 3 Watts, Grey Slate, Black, LEXD3WDG3-01 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48690792-twilight-switch-nightmatic-2000-black-photoelectric-lighting-controller-automatic-night](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48690792-twilight-switch-nightmatic-2000-black-photoelectric-lighting-controller-automatic-night) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
