The objective is to use the outlet on the lamp post primarily for Christmas lighting. I understand wiring of the photocell. See http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080522183910AAiOa0j

  1. If the outlet is in the post and wired already, all you really have to do is remove the black wire from the outlet and run it to the black wire of the lamp socket.  This will probably work fine for christmas lighting if you don't draw more current than the photocell is rated for.  You could have problems plugging other things in there as the photocell will drop some voltage.


  2. photocel is like a censor on the top  basically if lite will go off if dark will go on
