| It is a photocell for something. They turn things on when it gets dark, usually lights. It could be on a switch or constantly powered. |

| Oh, thanks. It is probably what turns on the light on the post at the end of the driveway. |

| stick a piece of tape on it in the daytime and watch to see if the light comes on. It might take a few minutes but that should show you what it controls for certain. |

| Golly by gosh! Gotta love that dried out duct tape weather proofing - seen more often than not! |

| The box still gets wet inside, no matter how well you try to gasket and seal it. Condensation alone enures water is present. |
