Minor variations in natural light, such as decur at dawn and dusk, are controlled by the circult to prevent too frequent alternating action of the switches. The relays can be set to act at any desired degree of daylight.

Each monitoring unit comes into action at a different de- gree of daylight, and each controls one-third of the arti- ficial lighting available. As daylight fades, first, one, then a second and finally the last section of the interior lighting is brought into use. Consequently the light on the hangar floor, where work is in progress, re- maine virtually ́constant, and wastage of current is eliminated.
