A light-operated control device including a spherical housing mounted on a second housing for universal swiveling movement relative thereto. An arm extending out from the second housing overlies the sphere and is clamped thereagainst to secure the sphere in any selected position. A photocell mounted in the sphere has a light-sensitive side which faces out through an aperture in a side of the sphere. A light-channeling passage having deflector surfaces along its sides extends between the aperture and the light-sensitive side of the photocell. This passage inhibits ambient light from striking the photocell. The photocell is connected to control circuitry in the second housing by elongated flexible conductors which permit free swiveling of the sphere.
