Overview
Built for hunters who want a simple way to keep a feeding schedule on track, this kit uses a light-triggered photo cell to dispense feed at dawn and dusk. The adjustable 1–30 second feeding duration lets you tailor each cycle to your setup, while the fully enclosed, gasket-sealed housing is designed for weather-resistant use. A powder-coated, galvanized steel case and galvanized steel spinner plate add a durable construction profile, and it can run on a 6V battery or a solar panel, both sold separately.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a 6V battery or solar panel, and neither is included, so power setup needs to be planned separately.
- Feeding is tied to light exposure, so the schedule is fixed to dawn and dusk rather than fully programmable times.
- The 1–30 second feeding duration is adjustable, but it still offers a limited control range compared with more advanced feeder systems.
- Weather-resistant housing helps protect the unit, but it is still an electronic feeder and should be installed with that in mind.
