An assembly for connecting and holding a photocontrol with respect to a light fixture. The assembly includes a support member and a photocontrol receptacle over and secured with respect to the support member. The support member is on an exterior surface of a light-fixture housing at an opening formed in the housing. The photocontrol receptacle is rotatable about the support member for angular photocontrol adjustment on the light fixture. The support member is fixed with respect to the exterior surface of the light-fixture housing. The receptacle has an engagement portion rotatably engaging the support member, thereby holding the receptacle with respect to the light-fixture housing while permitting rotation of the receptacle with respect thereto. Another aspect is a related method for connecting and holding a photocontrol with respect to a light fixture.
