What do you mean "with voltage free contacs" ?

Please read this article first, then give us more information about your photocell project.

Simply wire the photo cell to the coil of a "ice cube" relay and use the contacts on the relay for your "dry" contacts. Just make sure you match photocell/V to coil/V.
