Is this suitable to control a fluoresent overhead light?

This switch works with a fluorescent overhead light fixture that uses a balast (i.e. four ft fluorescent ceiling fixture in a garage or laundry room)I expect it will not work for CFL bulb that is not designed for use with dimmers.

Yes, I have used this switch for three separate overhead fluorescent lights. I plan to use this switch for the rest of them.

Yes, it's a normal switch except that it has a light inside the rocker switch. It isn't a dimmer, though. It's just an on-off switch that you can find in the dark.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want. I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

I am successfully using the item in question to power indandescent bulbs and it works fine. I suspect it would work well with halogen bulbs too but have no personal experinece with halogens. Do not try to use compact fluorescents which are designed to operate at steady full power in the most completely uninterrupted fashion possible. The Hemco device is a power regulating device. It will destroy CFBs or self destruct.

Yes it could. Cut it off and wire to switch. Be sure to connect positive wire to switch. I have my lights in the ceiling of my deck and have them plugged into a timer.

Yes, it should, as long as the power supply is rated for 120 Volts/60 Hertz. This occupancy sensor has a relay switch which completely turns off the power in the off state. Unlike electronic switches, there is no leaking current that could cause fluorescent or LED lights to light up dimly.

Yes, I gave been using it to control 4 outdoor cfl lights for 2-3 years with no problem.

After talking with Lutron a couple times about our project, based on our requirements, we purchased the MRF2-F6AN-DV-WH Maestro Wireless Fluorescent Dimmer. We wanted to adjust our lighting to a specific point and keep it at that point..so we mounted this dimmer, along with the power supply, above the ceiling. Has worked out well since last Fall.

Yes...it's a goofy light. Does what you said which is not by design. I had it outside for security but it didn't work as described. It's in my garage and for some reason works and then doesn't work. If I could grab the engineer by the throat and have him explain why this doesn't work...I'd be happy.

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

yeah it should work nicely. i use it in a recessed metal fixture on our garage overhang and plug the christmas icicle lights with an adapter. i can turn them on from inside my cozy house instead of walking into the cold garage to flip the switch.

Yes it works on 110 volts , I used it to control my living room overhead lights , and works great !

I used to control a contactor/relay that controlled the lights. I did not use in it in the direct wiring of the lights.

Seems like it SHOULD work as long as the build is protected in water tight enclosure. It is not a bright as a regular incandescent, but it is cooler and should be bright enoughespecially for dim lighting conditions. Don't drop the remote control in the water.

I would NOT NOT NOT recommend this - I use this with fluorescent lights and it missed over half of the start / stop times which are extremely important... Unless you are going to be around each day/night you want these to turn on and make sure they turn on and off at the proper times, I would NOT buy this... I actually use an old school one where you have to push the little button in on the side to tell it when to turn on and off and I havent have one problem yet... This is an instance in where technology is not better.

Also be aware that it may not work with higher wattage bulbs: 150, 200, etc. This is designed for lower watt bulbs, so florescent would be the optimal choice.
