Does this switch require special wiring? IE, does it need a neutral or hot wire unrelated to the two wires being switched for the light?

If your house does not have a neutral wire it is very old or need rewiring anyway. You need to 2474 not the 2477. "Amazon Customer" is wrong.

No special bulbs needed. I used the same ones that were in the old housing. The 2 orange bulbs I never got. I got some small bulbs that are attached to some wires, but I did not wire that up. I think those are for the signal, or something. The lights, signal, brake light and hazards all work fine. It's a straight plug and play. Shouldn't take more than 10 min or so to install.

There in normally no neutral on a standard light switch. Just hot and load. If you are luck there will also be a bare ground wire (often cut back so you will have to extend it). You can use the (extended) ground wire for both the neutral and ground connections on the sensor. As long as the circuit is not GFI protected then it works nicely. No adjustments required. Give it a minute to warm up. Try pressing the button once. The red light normally indicates it detected motion.

You must remove the ballast and wire the hot and neutral directly to one of the sockets. The other end gets the wires removed.

We have a two way switch, one for fan and one for light which is on a dimmer. You don't need anything special.

This is a three way switch and it wires no differently than other three way switches. You would be only be wiring hot (black), traveler (red) and ground (bare) to the switch.... The neutral (white) would not be involved with the switch. Not sure if that answers your question. Please study wiring carefully or use an electrician if you are unsure of how to install these.

You have to wire it. I used the plug out of my old one. Also, construction is very thin, and you have to use your own bulbs, and mine came slightly damaged from shipping. Good thing is that it rapid starts.

Yes it does need neutral. This switch is awesome. Have two. Works very nice. Easy to wire. Deep box is best.

This is not a stand alone switch. It must be wired into the circuit containing the fixture to be controlled (i.e. traveler, neutral and ground).

I didn't get a switch or wire with my single 4" square. But then again I mounted it under the back and wired it directly into my trailer plug as a reverse light. Hope this helped.

Yes, it requires a neutral wire, and the Product Description should really state that clearly. I do not have a neutral wire and did not find out that I had the wrong product until I saw the package.

I grounded my switch to the box and it works perfectly. I don't have ground wires either. You do need a neutral wire.

No. It wires like any other switch or dimmer. It interrupts the hot, and the neutral and ground (if any) remain untouched within the box.

I have one connected to a standard switch and another one is hooked up to a switch with 3 switches; one for each part the fan, the light and the night light. But the second switch needed upgraded wiring.

This light fixture will have to be connected to an existing switch or a new installation will be required. It is only the light fixture itself.

You will need to hard wire it like a ceiling fan, not a standard power cord that plugs into the wall. You wil also need to mount it like a ceiling fan so replacing an existing light helps. No switch, controlled by a wall on/off switch. Chain and wires are included.

It's been awhile since I wired mine up, but I believe that the black wire goes to the incoming hot, the red goes to the load for the light, and the white goes to neutral. If you only have one romex wire in your switch box, then whoever wired your house took one of the common residential electrical shortcuts and you only have the incoming hot, and the load to the light. this switch requires that you have the neutral also, so in order to use it, you will have to figure out how to get the neutral into your switch box.
