I'm trying to install this switch in my kitchen with the older style flourescent bulbs (not T8 or T12) just 34W 4ft thicker bulbs. Is this my problem

Shouldn't matter. We put it in bathroom with mixed regular bulbs and CFL's. It works perfectly. Tried other more expensive brands that did not work.

I don't really know but a switch is a switch I have them all over most if my house

Yes! There is never a problem going with lower wattage in a fixture, higher wattage would be a concern. I have this in the light over our kithchen table totally enclosed in a glass cover and no problem, just as bright if not brighter then the 75W incandesent it replaced.

Yes, but CFL worked better for me on this fixture. I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T40144-4 (4 Pack) - 23-Watt (100W) Spiral Medium Base Natural Daylight (5000K) CFL Light Bulbs, 4 PACK

Can't say for certain about this particular ballast, but my experience with other fluorescent fixtures is that F34 bulbs will work in place of F40 bulbs. Just be sure you are using T12 (1-1/2" diameter) bulbs and not a T8.

Yes. T9 is the size. Any T9 bulb will work. The 2700K that you state is the white-ness / yellow-ness of the light.The 32W that you state means that your existing bulb consumes 32 Watts of electricity. This product consumes just about the same at 30 Watts, so it will work fine. You wouldn't want to overload your existing light fixture with too many Watts, so equal Wattage or a little lower will be fine.

If I put higher watt bulbs in I get more light... its not like the florescent I had, really bright light. I like the "look" of the lights, I am still working on the watt bulbs to be using. Right now I have two outer higher watt, and the center less. Will probably be changing around until I get the adjustment I like. Its not a direct bright light.

I have six of these lights on my house so I had to figure this out sooner or later. Manual says its a 100 watt halogen 78mm T-type bulb. What that converts to is 78mm, 3.070 inches or 3-1/8 inch double ended halogen bulb. I just order my bulbs at 1000bulbs.com

Hello I'm using an older model installed around the 90s.I bought these new bulbs thinking that there wouldn't be a problem, turns out I was wrong.Sorry I can't help you though

As long as the ampacity isn't higher than about 15 amps, you're good to go. Ampacity is solved by dividing wattage of bulbs (combined) divided by the voltage (120 Volts). If you're using CFLs... it is quite a few to even come close to 15 amps. The long and short, you could connect around 70, 23 watt CFLs, or 15 traditional 100 watt incandescent light bulbs. In my case, I have six, 23 watt CFLs controlled by this sensor/switch. Hope this helps!

This is a more complex problem than it would seem. I tend to use overkill when sizing wire to a given load. In addition, a friend replaced all of my fixtures original quartz halogen bulbs with LED's that draw less current. And generally speaking, it is not just the load in amperes, but the length of the wire run in feet that determines the wire gauge needed. I would suggest that you employ someone with knowledge in electronics to size and determine your layout. This is especially true if your layout is complex and heavily loaded. I wish I could be of more help, but I have to hire an electrician. Good luck!

Hello, dear friend, the 3W and 4W ceiling lights are with the same cut-out (68mm). If there is anything else we can do for you, please just feel free to tell us. It is our great honor to serve you. Best regards, lemonbest

Hi Joanne, I too ended up at Home Depot to try to get the right bulb & they no longer offered a replacement bulb for the lamp I bought there, so I rewired the fixture to accept a CFL. I have two of these bulbs & would be happy to ship them to you so you can try them. If they fit your application, send me something neat for Christmas & we're square. If they don't fit, you can donate them to the Goodwill, or ??? Thanks & Best Wishes, John

we had the same problem - just a hair too long for where it needed to go. wound up cleaning the old one well, and discovered it still worked! still is! the #s on both bulbs were the same. I don't get it.

I think that question has more to do with the switch/bulb. These are hard-wired.

I purchased for the same reason, but I was under the assumption that both switches were dimmer switches -- they're not! One is a dimmer switch and one is a 3-stage switch meant for a ceiling fan. I ended up not installing it, as I needed side-by-side dimmer switches that would work with low-voltage LED bulbs.

Yes they should have no problem with the bulbs its actually the power source u need to worry about.....my house front door light switch is connected to the garage so when i install mine it did not last very long the switch died in about 3 months..... just make sure whatever switch you want to change with the honeywell make sure it is not sharing power source otherwise it works wonderful... my sister has the older version and it has been working for her 2yrs in counting.... gook luck

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like. I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb. If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.
