Can a set of 2 post lamps that both turn on with the same switch be wired to 1 motion detector or will I need 2 sparate units?

Yes, you can, but you need wired the output of this switch to both post lamp.

Yes, Kathie, it would be possible to use one, provided both lights are on the same lamp post and I would suggest having a professional wire it in. Mine works like a charm and is the best security light I have found.

Sorry, I returned these without installing because of sloppy sealing around the lens.

We bought 2, one for each post and ours is wired the same with one switch. They are still working great!

I believe the answer is yes. And if for some reason you feel the light is inadequate, just use two.

You might have motion detection issues if the lamp is behind a white-frosted glass cover, but I have no way of testing. I mounted mine in a recessed can-style porch fixture though, by using an adapter - the kind that adds two outlets to a light socket, with a chain pull switch (which I leave on for this application).

YES,You have to use the same power source for both.Run a three -wire between motion detectors.Leave The detectors on test.Hook the switch-leg to a 120 volt to 12 volt transfomer.Hook The 12 volt side of transformer to a 12 volt buzzer.By leaving on test the buzzer will sound when there is motion and go off when motion stops.

The switch itself is only a single pole switch, but because it is an occupancy sensor, depending on the wiring of the three way, it is possible to use two switches in the loop. But the wiring is the key. By the way, the motion sensors do not work well with the new electronic ballasts or compact fluorescents. The package says rapid start ballasts only. We have been changing the old ballasts to electronic ballasts to take care of the lamps that are part of the federal energy bill.

The item I bought has the motion detector with it, now if you are wanting to add another one I don't know if you can do it with this one without purchasing another unit. Hope this helps!

That depends on the circuitry of the light. They did not perform well with the 10 watt LEDs as the bleed through was enough to cause the LED light to pulse. I had my best luck with the Hubbell motion detectors. Direct wire, no problems. While they are almost twice the price, they function well where all the others failed. I spent more money trying to find one that worked.

If it's within 20 ft. , one remote will control both lights. LIght source isn't very bright. I had to place 4 in my closet (8' x 3') to see clearly. Switch battery (23AE, 12V) also burns out quickly.

Yes, this can be used for one light circuit. I have two lamps on one circuit and it works just fine. I plan to add another two lamp circuit on another wall later.

Yes, One is enough... Make sure you tap the end where it connects to battery. The Led wire come apart...

Yes. Either as independent or slaved. By wiring you can dictate one sensor or both. Instructions are in the package. I have two slaved so either sensor triggers both.

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

You would need to set each switch at a different frequency; this is an issue that my husband investigated before installing our switches. You may know already but you can only use one switch per lighting series.

Yes. The unit is just a switch. I use CFLs in outdoor lights controlled by this motion sensor and it works well.

NO , sorry you will have to push 2 buttons. You could, if you really wanted to, wire the two lamps together. Also note these are too big to use 2 on one outlet , you have to use a power strip. These are well made and work very well. I have 6 , one by itself, 5 on one remote (5 buttons) sitting next to my recliner and I love them. Hope this helps.

Two post are for the switched circuit top post is for ground (earth). So th light will have completed circuit and can light.

Like David Ishmael said, wire them in parallel. I have two of these connected to one light and it works as expected. Be prepared for a bit of work to get these in and looking good. I think the time and effort was worth it.
