Same question above - does anyone know if two switches can be used with the same bulb from separate locations?

You can if these 2 requirements are fulfilled: 1) The switches must be within the range of the socket recommended by the manufacturer 2) Both switches must be the same channel designation. Channels are pre-programmed by the manufacturer, and I believe there are 4 or 5 possible channels. This will require you purchase 2 switch/socket units, and hope you get the same channel designations. You can also try to purchase from 2 different vendors hoping you will get the same channel. You could also increase the chances of getting 2 switches with the same channel by ordering 4 units and returning the ones you don't keep (the ones with different channel designations).

When I tried them each switch comes with apparently a different frequency combo. That is I had a pair of B and a pair of E, each set to a different frequemcy. The pair was the light connection and the coupled switch. Thus it was one on one. I did not see a way to reconfigure to do what I think you want. Notwithstanding the quality was poor and the switches were unreliable at best. Hope this helps.

yes. you have the choice of using both lights at the same time, or just one if you want too.

yes, I currently have four running on one switch. Check the mfg. website for specific limitations.

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

I do not know if that use is possible. If the light bulb is the same size and wattage it might work.

No, you want to use both. The two yellow wires on the bulb that has brown wires at the opposite end, and the two blue on the bulb that has red wires at the opposite end.

one switch handles each outer 2 bulbs, the other the inner 4 bulbs. It wont work if a bulb is missing from the series. I just leave all 8 on so the fish are happy. ;-)

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.

I would assume so. Though I don't have that exact setup I do have a multi-pole setup with one dimmer and 3 other on\off switches for a multi bulb chandelier, and they work fine in that setup. I do also have some circuits with multiple fixtures outdoors (they work fine if shielded from the elements) but those only have single pole on\off switches with no dimmer. But I do have some other mini can 2 pin Philips dimmable LED bulbs on a 3 way circuit with one dimmer and one on\off. Hope that's not too confusing. Bottom line is that I would see no reason why these wouldn't work in a setup like you're describing. Hope that helps.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup.- Joel

I have bulbs in two different rooms, and can set up 'scenes' for each individually, so yes, you can do what you're asking. Just be sure the scenes each person uses do not include any of the bulbs from other person's room.

No. I have mine hooked up to three outside lights on my detached garage but all on the same circuit. Look at this as a replacement for a regular light switch, but with remote capabilities. The work around would require you to put all of these lights on the same circuit if you wanted to use the same switch. I don't know that there is any product out there that will work with multiple circuits.

Not necessarily. If the two bulbs are close together, the light will be brighter but not necessarily "double" the output of one bulb, because there is some cancellation involved due to proximity. Separate the bulbs some distance and there will be more light in the area being illuminated but the illumination will not be the same as if you used one 10000k bulb. There are formulas to determine this but I am not up on them.

not alone. I had some success with it with CFL's only when there was also an incandescent bulb on the same circuit. My switch eventually failed.

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

To my knowlege, the same remote will work for any unit--regardless if it came with that bulb or not. But I do not believe one remote can control more than one bulb at a time. so if you place two units side by side, the remote will only read one at a time. You can use the same remote for either bulb, but it will have to be pointed at each unit to adjust. So one can be blinking red while the other can be fading blue.

I have two bulbs maybe four feet apart. If I hit the remote from far enough away (so they are both line of sight to the remote), they both go on/off at the same time. Unless you are standing/aiming the remote so that a bulb or bulbs are not in line of sight, you SHOULD be able to power them all on or off with one button press.
