I did not try with Fluorescent tubes ! but I thing won't work because the gas on the tube are very sensible and any spark of the swith will be keeping going on and off!

Get Leviton PR150-1LW 500W instruction Sheet searching Goggle and Read under specification. It states Not intended for use with electronic ballasts. Intended for use with rapid start fluorescent or incandescent lighting only. At top of instruction sheet it states 400VA-120VAC, 60Hz (Fluorescent - RAPID START MAGNETIC BALLASTS ONLY) All I can offer is to read the instruction sheet and follow it.

I believe it would work but it may cause the lights to flicker. When I hooked one of these in with a CFL bulb it had to change the bulb to an incandescent because it would flicker. Leviton makes a Maestro series switch that will handle flourescent tubes (or any ballast or ballast bulbs such as CLF or LED.) It costs more but it is a far superior switch in everyway. Just be sure to get the right wattage rating on the switch for the fixtures, they very widely.

yes just make sure you have correct plug that fits your ballast if not get an adapter.it,s so cool with air running thru it you can put your hand on the glass.

I haven't tried it but I'm sure that it does. It works with fluorescents and many kinds of other loads, such as small motors. Should be no problem.

Yes. If you bypass the ballast in a single tube fixture the light will work.

I don't see any issue why it wouldn't work. As long as you can pull apart a couple of sections of tube close to the suction port, it should work just fine.

I think it should, I have it working with both cfl and LEDs. No problem so far.

I cannot answer your question as I do not have any fluorescent lighting in my home to try it for you. I'm sorry I could not help.

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

No! It will not work with CFL bulbs.It only works with incandescent light bulbs.

This is strickly for on and off. So yes it will work with anything. Now the lamp fixture is another story

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.

NO. I like these Tubes because of the "no-need to change the Lamp Holders". Just remove the Ballast, ( from the Florescent Light Fixture ) then tie the White wire to one end of the fixture and the Black wire to the other end. Tie down the Ground, install the tubes, and the job is done. I changed out 6 Florescent Tubes, in our Kitchen, with these "Brightest LED Tubes" and WOW, what a big difference. Couldn't be more pleased.

Yes! The manufacturer says it will work for led bulbs. It will NOT work with fluorescent bulbs(will burn out the sensor).

I would assume that it would. Under the technical details, it says "OPERATES INCANDESCENT, FLUORESCENT, MERCURY VAPOR AND SODIUM FIXTURES", and since--according to Wikipedia--metal-halide lamps are "similar to mercury vapor lamps", I think you'll be okay.

Yes - the switch will work with any load up to rated capacity. This includes fluorescent ballasts and motors.

Bill: You would need a 12 volt DC power supply. This 8 module fluorescent tube replacement requires only 1 amp to produce the same amount of light as 2 fluorescent tubes that would draw 4 amps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Joe Brignolo, Inventor and Owner, Cabin Bright.
