Can I wire it with a light switch?

Its gets hardwired into your electrical system so I guess you could wire in a switch as well. But realize it's an emergency light so its designed to turn itself off when its receiving power from your electrical system. Then when the power is off,such as during a power failure, it turns itself on using its battery power.

Absolutely NOT. It needs (by code) to be hardwired to a direct power source. That's the whole purpose- when the power goes out, the emergency lights come on. You can wire it to the power BEFORE it enters the light switch, but not after (controlled by) the light switch.

This Emergency Light provides for direct wiring connection to any 120V supply.

Why would you want to? Switch off (open circuit an remove power) is the same as a power outage. Light would come on until battery dies.

Usually this light has a dedicated feed which keeps the battery fully charged. If you wire it or feed it through a switch, it would wise to make sure that nobody turns the switch off. Remember that this light is designed to work when there is a power failure and will usually work only for four to six hours after a power loss.

You could; but it would only charge when the light switch was on. And it would turn on when you turned the lights switch to 'off'.

It can be wired to switch, but every time the power is interrupted l.e the switch is turned off, the lights will come on anddischarge the battery.

I don't think so. It works off of electricity and there's no manual switch available.

No. This plugs directly into USB and there is a switch inline near the lights.

Short answer, yes. Just wire it up like how you would a light bulb; make sure to add a resistor, this thing only take 12volts DC only.

No. There is only one on/off switch provided. If you are handy, you could wire a switch for each light.

I don't think so. It basically is just a direct wire to the buildings wiring. I suppose you could buy a switch and wire it to the light but, it would take a fair amount of customizing.

No. It's just the fixture with a short bit of black/white/ground wire. You'll have to wire in a box and your own switch

I am sure you could do that. The plug on it is just a basic plug with a power switch. The patterns are controlled with a button on the light it's self. Just use caution and make sure you know for sure what wire is hot and ground

No, no switch. Plug in and if need be turn on anything plugged into outlet.

Yes if the light has a ground going to it. If so cap the ground wire and connect the hot wire to the switch. If there is not a groumd wire going to the light it will not work.

Sorry for the dely in response. Yes, absolutely; it can be connected to a light switch and turned on and off as required. It does have a sun sensor which means it will not turn on during the daytime. I've recently installed two and really like the investiment. I'm really impressed with the light output. I did need to play with the sensatively and positioning for a while, but that's not different than with any other sensor.

Do not think that will work. Switch is a single pole single throw. LED is designed to light when there is low light and requires an additional white wire to work

You will need a switch and some wire. You can find wiring diagrams online for a basic switch wiring. I have 4 of these wired to 2 switches. They are great

Yes, you can use a regular light switch. That's what we've done with no problem.

I'm sure you can wire it to any light. Are you tall enough to touch the light on the ceiling? This device works by converting the metal parts on the lamp to a switch.

Yes. along with instructions how to set up and operate. It's about as difficult to install as a light switch. P'cola Bob

Perhaps so. I don't have that capability on my switch. Light is very soft however - more of a "glow",
