Will this switch work if it is up high (second story) mounted light? can it be run down lower to sense cars pulling up to garage in drive way?

Mine is mounted about 12 feet up, and it has more than enough sensitivity to detect cars and even people in the driveway below. And I even have the sensitivity turned way down to prevent detecting tree motion due to wind.

It should be sensitive to cars in the driveway. Just be sure and point the sensor toward the driveway. Start with the sensitivity turned up high. Mine is just above the garage door and turns on for cars and people at about 30 feet away. Try this first. The unit could be mounted lower, but you'll have to run wiring from the light to the sensor and get a separate bracket to mount the sensor.

It should work. The sensor has very long range. either 75 feet or 100 feet but I forgot the exact rating.

It should work as long as switch is not being kept from moving to off set point

Not if you mount only two 55 Watt lights in one circuit. Especially on a newer vehicle. The wires provided in the kit are of a sufficient thickness (gauge). I have the lights mounted all around my roof rack and they work fine with no overloading on wiring.

I screwed mine into a ceiling socket on my outdoor carport and have had no problem. Why do you think you need an extender? I would imagine as long as the sensor is out from whatever you put it in, it will work. Sensor needs to be able to detect light. Hope this helps.

I'm using the switch as an on/off/auto for a electric car fan. It is double pole/double throw, so you can do two of something (fans, pumps, whatever) if you want. So it would be off/off, on/on, or auto/auto. If i understand you correctly you want to run the pump normally controlled from of a sensor "auto", then force "off" even if the sensor says to turn it on, and then also force "on" if the sensor says no. If that is the case then YES this switch will work. The switch completes the circuit in two positions, and is "open" in another position.

Not sure i understand your question. The setup you describe is what this product is designed to do. I setup my exterior light that way. It works great. For an interior light not sure why you want this setup. Isn't there a motion light switch that can do something similar.

I am not sure if it will work the way you want it to. I am using it as a dimmer switch for a lamp.

The switch can be used for that using the ground wire. That is what I used to activate my under hood led light.

As designed, the system will lower to 8 feet FROM the ceiling. If you try to MacGyver something to lower further, it MIGHT work, but do you trust it enough to be walking/parking under it at that point? Personally, I wouldn't do it.

I do not know. I had the switch installed to control an outside spotlight. After an electrician installed the switch it would not work that night. Mine does not work!

Really it could go either way that all has to do with the wiring on your car. If your plugs are h4 with 3 wires in each then each light can be both high and low. I personally have them in a 4 bulb set up with two as high and low and two as just high.

Is surf up or down? Kidding. If your car has the two rails as shown, it should work fine

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.

There in normally no neutral on a standard light switch. Just hot and load. If you are luck there will also be a bare ground wire (often cut back so you will have to extend it). You can use the (extended) ground wire for both the neutral and ground connections on the sensor. As long as the circuit is not GFI protected then it works nicely. No adjustments required. Give it a minute to warm up. Try pressing the button once. The red light normally indicates it detected motion.

This switch should be fine on your truck as long as the circuit your planning on using it on doesn't draw more than 20 amps, hopefully drawing a little less so the switch isn't operating at it's limit continuously.

Sorry, purchased for my garage so not sure if it would function as you describe.

Yes it will. The procedure is to run the "hot" wire to one of the corner terminals and the loop a jumper from that terminal to the opposite corner. The "ground" wire goes to two remaining corner terminals in the same way. The load wires go to the remaining terminals on the sides of the switch and result is a switch which is off in the middle position, and reverses the polarity going out the side terminal depending on which way the switch is thrown.
