does this light require a relay ?

It should be run through a relay. Unless you have a light switch and wireing that can handle the electrical load. Most switches are designed for low voltage and low amperage. Many LEDs may require less power to run but these light are very bright, create lots of heat and use more power then you think.

No relay is required, led is low draw. Mine works great, had 1 issue, had to resolder the positive wire to the board . But works great, lots of light.

No. I installed it directly a power source over a year ago and mine works perfect.

Not really. Higher wattage bulbs can cause the overheat relay to trip. I had to replace one light that kept doing that, but all the others will stay on for at least a couple hours without tripping.

It does not. I had two of these installed in my old house that still had it's 100 year old knob and tube wiring, so no, it does not need a neutral wire. These switches use the small lithium battery to keep time and engage the circuit. Unlike other light switches, you will hear a "pop" when it engages and disengages. It's an actual mechanical switch, hence it's comparability with all types of bulbs (CFL, LED, Incandescent, etc) and loads (motors, etc.). So, if you have an old house and want day/night timing for your porch lights, this is the switch for you.

Yes, it has NO (normally open) relay and alarm contacts. So connect your power source (110v AC, 12v DC, etc.) to one side of the output or alarm contacts and use the other side as the output. Connect the light bulb or other load from the output to ground. If the load is more than 3Amps you will need an external relay.

No they don't, nor is that allowed per code. You have to wire it to your lighting circuit.

im not an electrician but yes the light works without using the fan. but i have two different wall switches . one for each. its a stunnning fixture

No.just has 2 wires one black one red power they are short you will have to add on with a switch..but it's easy.and it's a excellent light. Got mine mounted on top.love it

No, it does not. You have to wire it into a switch or plug. But don't let that deter you from purchasing this light. It is of surprisingly good quality, and puts out a good light over the pool table.

I would day it is best to use a relay, unless youuse aheavy dutyswitch. Most switches are not designed to handle a load running through them, even though these lights only use about 5 amps to run both.

A relay is included but I didnt need it. Check your furnace set up...chances are you have a 24v HUM hookup on your furnace.

No. If I recall, this unit requires at least 8-9V to fire the relay (12vDC).

I believe it did require a neutral wire. If I remember my installation correctly it didn't simply drop in place of the hot switch it replaced

I don't know. Mine is mounted in my garage, and I had no need for a light kit. BTW, after replacing the first wireless relay with the new one Hunter sent me, the fan has worked fine since.

No. It's basically a dumb switch. It sends a pulse to the primary via the traveler wire of a traditional three way set up and the main switch works the light. It needs the traveler,neutral and ground.

No, but only a short pieces needed, depending on where located. Also, instructions ask for a fuse to be used.

you don't need one. Plugs right into regular socket. Doesn't need ballast or reflector. Worked well for me....for about two years...than started losing lights. When I tried to contact company....I found them out of business.

Yes. I read somewhere where it will show somekind of code error if you dont use. I got tha relay harness and installed it and couldnt get but one high beam to come on and no low beam. Took it back off until i have time to fool with it. I think tha problem is me tho.
