I assume this can be creatively hooked up as a door switch to a 120-125v light fixture in a closet for example?

Like Kozek said, barring the voltage, you can use this just like any other switch. Electricity is pretty simple in the regards that it is either ON or OFF. Understanding the ohms, amps, voltage, etc. of the current is a little more complex. Sounds like you already get that.

Interesting idea. Some concerns would be whether it could handle the current for the closet light, how to mount it, and safely insulate the wire connections.

I don't think that it is good idea to put in a closet besides it is not safe since it is part designed fit into GE's refrigerator.

I didn't measure the voltage when I replaced this switch, but I assume it is 120. If it is, I think you could use it like any other switch.

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 only way that you could do that is to wire an outlet that was controlled by the switches. You also would not be able to use florescent bulbs in the lamp.

Based on my understanding, I don't think this switch can be considered a low voltage switch. It replaced my normal 120 volt light switch. I think a low voltage switch would be akin to a wall thermostat with the tiny wires and specifically states "low voltage". I think the switch needs 120 volts to operate.

Yes as long as you put only 110-120 volts & no more than 15 amps. The output is only 15 amps from the switch.

This one is designed to be used with 120 volts. But there is one that is a dedicated 12 volt light with the same housing

Switch has an 1800 watt maximum load recommendation. Should work as long as you do not exceed that.

yes it can be wired to a standard light switch. that is what i did. it runs my homemade lathe

Easily, unless the total wattage exceeds the switch capacity of 1800 watts (which would be quite unusual).

Yes, that's what I use mine for. I put mine in a double-outlet box, with a regular switch for my light and the timed switch for my fan.

You will need to use a relay in order to do something like that. The switch alone cannot handle that much current, it is meant for very low voltage situations, or use with a relay switch.

Yes, if you wire it correctly. Also can be wired to where the switch controls the receptacle. Consult someone qualified to perform the wiring for you.

No, there is no switch that would indicate it. It is only wired for 120volt.

This would be the right product for turning light on opening a door... I'm using mine with to turn on LED light strips in my gun safe which are low voltage and works great. Your application may have be different if your trying to use 110 volts.

Using wire for outside usage , will be more than enough voltage to handle garage doorm

This CONTROLS a fixture in a space that doesn't have wiring for one. Not the way you are asking. So no.

I don't think so. I plug in to a 110 outlet. The light switch is on/off with no switch for voltage
