I used an IPS05 on a fluorescent light with a magnetic r-s ballast; the light doesn't always come on. Does it work only with electronic ballasts?

i use them, it is with save energy bulbs. as soon as i walk in the lights turn on. over time the lights get even brighter. they work well

I use this switch in my workshop with cheap shop lights. Those lights have two 40 Watt fluorescent lights and an ordinary ballast. The switch always works.

If it comes on at all, it should be wired correctly. The bulbs and ballast have nothing to do with the sensor, which is what tells the switch to operate. I would suspect the sensor may need to be re-positioned to better see the motion.

There are specific switches for different fixtures. I ended up contacting leviton customer care to find the right one

I have a slightly older model of this motion sensor, the PIR720. I installed six of these with the Switch 75 LED bulb and so far they've been working fine for a few weeks. I did contact the seller to ask if the product is compatible with LEDs and got a useless non-answer--essentially they said the product works with incandescent and CFLs but didn't specifically say it DOESN'T work with LEDs. In my experience, so far, with the Switch, it does work. However, I'm not sure if it will reduce the lifetime of the Switch and given the cost of it that would be an issue...

Your existing fixtures work. However they have to be required. I have two types and each set has its own special wiring... And will not work with fl ballast.

No! Has to be hps ballast. Mh ballast won't turn on hps bulb. But hps ballast will turn on a MH bulb.

I replaced a TCP 17030Q 30-Watt NPF Circline Compact Fluorescent Ballast with the TCP 17058Q 58-watt Compact Fluorescent Ballast. I dont see why it would not work for you as well. You just have to make sure the 58 watt bulb will fit in the glass globe of your ceiling fan/light fixture as it may be too large. Since the one I replaced was a 30 watt bulb and yours is a 36 watt bulb it should work. Good Luck!

I have compact fluorescent bulbs plugged into mine and it works just fine. I imagine LEDs would work with it as well (as long as they aren't the type of fixture that you have to touch/tap to turn on).

That is correct. You can run this lamp on e-ballasts but it does not run properly.

Yes it will work but ballast won't last as long I lost a digital ballast never used them again

Check your relay I have had to replace the relays on both of my Innovited systems within the first year... It's unlikely both ballasts went at the same time.

Sorry Robert, I don't know about a ballast. Purchased the extra bulb from Amazon, have not encountered the ballast issue. Good luck.

Yup! I've used both digital and analog ballasts and the bulbs don't really matter much. If your current ballasts work with your set up (as in plays nice with sensors/daytime/auto-on modes) and the wattage matches; this should be a plug and play installation. There's plenty of places on google that can help you out if you get stuck. Best of luck!

ballast is bypassed, would not work. I'd suggest labels for hot and neutral too.

Yes, it will work with both electronic and magnetic ballast fluorescent lights, CFL's as well. I have one installed in the roof of my 40 watt bug zapper (Stinger) and it works fine. I have another installed in a plastic gang box with one duplex electrical outlet (for portable usage) turning on a 1.5 amp fan. This is a thermally operated machanical switch with time delay.

Your problem sounds pretty weird but installing a relay on my truck for my snow plow harness did improve reliability. In certain circumstances one light would and they would flicker and turn off when i used high voltage and not come on. I don't think "stock" wiring is sufficient enough to power 55w ballasts. I would recommend installing the relay. As for the inability to turn on for long periods of time, i donmt know. Install the relay and if that still does not work, you can return your ballasts for replacements.

I've installed one of these switches with a LED floodlight from Home Depot. The light turns on fine, but when the switch is off, the light blinks about once every 2 seconds, like a flash. Very annoying. (And the directions specifically state to do NOT use with CFLs.) Get the EJ600 to use with LEDs.

i had no issue with it working the flourescents i had a pair of them and it works great. your mileage may vary. also my flourecents used the newer ballast system instead of the old style.

Here is an answer from the mfg. CAUTION: Most Apollo timers are not for use with digital or electronic ballasts due to the high in-rush current of the ballast. The in-rush current can be from 10 to 40 times the rated amperage for the product and this burns the contacts inside of the timer making it inoperable. We recommend the use of the Apollo 4 120 Volt ballast timer or Apollo 5 240 Volt ballast timer with digital and electronic ballasts.
