Can this be used to switch a 120 volt light on and off when the beam is broken?

Yes you can but not directly, you have to use a low voltage relay 12/24v to activate.

This product, and the several like it which are available on Amazon and elsewhere, operates by mechanically moving a lightswitch from the "Off" position to the "On" position or the reverse. It is powered by batteries. So it is independent of the wiring for the switch itself. In a word, yes it should work as long as there is a standard toggle switch to operate on.

Yes. I don't use it that way but it's really just like one of those things you plug in to give you more outlets to a single plug-in with the option to switch it off. I love mine. I use it as an on/off switch for an antique lamp. Makes on/off as east as pie without having to install a switch on my Victorian lamp.

Yes, it's just a mechanical contact closure. It doesn't care what type of voltage or signal it switches, within its current carrying capacity (25 amps). Break the hot wire (black) for the switching.

Since the light source is electronic as opposed to electric it will only handle minute voltage changes so even modifying the power source won't work.

I would say that this unit can control anything that is low voltage controlled (ie. solenoid). I don't think it would work as a switch on a 120v pump for example.

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

Yes it could. Cut it off and wire to switch. Be sure to connect positive wire to switch. I have my lights in the ceiling of my deck and have them plugged into a timer.

Yes you can use the normal breaker and wall switch. Any that has a metal reflector and is rated for a 250 watt light(important so it won't melt).

you can akk the company that sells it and they will answer you. i would think it should work as long as the amps are correct, and i don't remember what the amps are. i use it to turn on/off a single 12volt light in a camping trailer

Yes, I used these to replace a few non-switched units. When you install them you will leave the switch that is on the fixture on, and use your light switch as normal.

You might be able to, but it would be difficult. Mine too has failed, but at the switch. It still works, but it's dangerous.

Hi Denton...should work, my install is behind a double switch plate with one traditional switch and this timer. This works well with LED lights, it has a battery to assist the switching action because of the small amount out electricity for operation. Others will not work on low voltage lights.Joe

I'm not sure but it seems to me that if you split the 240 v line into two 120 v lines you could use one of these lines to power the floodlight.

It will switch pretty much any type of light. Note that Lutron specifies the minimum load as 25W, so you could have problems with a small number of low-power LED lights.

No, you need a neutral for the light to work on this device and not all light switches have a neutral but splitting the load wire is not going to work.

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.
