can this be used to wire a spot light to click it on &amp; off

This is a momentary switch, so it won't click on then click off. It makes contact as long as you are pressing it....however, it has a latch lock that can be pulled on to keep the switch depressed for as long as you want the current to flow, so technically, you could use it in the spotlight application.

don't think so, you would need to have a switch with a two wire start setup, the switch in question needs 5 wires for start and sencing..

s to it.My application is industrial. I need to turn it on from just one place, even though there is multiple feeds to it. Any qualified electrician should be able to wire it to turn on and off from more than one location.

Short answer, yes. Just wire it up like how you would a light bulb; make sure to add a resistor, this thing only take 12volts DC only.

the best I remember the light comes with a 2 wire pigtail coming out of the light. So I guess that you could hook several together. The light pulls so little current that a standard cheap toggle switch wont completely turn it off. Mine stays on dim when the switch s in the off position. I wired mine so the ignition switch turns off the toggle as well, so it will go completely off.

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.

This particular unit is for post lights so it would not be the one for you. My son has a porchlight however that has the same functions as this unit. I don't know who the manufacturer is though. If your two lights are wired together though you only need one of them to have these special functions.

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.

You really only want to feed the switch with whatever amperage feed you need for the circuit you are switching. I wouldn't just tap off anything to feed the switch and the light. Since you can only feed the switch once, you would have to make that decision.

Yes.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

I don't see why not. It's basically an on-off switch. I'm using mine with a CFL with no problem (except I don't like the CFL's brightness or warm-up time). But the fixture works just fine in turning the lights on and off. I'm sure it will work equally well with an LED bulb (which is what I'm gong to do myself next time a bulb needs to be changed).

it's very simple to wire using test light. i wired mine in 10 minutes, but the item only worked for about a month and quit. the soldering on the inside is not very good and will come loose and stop working. at least mine did anyway.

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

Doubtful as this is a 4 wire switch. However, if two of your six wires are not used or if they are joined together for whatever reason, it might work.

Yes, I think it will work. It is a 3 position switch: off, on & accessories.

I would NOT NOT NOT recommend this - I use this with fluorescent lights and it missed over half of the start / stop times which are extremely important... Unless you are going to be around each day/night you want these to turn on and make sure they turn on and off at the proper times, I would NOT buy this... I actually use an old school one where you have to push the little button in on the side to tell it when to turn on and off and I havent have one problem yet... This is an instance in where technology is not better.

Yes, that switch would work fine, assuming you have wire properly. It's actually a little overkill. An SPST switch would work and be less confusing to wire properly.
