I see it has a switch on the cover. I use a wall switch for the fixture I wish to replace. Will it turn on and off with just a wall switch? I presume for that to happen I would leave the cover switch in the on position but I want to be sure. I see it has a switch on the cover. I use a wall switch for the fixture I wish to replace.

yes. that is how I connected three lights in line to an existing switched circuit.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

That's correct, just leave the fixture switch on and control it with your wall switch.

The contractor who installed it for me showed me how to change the bulb, you slide the glass cover to the side. Haven't had to do it yet, but he said if I had trouble, he would come back and do it for me. I hope so.

You are quite welcome. I want to add that this is a good quality on and off switch. Probably one of the better ones on the market! Good luck, it is not really difficult to install!

You plug this into the wall socket, and then plug in the fixture that you want to control. the switch is between the wall and the socket on the box. So no, it would not control anything but the one plug, but you do get 5 different ones you can control.

There is no on/off switch on the fixture. This fixture has to be wired to a wall switch.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

If you want the light on constantly, you would turn your wall switch off for 3 seconds then turn wall switch back on.The light should stay on until you turn the wall switch off.If you want it to be dark while you are out there, then you would just turn the wall switch to the off position.

Brenda - It's designed to be operated by a wall switch, which connects to the fitting on the mounting plate that the plug goes into. It would normally be wired in like a ceiling light fitting.

NO. Check your wall switch to see if it is the kind that has a small neon light that is ON when the switch is OFF. If so, there could be some leakage current getting through that is causing the problem. If so, replace it with a regular wall switch.

Yes, it goes on, then turns off after a specified period. As far as turning it off completely, I do that from the wall switch that controlled the light that was previously there, I'm not sure there is a way to do it from the light.

Any fixture, including this one, can be connected to a dimmer switch. The dimmer is connected to the light switch in the wall, not to the fixture itself.

Overall, it's great. I would recommend that you have have your electrician put it on a wall switch/timer and just leave the switch that's on the rack In the ON position all the time. This way you won't ever worry about remembering to turn it off.

I already had a wall switch, we just replaced the heat bulb/fan. Our switch however, is a double switch one operates the heat lights the other operates the fan. We had it installed by the Handy Man Connection. It took them about an hour.

The fan offers a few ways to wire the light and fan. You can wire so that the wall switch turns on the fan AND light, then you use the two chains to select the light, the fan, or both. Another way to wire is use the wall switch to turn light on and off, then use the chain to turn on the fan when you need it. I only had one switch so I chose to wire the first way. Wiring instructions for the options I mentioned are included in the documentation.

By on/off wall switch. By the way, my light is even more beautiful than the picture.

If you currently have only one switch both the fan and light will operate when the switch is turned on. If you have two wall switches currently, one that operates a fan and one that operates the light in the fan assembly then you will have the option to have only the light operating without the fan being on. If the second switch currently operates the lights over the sink then you will not have the option of light only in the fan assembly.

Correct. The LED only comes on in the ON position and is off in the OFF position. This is a good thing since you won't accidentally leave your switch on as the LED is pretty bright and there is no mistaking whether the switch is ON or OFF. I am very satisfied with this switch and finished up my light install very well and was a definite upgrade over the supplied switch that came with my lights.
