how to wire indicator light off switch
145292
You will need an on/off toggle switch which will have two spade connectors, the light also has two spade connectors. One connector from the light should to to a ground. The other connector from the light will go to one of the spade connectors on the toggle switch. The other spade connector from the light will go to to a 12 volt source (you should put an in line fuse in the line). This will turn the light on and off. If you are using the light to indicate something turning on and off (say in a car or boat) simply put the light in line with the power source for the device. Hope this helps.

You need to wire up the light using an appropriate connector. One side would be positive and the other negative. Simply run a wire from your switch to the connection tabs on the light. The switch would provide the on-off capability. Soldering wires directly to either terminal would also work and would be more robust.

Don't do it. If you don't know what you are doing take a class. Learn first hand from somebody who does know.

Hi Richie, One pole connected to a 12V power supply, probably a signal wire from a device or switch. The other pole connected to the ground of the device, houding, car, etc. The poles can be connected by a "female receptacle 6,35W."

splice switch into positive power before the light then the switch turns the power on and off to the light and whatever the light is connected to. its an LED so the positive power can only go on the one marked + not either way as with other lights

It must be hard wired. No switch. I own 2. Great light on dimmer switch especially.

it is a switch, it's only on when it's dark, you want to turn it off wire any type switch on the positive side, all is required is to break the + side ac/dc

You should have a black and a red. That go's positive and negative. The other wire (yellow or red) should go to your switch.

Mary, The on/off switch is on the back of the light hood. This should be indicated in the material that came with your light.

I have 3 of these lights. L is hot/ black and N is neutral/ white. I would label with a marker before u cut off any extra wire.

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.

There is no switch, just plug in when you need the illumination......otherwise, it's awesome off!

They do not have an on off switch, they only come with wire pigtails coming out of the light fixtures themselves. You will need to either wire them off an exis circuit or create a new one with a switch, an inline fuse, and 2 wires (1 positive, 1 negative)

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

yes, this would be the best way. A Dremel tool is the best way to do this. Most dashes can be removed away from the front panel far enough to route the wiring and connect to the switch. once this is done, it is fairly easy to wire the indicator to the switch. If you don`t have a Dremel tool kit, thenyou would have to drill 4 corner holes and hand saw with a Jigsaw or a Jigsaw blade and a pair of vise grips. Just make sure you can get to all of the wiring to hook it up. Once the hole is made, it is easy to mount it with the two screw holes and small metal screws.

Neutral to the light traveling wire and load (black between switches). See Lutron website here http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/Maestro.pdf

on the underside of the light is a small pin hole. put the wire key into the hole and push - that turns it on. :o)

There is no physical on off switch on the lights. I covered up the sensor so it always thinks it's night and wired them through a light switch.

Main wires go to battery and smaller wire to switch or to a fuse block that comes on when switch is turned on

wire one power supply to both ends 12v DC or 24vac works great / output switch can be NO or NC just move jumper / unit is aligned when LED is lit on receiver. The one with 2 wires is lamp and 4 wires is receiver / if near a window or slider signal may bounce off glass, A tube or tape may help to limit beam. Have fun : )

I AGREE with this previous answer.... That is an indicator light in the center, and not a switch. This is a wall mounted surge protector, and you need an in-the-wall ground fault circuit interruptor duplex receptacle, which you can get at a big box store or Amazon. This is usually a code requirement in water environments (kitchens, baths, and outside). Hope this helps.
