can this be used as a light switch and also how bid is the screw on part

I don't know what kind of light you have in mind, but the typical household light switch for lighting circuits is rated at equal, if not less amps, usually 15-20 amps. Unless you are using it for some higher output lamp, it should work fine. Remember, watts divided by volts equals amps. For instance, if you are operating a 75 watt bulb under a 120 volt circuit, you would determine the amps as 75/120 = .625 amps. If you are operating more than one bulb, be sure to add up all of the bulb wattages before you do the math. This switch is rated at 20 amps, so don't go over the rated amperage. The screw portion of the switch is right at 7/16 in. Be careful and good luck.

not a switch it's to remount the housing to base when changing battreies. light is not waterproof. i have to empty out water if it gets wet.

Since the light feature has an on/off switch, this would certainly seem possible. The instructions are otherwise unclear ...

Bryan, it is for lights controlled by 2-way switches, but for me it primarily serves as a receiver for my tv remote to control my lights. Hope this helps...

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.

Yes, this would be possible provided the sconce is large enough to accommodate for the screw in part. Suggest 4-5 inches in width to provide proper clearance. This is the setup I have with several outdoor sconces and it works well. The motion sensor part is not attractive for an indoor application. But that's more a matter of preference. I might suggest using a motion-sensing wall switch instead. These switches fit right in the wall and they replace your current light switch. I have these in several rooms in my house and love them. The benefit here, other than possibly being a more elegant solution, is that you could use it as an actual on/off switch manually or just let it do its thing with the motion sensor. One good one is by Enerlites.

The assembly is larger than a normal light switch in length and width. The electronics and remote sensor is hidden behind the plate, but does not recess into the wall. Also the mounting screw points don't match with a regular 2 gang electrical box. For all these reasons, I don't believe it will work as you've inquired.

I have seen some similar fixtures that have a switch button built into the wall plate. This fixture does not have this feature and can only be operated by hardwiring to a wall switch.

You would be better off simply replacing your current switch with this one as long as this is a compatible switch. It's not designed to be opened easily. If you do get it opened, you will be extremely challenged to get it all back together in a way that it will actually work. Just replace the entire piece.

I'm sure it could be used to replace a 3-way switch, but you should check Honeywell's website to be sure. It really is just a fancy switch with a timer to turn lights on and off, but you can use it manually just fine.

Yes it can work as an on off switch, but you must slide it all the way up and down to get that functionality. So it's not too quick for a "switch" functionality, if you know what I mean.

I suppose but there are other alternatives for that. This is designed for a fan light combo and has 5 wires to operate both fan and light. If you only need a timer switch any home center or hardware store should have that.

i don't know for sure but can't see why not. But if y9u then shut the switch it is not attached to, the light would go off but ai don't know if that switch would be able to turn the light on. might want to check w/an electrician.

yes it can be wired to a standard light switch. that is what i did. it runs my homemade lathe

No I would not . I think the switch is only intend for light use , as in small things.

I was simply replacing one that was already in but not functioning. Attached similar with similar wiring. If you are converting a standard fixture with this device, it would be negligent of me to advise you, since I am not an electrician AND I don't know what you're converting. It's a great device when installed safely and VERY functional as you get older and grasping knobs and light switches becomes more difficult. Talk to some one at your local electrical store or a friend who knows/is an electrician. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yes - there's the mounting bracket, screws and short wiring pigtail. You'll need to buy a fuse (30 amp) and additional wire (12 gauge) to reach the battery. The switch is part of the light. It's an awesome light, and be aware that it gets hot and needs plenty of space around it for ventilation.
