Can this be used to shut a regular lamp on and off at night?

Of course! What the timer basically does is cut the electric signal. So yes, you can use this to turn on or off a lamp or many other things.

Yes! Set the lamp to "on" and plug it in to the Tork. You can set which times of day or night you want the lamp "on" on the tork itself. :)

No there's one plug two switches on the light bar itself one switch for moonlight and the other for light. Both can be active simultaneously so in my opinion a simple plug and play timer would not work correctly for turning off light then turning on moonlight and vice versa

Yes you can turn the night light to the off position and use it for power outage only.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

Hello Baby Mama. This switch was designed to work with a TV set. If the light you plan to turn off is a lamp that use low voltage it might not work. I think for your aquarium is better to use a basic timer to program the bubbler to turn on and off with the frequency you want. I also have one installed in my aquarium working well. Hope this helps. Kind regards.

Yes that is what it was designed for. If you use in an outside light it does best with an outside light cover that is not opaque or reflects the light back unto itself. This tends to shut them off periodically and it may take a while for them to come back on. Also if you are using more than one, say for example a set of garage lights. They should ideally be 10 feet or more apart so they don't cause each other to shut down. They are very cool though and I love mine since I have no switch inside my house to turn my garage lights on, this solves the problem when it gets dark.

you can probably use a timer with this lamp. i keep mine on all day with a low-wattage nightlight bulb in it (7w) to keep a little light in the front foyer of my house all day. turn it off when i get home, then turn it on again before bed to keep a little light by staircase to illuminate steps. depending on the size wattage bulb you use, it illuminates enough light to serve its purpose. i use mine not as lamp to be visible from the outside (it's in a corner table in my front foyer by my front door) to be used as a low light just enough to illuminate the area for which it serves. but you can use a larger wattage bulb to produce more light. mind you, the lamp is small (see dimensions w/ ad) so it would never light up an entire room. they make this lamp in larger sizes as well. it is a beautiful, well-made lamp. the glass globe is beautiful. this was an excellent purchase for my needs and well-priced. i am sure you will not be disappointed. good luck!

I don't see why not. I don't use it with an LED lamp, but at the end of the day it's just a remote that turns things on.

I don't think so. My guess is that if the sensor is blocked by the fixture, the light would always be on; if it is NOT blocked, the fixture's reflector may reflect light back on to the sensor, thus turning it off and on repeatedly at night. The bulb is designed to operate with a relatively unobstructed outside view. They work great for me in light post and wall mount carriage house-type glass and metal fixtures.

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.

No. It needs a timer and can only be changed from day to night by hand switch.

Yes, you can use the switch to turn the lamp on and off so long as the application has the device powered to the "on" position. The device essentially controls power to the lamp, so it must be "on" via the application to allow power to reach the lamp. Conversely, if you turn the lamp off, then the application will be unable to turn the lamp on. The lamp switch must be in the "on" postition for the application to be able to control the lamp. Be sure to leave the lamp in the on position if you intend to leave the house and control the lamp remotely.

The simple answer is yes. A more practical response is that this light bulb is only 7 watts, not much more than a typical plug-in night light - the kind you plug into a wall outlet. A dimmer (switch) most likely will not offer any benefit. If the light fixture where you wish to use this size bulb is controlled by a dimmer, then most likely you will turn the switch to the maximum brightness and leave it there.

I have left the lamps on all day and they didn't turn off. You must turn them off. I suggest not using a low watt bulb, but use the 40 watt. The lowest setting on the lamps can be used as a night light.

Since the timer activates with darkness I would say no. You could turn the switch to "on" and plug it into the lamp timer. Of course it won't show as brightly as it would from a dark room.

Yes you can still manually turn off your lamp or accessory. The remote is just very convenient in dark areas that you can turn items off once you are in a safely lite area. The remote works through walls even.
