Do I have to have a special switch as well or is this all I need to turn on the lights when I walk into a room? Thank you

once you have wired the unit and put the unit on the ceiling (in my case), you do not need to turn on the lights. You adjust the unit to automatically turn off. bottom line: you walk in the room and the light goes on and after you leave the room it will automatically cut off. works well for me.

No special switch. Just wire it in parallel to your existing switch. Then when you turn the lights on, they come on and stay on, like always. But when you turn the switch off, the lights come on when something moves in the area.

This will switch the power to the light. Nothing else is needed with this one

We installed it in a laundry room with no switch. The light turns on and off automatically. You can use a standard switch with it, but you would leave it "on" at all times, but this could lead to confusion, if someone accidentally turned it off.

this uses three wires, Phase/Neutral and output to Lamp. If you need to turn on the lights for a period longer than programed (let's say while cleaning the floor during night) you can use a switch to short circuit the Phase/output. Otherwise you don't need a switch at all...

If you already have an on/off switch it is no roblem........you simply cover the little light sensor with black electrical tape. The light will be on or off depending on the switch position.

Existing switch is definitely adequate. Turn on once and it functions as motion sensor and Dawn/Dusk sensing. Turn on-off-on quickly and the light will stay on until you turn it off. Hope this is helpful.

I did not use the switch that came with it. I got this one from Amazon: Laser Green Rocker Switch SASQUATCH LIGHTS 20A 12V On/off LED Light

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.

Unfortunately, this has no inline switch per se- rather a 'pull cord' type on / off switch. Ensure your light is anchored properly- otherwise you are liable to pull it out of the ceiling. hope this helps..

Yes, you have to install a dimmer (small slide dimmer) on the switch. Ask an electrician or someone at Lowes or Home Depot. You can also get a remote, but the slide dimmer works great and costs less. The dimmer has a slight click or notch for all three speeds. My electrician installed it.

No you need a special bulb. I am not that knowledgable but I have heard that.

no special light.just press and hold switch.light will dim and increase back to full brightness.

Neither. It must be hard-wired into your fixture and it then works off the existing switch or will need another switch added.

If you want to control the fan and light separately then you will need a switch for each. If the night light is to be constantly on, then you will need a separate non-switched power source for that light. If you want to control the night light also you will need a third switch.In my installation I had one switch and no non-switched power since I was replacing a simple fan and I did not want to rewire the bathroom. The light and fan come on together when the switch is turned on. I didn't use the night light since I had no always-on source of power.

Either switch can turn the light on independently. Just make sure the very thin master switch is in the correct position as per the instructions.

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

That I am not sure about, the only type of switch I put it on was a single pole that turned on the lights. Wish I could tell you more.

We had a plug installed inside the cabinet and a switch installed on the wall to turn that plug on & off, then plugged the lights into that plug. works great.

It is a wired switch. The only way you'll be able control a light that is only wired to one switch is to run a new set of wires to the new location or replace the existing switch with one that has a remote control.

No. It's just the fixture with a short bit of black/white/ground wire. You'll have to wire in a box and your own switch
