Can I use with a 20 Watt outside LED Floodlight ??

I've not had any luck in using LED bulbs with the Honeywell RPLS530A 7-Day Programmable Timer Switch, at Christmas time I use 18 ft tube lights This switch work good with these lights.

I would think it is possible. I am not using an LED, but I am using a 25W CFL Floodlight with no problem and a 13W CFL on the same switch. It turns on my outside lights at night.

You can see the specifications at http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Safety+and+Security/Programmable+Timer+Switches/RPLS530A.htm where it says "For use with incandescent and halogen lights up to 500 W. Requires 40 W minimum. "

I have been currently using this switch for two 8-watt outdoor LED lights without a problem for about 8 months now. The instructions do state a 40-watt minimum load, but this may depend on the wiring set-up.

I found the switch worked fine with two Cree 9.5 watt bulbs. And to my surprise it also worked with a set of these Triangle Bulbs (Pack of 3) G16.5 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 380 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb E12 Base 5 watt, non dimmable bulbs. I assume the 40 watt incandescent minimum is for provide a sufficiently low resistance ground return to keep the timer powered up. It would appear the internal power supply for most LEDs will do the job.

Yes, I'm using an 18 watt CREE LED light bulb with this timer. The package states 40 watt minimum, but it seems to work fine.

Not if that is the only light. The instructions say it cannot be used with a load less than 40 watts or more than 500. So you would either have to put in a bigger bulb or add another fixture somehow.

Yep. And I highly suggest you try this bulb: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 8-Watt (65-Watt) BR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Sure why not ... I have a 50 watt LED that is a outdoor flood light not designed to go on a tripod on mine , so a lite weight umbrella and a flash would go on very easily ...

Theoretically it could be wired for 12 VDC; but it would involve more work than it is worth and probably would result in destroying some LED segments. The light source is made up of a grid of smaller LED modules in series / parallel all very close together. This grid of LED modules is connected to a heatsink that dissipates the heat to the lamp housing. Separating the LEDs for a different voltage is not something worthwhile or recommended. There are 12 volt DC LED floodlights available ready to go.

Because there are LEDS you can actually get them to run on almost any current input, BUT... connecting it to house current is kind of like taking a bicycle and running it with the engine from a dump truck. And it will cost you hundreds of dollars to connect a 40 dollar light. It just makes no sense. If, as one person observed, perhaps you want to run it off the low voltage of a landscape system then yes, you can do that BUT, the way this particular unit is assembled the batteries are enclosed within the housing of the lamp, so you cannot just connect the wire that is hanging out. You'd have to open the sealed case, de-solder some connections and attach the power wires. It would be simpler and cheaper to just buy a flood light made for your landscape lighting system. They are inexpensive and they are plug and play. Hope that helps you out.

I use this switch on a pair of 150 watt halogen flood lights, see the switch specs below - 50 watt will work just fine. Halogen comes under the official designation of incandescent. Wall Switch (WE-001); On/Off function on devices up to 1000W Works with incandescent, fluorescent and compact fluorescent lamps

I use 6 watt led bulb with no problem. Which is equivalent to 40 watt. Been using it for several months now works great! 60 watt should be just fine.

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

This not LED. A pair of flood lights go up in there. I bought Outdoor CFL floodlights. They are about 18 watts of power for a 75 watt bulb. You can put a pair of regular 75 watt outdoor bulbs in there. (They make indoor floodlights also.) I love my floodlight. It comes on at dusk and turns itself off at dawn. It illuminates my entire back yard. This was a very well constructed unit. It is a VERY sturdy unit. The product description states that it is made of plastic, but it is extremely tough. Good luck.

I do not believe you can wire this fixture into the low voltage outdoor lights. The fixture requires a 120v uninterrupted power supply.

You should be able to add lights up to approximately an 1800 watt limit based on a 15 amp/120 volt load for this equipment. Since the security lighting you refer to has twin LED floodlights, you should have no difficulty. LED's use less wattage than the old style floodlights.

You will need to get a power supply LED driver to run these lights. Depending on the length of the strip (number of lights) and the environment (outdoor or indoor location) you will need to select the best driver for your application. This is an example of a water proof supply I am using outside on out patio to drive a partial strip of lights (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FWO24US/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). If the entire strip of LEDs draws 1.7 - 2Amps at 12V, which would be 20-24 Watts, you could use a single 30W driver to power the entire strip.

Sure you can, they are 10 watt each. However these lights can't be used underwater as advertised. I have several and did get some replacements because they are not designed to work underwater. You need to encase them in something that I have not found yet. They mainly leak around the electrical grommet.

Yes. I use a BR40 LED flood light. Keep the bathroom bright, but without heat.

Since this is a 200 watt unit, it should be able to handle a total of 20 fixtures of 10 watts each (halogen walk lights). However, depending on the gauge and total run extent of the servicing cable, somewhat less would be supported. These limitations are nearly eliminated if you utilize newer LED bulbs.

Dear debbie 60 is the maximum wattage you can use. I've used florescent lamps anyway. Good luck

You can use up to 100 watt but I use 75. These are beautiful lights and they look great outdoors. I have been so happy with them at the front door and around the garage door. I thought the price was great but they look very expensive. Very glad I found them.
