If the mount unit turns the light on, can the wired unit turn the light off? Does the wired unit need to be on always? Switches used Interchangeably?

Both units can turn the light on or off, just like two 3-way switches, at the top and bottom of a stairway. I assume the wired switch really doesn't have the switch itself wired to the light, but is just a second input to the electronic control. I bought a second set and have 2 remote switch and one wired unit, all working independently. You have to make sure the remote units are programmed to same code though. The code is on a sticker on the package.

It is supposed to work that way and does so when it works. It doesn't necessarily work properly. I find myself having to play with the switches to get them to turn on/off the lights

Here is my understanding of this switch set. The wall mounted unit has a solid state switch that is wired into the electric circuit being controlled. That switch can be turned ON or OFF by either the toggle mounted in that unit, or the remote push buttons. As another responder stated, the pair operates like a three way circuit. However, keep in mind that the solid state switch has leakage and is not to be used with florescent lights.

Yes, we can turn our light on or off with either the remote switch or the original regular switch.

Yes it can be trun light off, it is like a threeways switch and No, it don't have to be on always. It is very easy to install.. by taken out old toggle single pole switch and connect back like normal switch and that all. Only taken less than 15 min. Well worth! Hope this helps.

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.

It is a standard dual light fixture that may be run off of a switch is you desire that kind of control.It has a third hole (plugged by default) between the two lights where a light sensor can be wired in, and then it stays on when it is dark outside.The same third hole could also accommodate a motion detector, and then whatever kind of motion detector you select would control the lights.

The light we bought is not wired to a light switch. It is wired to an extension cord, wrapped in black electrical tape at the point of connection, then ran along the garage ceiling to the outlet in the ceiling. It turns on at dawn and off at dusk. If it's wired into a light switch, I don't know why you couldn't control it with that switch.

yes. there is a switch on the unit. i'm curious, tho, why would you want to limit the light?

The unit can be directly wired, at which time it is always "on" and all you have to do is depress the stopper. Our house is older and there is an off/on switch so we must have the switch in the "on" position and then push down on the stopper. I bought a switch lock which covers the wall switch so it is always in the "on" position.

If you wire this unit to that switch. The inside switch will turn this light on and off (along with any other wired to that inside switch). Only if the switch on the light unit is in the on position. This units switch only controls this individual light unit. It would not affect any other lighting connected to your inside switch.

I have both the wall mounted and 360 ceiling mount of lutron sensors - The wall mount has a button where light sensitivity is turned off and on - I don't recall it on the ceiling mount version however the installation manual found here says it does. http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/041341a.pdf SEE SECTION H

There is not an on/off switch or a dimmer switch directly on the light. It is hard wired.

I believe you can turn if off using the pin they provide you with to initially turn it on. To turn it ON you insert the pin in a small hole till it clicks. This is the ON position. Using the same pin you reinsert the pin into a different hole till you hear a click and it is OFF. The "holes" are marked ON/OFF and are easily found. Putting it in OFF disables the light. If you enable it again by turning it ON with the pin/hole it remains very dim at night. There is no simple switch to turn it on/off as the light seems it was designed to be on most of the time.

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

mine does not. It needs to be cycled back on... However, the unit can be sensitive to power surges and things like hair dryers turning on and off. Occasionally, you will just see the light turn on by itself. Not much of a problem, unless it goes on while you are away. I understand this is an issue with all switches that work on a conduction system. (like those lamps where you just touch the base and they turn on)

No manual switch on the fixture itself and it does come with bulbs. I have mine mounted on a flat surface but you may be able to find a different kind of mounting. My electrician installed three of these and I love them and bought 8 more. I have 10 acres in the woods so security was important but also the ability to enjoy the stars

There is a requirement for an installed plug. The units come with two switches, one is off and on the other is three way dim to bright. You have to have on/off switch for safety reasons. The wires are very thin. Hope this helps.

It must be hard wired, as the others have noted. It does have an on-off switch, however. It's the knob that you can see at the bottom of the round plate. That's why I bought it. It is at the bottom of a flight of stairs in our TV room. We can turn the light off when watching TV. The light rotates & can be pointed up or down.

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.

Mine is mounted to an outdoor entrance ceiling. The light does not turn on in daylight, it comes on with motion in the dark. It also has a timer you set for how long it will remain on after the motion detection leaves the detection zone. It also can be set up to favor a certain direction and distance of motion to turn the light on.
