We have a summer cabin and outside lights are controlled by a switch in garage. Can this be used to turn those lights on from our car

I use the wireless remote from inside the car and house to turn on the lights in my garage and/or my out building. Range varies but it seems fine out to 125 feet depending on location of shielding materials (studs and wires). You might want to combine the switch with a Heath/Zenith SL-6019 wireless motion sensor system to give you control of lights inside and/or outside the garage. ... approach garage and external light(s) come on ... enter garage internal light(s) come on.

We're able to turn on my mother's porch light from the street, approximately 35 feet away.

I don't see why not. Worse case, you can always return it. We love ours my wife uses one and I the other. We are about 20 feet from the wall switch that the controller is hooked into.

You can but the light attracts bugs so if you put it right outside the garage door, that's where the bugs will go. In theory the further away from you put it the further away the bugs will be.

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

I am not certain about this. I use it only for my porch and outside garage lights. Sorry; I wish I could have been of more help.

Maybe using a different controller/switch box you could. But don't waste your time. I ultimately ended up getting a "real" LED light set for my vehicle. The Koolertron product line functions as advertised, but falls a little short of being satisfactory.

I am not sure if it will work the way you want it to. I am using it as a dimmer switch for a lamp.

Yes, that is how I am using it. It is also able to work from my fife's car when she comes home in the rain and lights our drives way. From inside or outside as needed. Just plan ahead.

I have one of these sensors connected to a dual floodlight mounted above and between the doors of my two-car garage and it works fine to illuminate the short double-wide driveway leading from the street to the garage. I'm not sure how it would with your decorative lighting as it is intended to screw into the mount for the dual floodlight unit; but I'd bet a qualified electrician could connect some wiring (possibly through a conduit) to another lamp away from the dual floodlight unit it's intended for.

Yes. There is a button on the switch plate, at the receiver, that you press to turn the light on or off. This unit has worked flawlessly since I installed it, about a year ago. Light and receiver are located in a outdoor shed about 120 feet from house . It is used almost nightly in winter to turn the lights on from the house.

Any 6-12DC power connection activates the strobe light. But check the specs, the circuitry may not be protected for outdoor installation. You would know best about connection hardware in your application.

I would day it is best to use a relay, unless youuse aheavy dutyswitch. Most switches are not designed to handle a load running through them, even though these lights only use about 5 amps to run both.

You would have to wire in two switches to each pair of lights to do so. The control box has just one button that you have to hold down to make work. I swapped the button to wire in a switch to have an on all the time or off

Yes it can be. simplest way is to cover the light sensor and it works as regular switch light.

Do you know if you are going to wire this like a normal exterior light or would you be wanting to attach a plug and plug it in a socket on the exterior of the garage like a security light? If you want this like outside your front door, it would probablybe wired and attached to the exterior of your house and connected to a switch on the interior by your front door. Then it could work with a switch. Personally, if you wanted one by your front door, I'd put up a more decorative, maybe even motion-type light. this is really more of a security light, sleak and attractive, but more security.

I have something like what you want to do in my shop. The way I have this controller set up has it in between the panels and a battery. No switch so it charges whenever the sun is out. I put a simple rotary switch (like on a table lamp) on the line to the LEDs and turn them on and off when needed.

No you cannot. We bought parts at Radio Shack and made our own switch allowing us to control on/off for each light.

I believe it would work provided the switch on the light was left in the ON position, your porch switch would then control power to the light. There is an identical light on Amazon that has a motion sensor in it that is advertised as a porch light. You may want to look at that one too.
