Can anyone provide the LUX, candle-light intensity, it will provide when used? I need it as an alternative to hard-wiring an EXIT sign in a small room that has an outlet next to the door, to pass fire codes.

I see nothing listed contact the manufacturer. You can give it a shot but doubt it will pass any fire code its is not intended for that. I do not think it is bright enough.

Probably not. The Lux is strictly low voltage--uses two AA batteries (3 volts DC), and only two wires. Your Automag with three wires likely uses 24 volts AC (from a doorbell transformer), and the relay switch in your furnace likely needs 24 volts to operate.

There's a python API for the lights here: https://github.com/therivenman/pygop , and a Java control here: http://home.stockmopar.com/connected-by-tcp-unofficial-api/ . Neither is official, but I used the Python API to connect the lights to my Nest fire alarm through IFTTT and it works fine. With scripting, you can likely connect the lights to about anything. I believe you still need the gateway to relay the commands to the actual bulbs though.

The standard wiring that comes with the unit is not designed to be hard wired, but if you have electrical know how, you can make the alterations successfully. I am not sure how that would impact any electrical code compliance. As for dimming, the instructions warn the user NOT to use it with a dimming circuit.

I have not really tested it so I can not say. We have been leaving one light on for background lighting for birthday candles and that has worked very well however. Sorry.

I can't explain how to measure the light and how it works in this small place, you can google it. The value reading on this measure is LUX, you don't need to use any conversions, you can read Lux value directly on the screen, but I have to tell you that the value is not accurate compare to the good one. Mine have problem after 1st week using it.

It's not meant to illuminate a room by itself, if that helps to answer your question. Obviously, the higher the lumens/watts. the brighter it will be. Hope that helps?

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.

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.

With full batteries it will light up a medium sized room quite nicely. I mean, it will still be dimly lit, but it beats the heck out of candles, and less dangerous too. I once brought this light over to a Peace Corps friends house, turned it on, and she said, "Wow! It's like a real light!" (none of us had power : ) ). Something to keep in mind with this light is there is a small green LED on the side which flashes every 5 seconds or so to help you find it in the dark. It's a very small power drain but it IS still a drain so if you're storing the light for months and months at a time it's best to do it with the batteries - or at least one battery - out.

I rewired mine to make it a plug in then added a extension cord dimmer switch and it lights up the room very well. I have it as a hanging chandelier over a lounge chair that I use for reading so I needed the brightness. I am sure it will give you the brightness you are looking for but the dimmer gives it more flexibility.

Yes, the two uses are feasible. It is a matter of positioning the light to pick up movement, turning the light on. I use the light to illuminate my hallway at night when I go to the bathroom.

Tried to use it in low lighting outside recently and could not figure out how to get light (helps to read the manual ahead of time!). Later figured out that there is a low lux setting, which I have learned how to use...simple change in settings....but haven't tried it out yet.

You should be able to set the illimination (brightness) on your panel. It can go from dim to no lighting. *6, then code, then the > key (believe it has 3 settings, push the key for desired affect), then # to exit.

I don't knos the lumens output but I certainly believe this would work well in that function. The light is bright and certainly is revealing. It will not light an entire room but I think it will complement the ceiling light well

In my case, we needed temporary light at a lectern without electrical access. It worked fine for us for that purpose. Perhaps others interested in art illumination are more concerned with price than "true light."
