I bought this to control my dock light. By describing itâs used for factory lights/street lights I assumed would work with AC. Was I misled?

No you were not deceived; however I used the unit for DC powered light and the unit worked for only 2 days when it failed. I ended up buying a more expensive unit with great success.

The one I have has only a 12 volt DC input and 12 volt DC output when they refer it being ac this is not the case they do build one with AC in and AC out its only water resistant only when the dome is installed upright or you could use good silicone around the seal watch your voltage rating when buying the AC one and if you use it with soar panels for 12volt lighting run it thru a solar regulator that has a load out on the regulator or it will burn up the 12DC light swiich

As I understand it the controlling coil is rated for 12vdc. The switch itself is rated for up to 250vac 10a. So while it will control a ac/dc light the relay coil can only take 12vdc. 12vac will probably not be able to pick up the relay.

I'm sorry ... NO... I hardwired a ac to dc power supply to make my mine work in my home application, and YES it does work then and might say I've been using mine for a year now and works great. the dc power supply costs very cheap just splice it and wire it up. but to your first question the unit is an dc application and is a dc unit but can be for ac application with a power application.

I hope I answer your question. This is installed in civic dome light, drawing on 12v. Just an fyi, the connectors are very flimsy. It works, just need to position connections exact.

this particular model is designed for use with a vehicle's cigarette lighter...mine is AC/DC for the home. Sorry.

I don't use this meter for ac work. I checked the meter and the info I got with the meter ( which is not much). But it will not do what you want . sorry not much help. Bill

can't be right. mine works great. runs all the ac on my boat. you could call the co to confirm, but i don't see it on my amp meter when everything is off

For the money it is pretty heavy duty, I would think it would work with AC but I cannot be positive. I was only using mine temporarily so I guess I could give it a try and let you know.

If you connect the dimmer control between the power source and the splitter or a single light bar it should work just fine. Try both setups to see if the splitter is the problem. If you get only an on/off response or nothing at all with that connection I am sure Lightwiki will quickly replace your dimmer control. Just so you know, my entire system worked great right out of the box and is still working fine. Mike

if you have outlets wired to a switch inside a building [much like house outlets for Xmas lights] then you should be able to to do that. The AC cord has a rocker switch to turn light on and off. I found the rocker switch to be of poor quality and I need to find a better replacement. Sign itself has been reliable and clear to see. It's not weather proof by any means. Hope that helps.

I don't know... what ever you do, you have to make sure you are feeding DC current to the strip of LED's. Since this dimmer is made for AC and not DC curernt, it may not work.

John, when I hooked mine up I simply one of the two AC lines that went to the light bulb. This spring loaded switch is only an 'interrupter'. It performs the same way as if you cut one line to your closet line each time you closed the door and then re-spliced that line when you opened your door. What I'm saying is that it does not matter which of the two AC wires you tap into, this switch just opens and closes the circuit

Just wanted you to know that the wiring on this thing is backward, at least as far as the DC part is concerned. I don't use the AC part. In other words, it only works when you hook your DC input (battery) to the output side, and your output to the side marked "battery." The printed instructions that came with this item is wrong. If you hook it up according to the manual, it will not work.

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.

I would NOT NOT NOT recommend this - I use this with fluorescent lights and it missed over half of the start / stop times which are extremely important... Unless you are going to be around each day/night you want these to turn on and make sure they turn on and off at the proper times, I would NOT buy this... I actually use an old school one where you have to push the little button in on the side to tell it when to turn on and off and I havent have one problem yet... This is an instance in where technology is not better.

This devise works by plugin in outlet, if your main light is connected to outlet then only this will work, otherwise not.

No. I used it for parking lot lights for luninanaire survey. It works fine.

This is a single gang box controller that can turn on and off two different lights or items depending on how you use it. Be careful to make sure that the automation software or hub that you are using is compatible with it. Something like the ADT pulse would not recognize this. There are plenty of automation setups out there that recognize it but you will have to put some effort into it. Depending on your automation setup you should see two (2) separate "on/off switch" devices and a "scene controller" device . Best regards.
