can this be used to operate a light if temp gets too low in house kind of like a warning that the furnace quit?

No, it sends a low voltage signal to the device. It could be done if you sent the signal to a relay that powered the 120 volt circuit

Thermostat requires 12 volts. It could run a light with some special components.

No. The switch is rated for the low voltage (24v) and current associated with a room thermostat. Although this device could be used to control an intermediate device which in turn could turn a light on or off.

I don't believe so, this switch couldn't even handle the power draw of my shop fan so I can't see it working on a heater unless it was only controlling the fan portion of the heater.

Yes - I use this light in my unheated garage and attic. Never had an issue.

It can be (mine is a gas stove), but only if there are no "active" pilot lights, and remember it can only be used if the stove top and oven are cold. Jo

Even when technically possible, I wouldn't advise to do it, as overall quality of the unit is not high and a higher inside temperature, generated by a higher wattage lamp, would easily ruin the unit. As an aside comment I installed 4 units in June 2014 and two of them are already broken (not functional at all) and the other two already need a bulb replacement

yes. it has 3 options: low heat, medium heat, and full power (low + medium on), and a mechanical thermostat. so, if you put it on a timer when turned on, it should work. one important thing to watch out for, though- heaters use a lot of power, so you'd want a timer that can handle that kind of service load. i think most timers are designed for lights and other low power loads.

I don't see why not. It's just turning a light on and off. It has a timer inside that you can set how long you want it to remain on.

No. I will basically give you an on/off for a light. Look for a light dimmer which regulates voltage.

If that were possible, then it wouldn't work. Think of it as testing the unit every time you come home. Or perhaps you could find some sort of remote control for an electrical outlet, designed to turn a lamp on or off, and carry that with you to turn off power to the unit when you come home. But if there is such a thing, be sure it isn't using light for the control, like a TV remote does.

Yes, you can, and by the way, it's a very powerful but still silent fan, the heater has it's own fan and only operates with the heater on. My unit does not have a light but it is available also.
148166
Yes, if the light is on an outlet. I use it to turn on a desk fan remotely in my motor home.

I don't believe the temp. control goes down that far. You would have to bypass the automatic temp. control, not sure that is a good idea, I am not an electrician.

Absolutely NOT!! This light is a 12 volt DC unit. Household voltage is 115-130 volts and would fry this light resulting in a lot of smoke and crackles. Unless you have a 12 volt power supply that will rectify or convert the household voltage to 12 volt DC.

I would say no. The light is controlled by the switch, a timer contained with the switch keeps the fan running for the number of minutes you set. For what you want to do I would suggest an electrician. I have never encountered a switch that does what you want. Best to consult a professional if only for safety.

Yes, only if (1) the on-off switch (at the bottom right) is set to on positions, and (2) the thermostat (at the bottom left) is turned. In other words, the light lights up when the heater and the fan are actively operating. It's a good system. I like it.

There is no on-off switch and the temp. range only goes down to 40'F so the electricity would have to be turned off in the circuit.

I think so. I am not in the house with the fan right now, but I think you click off the light on the left side by the temperature. I am not 100% certain so I apologize in advance if that does not work for you.
