Is this receptical rated for use in a 15 amp curcuit? or is it limited to light bulbs only?

It's rated up to 10 amps. The description says up to 1/3 horsepower motors which is normal for a residential garage door opener. I don't have one of these units, but most of them have a fuse or fusible link so they won't catch fire if overloaded. A 1/3 HP motor wouldn't use anywhere near 10 amps except in a stall state (when the motor has power to it but is jammed --> overloaded).

The name plate of the remote units indicate "Tungsten Only, 240 Watts, or, 10 Amps resistive load. That means no motors or similar type units can be controlled by this unit.

Honestly I'm mot sure. I did take apart the switch unit to see if there were posts to change the frequency. When I opened it I noticed the main board was a very cheaply made one materials wise. I would wager the seller intends low amp and voltage for the unit. Im not an electrician but I do know computers. Im basing my guess on personal observations.

Check out here first:http://www.lampsplus.com/light-bulbs/This lamp takes any type of bulbs that has same interface as the "standard household Incandescent A-type light bulb". On the sticker it says "MAX 15W medium base type A". So if you want to use standard household A-type bulb, maximum power is 15W because the lamp top is made of plastic and high power bulbs will melt the top. I'm using a 60W LED Bi-directional LED bulb from COSTCO and it's fantastic.

Manufacturer's rating is 300W / 2.5A maximum load. It is *NOT* for high current applications. I use it for controlling exterior lights on a detached garage.Look here:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91WEInllQDS.pdf

There is a wattage limitation so first check the specifications. The other thing to be aware of is the depth of the bulb, you have to be sure it can reach the receptacle.

I have it on a shared 15 amp circuit with the other lights in the same bathroom and no issues. It's really no different than having multiple ceiling lights on in a kitchen depending on wattage.

None. The AC input works with 120v i.e. any energy line in the US. The ligh bulbs consume 10W.

It's rated for 15 amp circuits and provides no tamper-proof protection, but since it's intended for wall mounting presumably for TV installtions, why include it.

Well.... Sort of. I connected it to a ceiling fan with three 5w LED bulbs and it flickered. I then replaced just one of the bulbs with a conventional incandescent bulb and it worked fine. My guess is that there is a minimum load level that has to be there for it to work properly. A 15w load was apparently too small, but when I added a 25w incandescent bulb that increased the load, it worked fine. So if you have a load over 15 watts, it should work with dimmable LED bulbs. As for compact fluorescents, I have no experience there. I do know that the bulbs would have to be specifically labeled "dimmable" for you to even have a chance for it to work. I suspect that you'd still need a load greater than 15w like what I had to create with the LED bulbs. Hope this helps...

I use it with one 75-watt incandescent bulb. I believe that as long that you don't pass the limited watts, you'll be fine.

This socket is rated at 150 watt maximum so I think your good to go, however don't use a shade just the bulb that way heat will disapate.

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

I am not at home, can not look it up, but will tell you what I know. It has at least two standard 120v extensions. I am not sure about the amperage, but we have one hooked up to a 100watt bulb. I believe both extensions are of equal power rating. Hope this helps.

this will work in any standard ac 120volt fixture as long as the fixture is wired for 12 volts. I have installed this and other led bulbs at the Bamboo Village Hawaii Learning Center development and am happy to say that this technology lights bright and decreases load requirements significantly. Therefore I will be demonstrating this as my choice for solar solutions to my visitors.

The rateing of 15amps refers to the appliance being rated not the outlet rating. If what you want to measure is rated at 1800 watts or less it will measure the useage. Look on the appliance if it says 1800 watts or less, or, if it is rated at 15amps or less it will work. Hope this helps

Yes. You plug the light into the ballast and the ballast into the outlet. If you're gonna use a timer make sure it's a 15 amp.

The MLCS 9400 should work, but as a general rule, it's not a good idea to run a device at it's maximum rating, in this case 15 amps. I would suggest buying the MLCS 9410 which is rated at 20 amps just to be on the safe side.

I believe they use a 55 watt bulb, so at 12 volts, that's a bit under 5 amps. I use 2 of them on a 10amp fused circuit, hasn't blown yet.
