Came across one of these by accident at Lowe's- didn't know they sold them. My high school had them in the hallways and I used to switch them with a guitar pick or small screwdriver. After much thought of where it would be possible to use this (almost all my switches are 3-way, and this one isn't), I decided install this to control my workbench and over-car-hood fluorescent lights (two 2x40w T12 & 2x75w slimline) which, for some reason, are on a dedicated 20-amp breaker. So, I can switch them "commercial style," either with the key switch or the breaker. When removing the old (normal) switch, I discovered the NM cable went straight through the box, with just enough cut out of it to expose the black wire which went to the switch terminals. The neutral & ground wires were kept uncut & sheathed. Never saw that before, but I kept it that way. |

To resist is to piss in the wind, anyone who does will end up smelling. |

Don't be fooLED, T8 IS the worst thing to do to a magnetic T12 fixture. |
