I would like to use this to replace a toggle switch that controls lights in the room. Would this product work and can I install it in the same box the toggle switch was in?
Photocell controls are for really designed for exterior use. They are activated by light levels and nothing else. If you want to replace a wall switch for interior lighting, you might want to consider using an OCCUPANCY SENSOR or a WALL TIMER. These kinds of HOME AUTOMATION devices are perfect for turning on the lights when someone is in the room.

I have a long hallway and would like to install two, three or four motion detector switches to operate overhead fluorescent lights. I would like to know: 1. Can this switch accommodate three or more different locations in the hall? 2. I would like these switches to ALWAYS be activated by motion and not be possible for them to be disabled. 3. How many amps will they carry? (how many fluorescent lights at what wattage?) Thanks for your help. G
You can most certainly install the WSD - MOTION DETECTOR SWITCH in you hallway in multiple locations. You only need one at each end and other can be bypassed so the lights don't accidentally get turned off. So, if you have a three way or four way system, it will work fine.

Can you install two dimmers, one each on opposite entries to a room, for one set of lights? Many thanks
If you use the LUTRON MAESTRO DIMMER CONTROLS you can most certainly dim the lights from both ends. One end has the MAESTRO DIMMER CONTROL and the other has a MAESTRO SMART REMOTE CONTROL.

We installed door light switch with the
fluorescent light. Problem.. the
fluorescent light did not turn on fast enough. Is it because of the door jamb in low voltage?
Fluorescent lights are not considered a good choice for instant on applications using a
DOOR JAMB SWITCH. They are really designed to be left on for extended periods of time. Turning them off and on over time weakens the electrodes and causes them to ultimately fail. You might consider switching to an incandescent fixture or upgrading your fixture to one with an electronic ballast.
