Okay, here is an update on the light install. I made it out to my friends house, and on the way stopped by Lowes. I picked up a Lutron remote controlled light switch and some 'old work' electrical boxes. My plan was to install a new outlet box upstairs where I could install the fancy light...

I'm assuming right now, but I will verify once I get there. I do know, from what she's told me, that there is a circuit breaker that feeds the upstairs spare bedroom and utility light. She said there is nothing else on the circuit. I'm hoping to get everything together before i go there...

Hi TOOGMC, thank you for the suggestion. I think that receiver is to large to fit in the lamp neck. And i'm sure this light gets pretty hot too, so that would concern me a little. It would in a "damp" location too. But since you mentioned it, I'm seeing that skylink makes receivers(single...

I think she's only going to use the light when she goes outside or when she leaves the house at night. So really it's just going to be used like a "super" porch light. The dawn/dusk feature is kinda an unnecessary feature in the case. Yeah, I wanna keep it simple too, but convenient. What...

Okay, so the more I think about this, the more ideas I keep getting. This is a project I am helping a friend with that lives over 100 miles away, so I want to have this figured out before I go there. I'm a little vague with the details since i"m not there, But i'm assuming that the wire...

Hey I like that. The only problem is I would have to go upstairs to turn the switch on/off. But no, the switch doesn't have to be outside. I'm also considering a remote controlled switch. It would be awesome if they had a remote controlled combo receptacle like the one you posted.

This is a couple pics of what I am installing. It is a honeywell light model# MA0201-17SC

:shocking: I believe the existing wire running to the light is tapped into a outlet on the opposite side of the wall (upstairs level). I could replace that outlet with a GFCI outlet. The light itself is a Honeywell MA0201-17SC . It says it is suitable for wet locations. The switch itself...

I said this was a floodlight but technically it's a utility light.

I am replacing an existing flood light with a new 45 watt dusk-to-dawn LED floodlight. It is mounted on a brick wall of the house. A constant hot wire comes through a hole in the brick and is connected directly to the existing light. I want to be able to turn the new light off occasionally, so...
