User questions & answers

Question:	Is it possible to use this, then have it turn off after 4 hours? If so, what needs to be added? Can a time clock device be added? If so, how
Answer:	Have you noticed that this unit does not work if the outside temperature--at dusk--is below 40 degrees F? I used the one shown at left and had that experience. Changed the bulb (at large expense) without the desired result. Bought the so-called "outdoor" version, same result. Works fine above 40 degrees F.
Question:	Length of wires
Answer:	A fluorescent light may blink or the illumination appear to travels up the bulb. An incandescent (filament) bulb should light steadily. A LED light may behave like a incandescent bulb. OR you have a defective Woods device. Try different types of bulbs in it and determine if any of them give a steady light. I believe that the Woods device does not product a full, AC, 115 volt, rms waveform. The fluorescent bulb does have a steady glow of the gas that stimulates the phosphors that coat the inside of the fluorescent bulb. The phosphors glow is unsteady as a result. John Horner
Question:	Can i use to control seven lights wich depends on only a one switch ? Can i use with led bulbs lights
Answer:	Polarized extension cord - yes. No dual outlet options.
Question:	what dose the red wire attach to
Answer:	No

User questions & answers

Question:	can someone please explain how exactly these sensors wire up ,,maybe a video or just plain simple instructions ,,thanks
Answer:	This is the modified wave inverter,and this inverter can work with most non-inductive loads less than 2000Watts,but for some inductive loads with coil winding like: refrigerator,air-conditioner, microwave oven and so on,their instantaneous power in startup phase is 6-7 times bigger as it’s working power.It will be likely to be overloaded.So we suggest that you choose the pure wave inverter is better.
Question:	What is width of round portion. I need a round portion smaller than 11/16 th inch
Answer:	For the 8.5A 110V compressor,because its start power is very higher,the better choose the 2000W pure sine wave inverter. B07VSTPZMC
Question:	Does this work in 3 way switching circuit
Answer:	We have tested 900W microwave by 2000W pure sine wave inverter,it is OK, the ASIN B07VSTPZMC for your reference
Question:	Says 5/8 npt? threads measure 26? anyone know a fastener that’s 26? metric will not work not even close
Answer:	It is not necessary to use lubricant before every use,I usually lube it once a month.
