It's a few months old.

First $90.00 (plus Shipping and C.O.D.) takes it all.

I'm not going to sell it by parts, it's not worth the time and aggravation.

Reason for selling, not true rocker switches.
They don't make true rockers that are not dimmers.
For the once a week I could use it with the Pronto it was not worth it. And it was the tip of the iceberg to do it completely.

Just to clarfiy . . "True rocker" non-dimming switches are now available. We have them in stock. They have an ultra quiet relay unlike other non-dimming switches and can be used for incandescent lights, ceiling fans, or fluorescent fixtures. The switch is rated for 1200 watts at 10A, and come with ivory and white trim kits.

Thanks robert, maybe I'll reconsider X-10

Who makes them and how much are they approx?

They are made by Leviton and are about $90.

I asked about the true rocker at smarthome.com. They have one (model 2206) but it requires both wires, black and white...nuts...

Russ:

The Smarthome switch you mention is not a "true rocker" switch. A "true rocker" switch responds like this:

Press the top of the switch and it rocks upward and either turns the light on, or brightens it.

Press the bottom of thd switch and it rocks downward and either turns the light off, or dims it.

The 2206 switch you mentioned does not rock, it cycles on/off with each press. This type of switch action might be completely acceptable to some people, but for some it is not.

BTW, are you sure you don't have a neutral wire in your wall switch box? Even though standard wall switches do not require a neutral wire, many home builders run neutral wires to the switch box and tie them together in the back of the box with a wire nut. The wire color is usually white.

We sell several types of switches designed for fluorescent lights and motors. We have the one that you mentioned, and the one that is a "true rocker".

Robert,
Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, the one fluorescent ceiling light I have only has the black wire in it. I know cuz I wired it.. dang....

Russ

Russ:

One other thought. You might be able to tap into a neutral wire in a nearby wall receptacle.
