Q: QuestionHello, I have a ceiling light that’s hardwired to an LED capable motion switch, can I use this bulb for the ceiling light? Thanks

Asked 2 years ago by Robert.

• A:Answer I would not recommend it. For the product to work properly it needs to have a constant flow of power, meaning the circuit would need to remain in the on position. This is so that wireless module is always on and the product can accept commands even if its turned off.
