Can I use this for a regular closet light 120V to turn the light on when we open the door?

No...it is only for 12 volt or so and direct current, not Alternating Current and 120volt. Also, although I am not sure, it (the magnetic switch) can only carry small current...the amount used in burglar alarm sensors, etc. Your bulb would draw way too much current. Search for a switch rated for 120 volt, AC, and at 2 - 3 amps. Not sure if they make one that is activated with a magnet...you can search...or maybe use something like a refrig switch (that turns on and off light when you open the door).

No. This is rated for 12V, and even then the one that I ordered fried on the first day of use in a 12V application exactly similar to yours (except using LEDs). I would recommend a different brand of prox switch all together.

This switch is designed for low voltage and low current applications. Use in house 120vac ckts would be unsafe and would not meet code.

Yes as long as you put only 110-120 volts & no more than 15 amps. The output is only 15 amps from the switch.

120v, you should know that this unit is for very light work, very light work (hint, hint)

Absolutely NOT!! This light is a 12 volt DC unit. Household voltage is 115-130 volts and would fry this light resulting in a lot of smoke and crackles. Unless you have a 12 volt power supply that will rectify or convert the household voltage to 12 volt DC.

I used this switch in my island counter cabinet as well. This switch operates on 12v. You have to buy a 12v light fixture of your choice with its own power source. This switch will just activate it when door is open. I bought an under cabinet light from ikea.

Yes if you are using a incadescent lamp. I would recommend putting the dimmer on the 120v side as they are easy to come by. The 120v electronic (Triac/Diac) are inexpensive.

No need to to convert, work on 120v. And this light sure looked beautiful when light up.

This would work for low voltage sources like LEDs. If you wanted to use it with 120v, you'd need to pair it with a relay switch like this one: Amprobe RC-120S Closet-Type Remcon Relay Switch

Yes it will work on 120vac, this switch is a double pole switch but can be used as a single pole switch.

Don't think so. I live in the US and use 120. I checked but didn't see any stickers indicating it was a dual voltage light. Sorry, it's a nice light.

My husband says you can't use this light in a 220 home. However, he said maybe an electrician could somehow convert it. Sorry, that's all I know. Good luck wherever you are. I'm in Oregon, USA.

I do not believe so. The wiring is setup for 110V and the bulb is 110v. I am not an electrician however and I cannot comment on what it would take to make it 220 V

I don't think so. I plug in to a 110 outlet. The light switch is on/off with no switch for voltage

Yes if it lamp is designed to run on standard house current (usually 115-120V).

Absolutely. Remember, the light only goes on when you open the door. Besides, the light does not use very much electricity, nor I'm sure, your TV isn't always on constantly.

I'm sorry I do not know. We purchased it to use in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom as the light switch is not conveniently located. So this, a motion sensing light bulb (also Amazon order) and we open the closet door--light on.

I didn't measure the voltage when I replaced this switch, but I assume it is 120. If it is, I think you could use it like any other switch.
