Silversop Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Hello, I can not find an insteon outdoor flood light... Is anyone using one that would be compatable with the ISY994i? Regards S
Teken Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 Can you use any motion flood light so long as it doesn't use dual bright technology and mate it with a Insteon Micro On/Off module: http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2443-222-micro-on-off-module.html
Silversop Posted April 13, 2016 Author Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks Teken.... Or.. shit I guess I can just change the wall switch itself... Didn't even think of that... thanks!

Regards, S For sure and if you decide to go fancy use a KPL dimmer instead. You are spending some cash might as well get some multi-use out of it and be able to control other outdoor loads or have access to ones you didn't before.
Jay Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Teken, what was the issue with dual bright? I've been using a KPL for a few years on my dual-bright incandescent porch lights (on/off, not dim). The dual bright is a local setting on the lamps along with the motion and/or dusk dawn. I'm curious. Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would not operate properly due the fact the line voltage would not drop off as expected.
Jay Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Ahhh thanks. I see the problem now in relation to the online / micro versus a standard SwitchLINC or KPL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
stusviews Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Dual-brites can be contoller using an Inston controller, but they don't apply enough voltage to trigger an Insteon sense wire even at the high level.
