And I need to wire it up. The direcitons say that it can not be used as a
replacement switch for a standard '2 wire' wall switch.
Does anyone know how I can wire this switch (or if they make a switch)
that is lit when the switch is "ON" (most are lit when they are off.)
Or do they make a switch to do this with just the standard 2 wire outlet.
(normal wall switches are just a 'hot' and 'return' line with no common.
Do I have to rewire the wall switch?
Thanks in advance.
