oops, i take back my comment about the switch in the picture. it is wired correctly, with the load coming off of the top of the switch box. the site made a reference to switched recepticles, and i thought that was what the picture was supposed to show. i thought the switch was wired with the black as the hot and the white as the swithed wire, which is fine, unless you connect the white to the neutral bar in the easy wire box

UL does not approve equipment.
Equipment is
UL Listed
Or
UL Classified

I was at the easy-wire site before it was a subject here. At that time it only said that the item was "Approved" and has since changed. Hey, they are listening to your comments.

Um, er, uh, I didn't exactly see that wire exiting out of the top of the switch box in the picture at first; it does look fine after all. That red on my face isn't sunburn...
I'm still sticking to my guns about the UL thing, though.
No wire bias here- I'm standing on neutral ground.

Sir arcsalot, you would loose that gun fight cowboy. I was at the Northbrook, IL. testing laboratory to personally watch the tests and over all it took 5 years for the setup work and testing to get there approval. That means you get the right to use there trademark on your product, listed means you pay to have a file that is kept on there records and it is updated quarterly. This is the strongest box I could build.

To eswets, It took 3 yrs to get a patent, 4 yrs to develope, design, and manufacture. It took 5 yrs to get a U.L. listing and it will take awhile longer to get people to try it, but I believe in it and I am extremely proud of it.

Which part of the NEC would govern the length of extension the conductors must maintain? Doesn't the sheathing of the non metallic cable seem to exceed the amount of length permitted by the NEC? In addition, if this apparatus was mounted flat would that compromise the UL listing? I would imagine that could be pretty bright if someone happened to drop a screwdriver or razor knife across those terminals. The box may be more practical with an integral disconnecting means.

Right from the UL Web Site. "UL approved" is not a valid term used to refer to a UL Listed, UL Recognized or UL Classified product under any circumstance. There are a number of requirements and guidelines that should be followed to accurately communicate a product's UL certification. To learn more about these guidelines, please order the free informational brochure, "Show the UL Mark" by accessing our Request Form for Informational Materials. http://www.ul.com/faq/terminology.html Don't get me wrong, I would try the product my only point is I do not believe UL wants you to use the phrase UL approved.
