thanks for all the replies and way more information than I could =
process. The suggestion I liked the best was to just add a couple more =
fixtures and wire them directly to the lamp output circuit in the =
opener. I don=E2=80=99t want to learn a new type of electronics and I =
don=E2=80=99t have easy access to the existing wiring (floor above the =
ceiling... and I=E2=80=99m 71 years old.) You guys always come up with =
a way to do anything=20
!!!
thanks

any suggestions
