Damn!

Given that many other posters gave the same opinion, I guess I'm toast
unless I upgrade the wiring - and I'm not really keen on doing that....

So I will follow your suggestion and look for a motion detector switch.
If that gets me some $$ refunded as well, then that would be a good
thing too.

As an aside - my ISP recently ditched their news server, and so I've
had to find another means to access usenet. I signed up to Google
Groups a few months back, but have ended up just lurking in my
favourite groups. Until now. So this was my first ever post from my
new account, as well as a first ever to al.home.repair. I have to say
I am mightily impressed with the speed, usefulness and general civility
of the posts I've received. Better than I had any hopes for.

Thanks to all for your replies!

Dave - Don't despair - That switch sound pretty nice. You said this was
a utility room, right? If so, can you see the wire from the switch to
the light or does it run in a finished wall? Do you think you would be
able to fish a different, or new, wire from your light to your switch?
If you could get a different wire there then we could get that thing
working for you.
