We may be using differing definitions of what a "two wire system" is Frank.

It's generally used to say that 120 volt power distribution throughout
the home takes place over two wires ("hot" and "neutral") without a
third "ground" conductor running along with them.

Or, you could be using the term to tell us that there's only two wires
inside the box the switch is going to be in, in which case one of the
wires will be "hot" and the other will be going to the tip side of the
light bulb socket(s). If there's no other wires in that box then you are
in fact SOL. But, if there's a neutral (usually colored white) wire
inside that box you should be OK connecting the third terminal of your
piloted switch to it. (If the switch *doesn't* have three terminals on
it we're still not on the same wavelength yet. G.

Please make sure you know what you're about with this stuff, Frank;
switch off the breaker or remove the fuse feeding that circuit before
starting work, and seek experienced help if you aren't confident about
doing it yourself.

HTH,

Jeff
