What can I do about a wall switch for an overhead light if the socket doesn't have a neutral wire and the switch does?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) May 30th, 2012

Bought a new light switch. This new switch has a neutral wire. The socket does not have a neutral wire, only a ground wire (which I am told by the company is different). They told me get a new switch that doesn’t require a neutral tie in since I don’t have one.

Any other options? This is the light switch I prefer to use.
