I dont know if the spikes woud function that way.

All this is against the FIRST wiring rules - but it is interesting to think outside the box and gain some insite into how these devices operate.

BTW - I was pretty sure the original poster was asking if you could use either one, not both - but someone else would read this thread thinking we were saying you could use both, and would try it - so all this clarification is here for a good reason.
Thanks to everyone! Gracious Professionalism at its best!
