Outdoor spaces require weather-resistant outlets
with a weatherproof cover.
Adding or updating the power on your patio or deck is a great
idea – just make sure you are selecting one with proper safety
features. Weather-resistant products are UL498 rated to
protect against temperature changes and wet environments.

Know when 20A receptacles and
outlets are required.
In certain regions, including Canada and
Chicago, 20A switches and outlets may be
required. Please check your local guidelines
in these areas to guarantee you are code
compliant for resale home inspections. Also,
if you are powering certain appliances, like
garbage disposals or dishwashers, with their
own breaker, the outlet or switch should be
20A.
Don’t forget a wall plate.
Designer switches from the adorne
and radiant Collections help you add
personalized style with their broad
selection of wall plates. Coordinate with
your switches or outlets from the same
Collection, and make sure to select a
wall plate with the correct gang count.
Update to safer tamper-resistant outlets.
Tamper-resistance outlets feature a patented
shutter system that protects children by
preventing improper insertion of foreign
objects. If your home was built before 2008,
you might not have tamper-resistant outlets.
Consider upgrading to eliminate unsightly
outlet covers.
Make it easier with vacancy and
occupancy sensors.
Sensors mean never again having to worry
if you left the light on. Occupancy sensors
automatically turn the lights ON when
someone enters the room, and OFF when
they exit, while vacancy sensors only turn the
lights OFF when the room is vacant.
Mix regular switches with
smart switches.
You can use various types of
switches throughout a project,
and even within the same bank of
lights. Consider mixing smart and
standard switches to customize
your lighting control to your
needs. Also, remember that smart
switches always come with a single-
gang wall plate!

Set the scene with the right dimmer.
Dimmers help you fine tune your environment for your specific
mood or activity. Many dimmer switches are created to dim
specific bulb types, so if you are uncertain of your lamp or bulb
type, we recommend you order the radiant or adorne Tru-
Universal Dimmer. These were designed to work with virtually
any dimmable bulb. However, you must have a neutral wire in
your electrical box, which is typically white or neutral color.
