 I have some LED bulbs that seem to have a slight delay before they turn on, is this to be
expected?
It may depend on the bulb. If the dimmer is programmed to have the soft on and off feature
enabled, which fades the lights on and off as opposed to abruptly turning them on like a regular
switch, there could be a slight delay before some bulbs will turn on. While most will operate
fine with the soft on and off and changes to dimmer settings, some bulbs have a built in delay
during those events and it may take a moment before they will turn on or respond to changes
in dimmer settings.
 What will happen if I mix bulb types with the Decora Digital Dimmer?
It is strongly recommended that the same light source be used to achieve consistent
performance from bulb to bulb. Keep in mind that different LED bulbs may have different color
temperatures and dimming ranges. If you choose to mix bulb types on the same dimmer it is
possible that you will experience a variation in dimming performance and start up
characteristics.
Device De-rating and Maximum Bulb Wattage
 Is de-rating required when installing more than one Decora Digital device in the same
wallbox?
If you install more than one device in the same wallbox, you may need to de-rate or reduce the
load that each device can control. De-rating may be necessary based on the type of bulb you
are controlling. Incandescent and Magnetic Low Voltage bulbs require de-rating. De-rating is
not required when using dimmable LED or dimmable CFL bulbs in multi-dimmer installations.
Refer to the de-rating chart in the instructions for maximum load per dimmer.
