Changing the color of your Dimmer

If a color change kit is provided with your device, proceed with the following

step before wiring the device if you need to change the color. Otherwise,

proceed with the "Installing Dimmer by itself or with other devices" section.

In incandescent multi-dimmer installations,

the reduction of the dimmer’s capacity is

required. Refer to the chart for maximum load

per dimmer. No derating is required for use in

dimmable CFL or dimmable LED multi-dimmer

installations.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

• When multiple bulbs are used with one dimmer DO NOT mix bulb types. All bulbs shall be either LED; CFL

or incandescent. Using the same make/model of each bulb will enhance performance.

• Use only one (1) dimmer in a 3 or 4-way circuit. The switch(es) will turn the light on at the brightness level selected

at the dimmer.

receptacle, a motor or a transformer-operated appliance, or any other lighting sources than those speciﬁed.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:

• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off

before wiring or servicing ﬁxture!

• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH: use with compatible dimmable LED and CFL bulbs, incandescent or 120V

halogen ﬁxtures only. For a complete list of compatible LED and CFL bulbs refer to www.leviton.com/universal.

• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.

• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult an electrician.

• Use this device with copper or copper clad wire only.
