Leviton Dimmers

Basic Facts Built-in filters that prevent radio intereference created by dimmers. Leviton filters are designed to prevent even the largest lighting loads from interfering with sensitive electronic equipment. Included in all Leviton Dimmers except the No. 700 model.   Types of Dimmers Ganging means installing dimmers side-by-side in one larger-size wallbox. Dimmers are always ganged vertically and must be "derated" to prevent heat buildup. Here's a simple guide to derating strap-mounted dimmers.   Leviton Dimmer Families The metal mounting strap on the dimmer removes heat from the device. Dimmers designed for heavier lighting loads use architectural metallic fins as heat sinks. Leviton mounting straps are the most efficient avaiable, allowing cool, continuous operation for up to 2000 Watt loads. Our new Monet architectural dimmer features ultra-thin fins that provide a flush wall fit.   Other Factors to Consider Contains a separate switch that turns light ON and OFF without changing dimmer setting - Fast, easy to use.
