Replaces your existing wall switch to control appliances, fluorescent or incandescent lighting up to 15 amps at 125V. The Leviton Decora LV6291WI has an LED to indicate when the switch is ON. Use this switch to control indoor lighting or outdoor lighting switched from indoors, ceiling fans (ON/OFF only), switched outlets, controlling stereo systems, appliances, plug-in heaters, etc. Requires neutral wire (usually white) in wall box. This X10 compatible switch responds to ON/OFF and ALL LIGHTS ON/ALL OFF commands. WALL SWITCHES AND DIMMING Ever forgotten to turn off the light on the back patio? With home automation you can access that light switch and cause it to turn off at the touch of a button on your remote control. Direct control of your home lighting is a powerful home automation benefit. Wall switches can send commands to other devices in your home (transmitters) and control them, or they can simply receive control commands (receivers) and turn on, off or dim. Sometimes they do both.

NOTE: Because this switch responds to the ALL LIGHTS ON command, care should be taken when used to switch non-lamp loads. If you don't want your appliance to respond to this command, use an X10 Appliance Module or an X10 Wall Receptacle.
