Light Dimmers
Adjust the brightness of lights.
Rocker switches with slide dimmers and mini slide dimmers turn lights on and off with a separate rocker actuator to maintain a desired lighting level.

Multi-Way Light Dimmers
Often used in large, open workspaces, these switches can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control the brightness of lights on the same circuit. They're also known as three-way switches and work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. The actuator to turn lights on and off is separate from the dimmer to maintain a desired lighting level. They fit standard wall plates (not included).

Smart Light Dimmers
Adjust how bright lights are from anywhere. These dimmers use Wi-Fi to sync to a downloadable app on your smartphone or tablet. Use the app to set the brightness, turn lights on and off, and set a lighting schedule. For example, you might set the light to dim during peak sunlight hours. Someone working in the area is still able to turn the brightness up by pressing the top push button on the dimmer. Use up to 20 of these dimmers—even if they’re across different circuits—on the same Wi-Fi network.
Often used in large, open workspaces, these dimmers can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control the brightness of lights on the same circuit.

Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is empty. They fit standard wall plates. All have a manual time delay that will turn lights off after a set amount of inactivity.
Dimming light controls adjust the light’s brightness.
Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat and require a direct view of the occupants. Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors detect changes in heat as well as motion to minimize false activations. You can set them to use one or both detection methods to activate and keep lights on.
Controls with an automatic time delay can turn lights off automatically based on usage patterns.
For light controls with 24V DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120- or 277-volt AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Dimmers
Control the brightness of lights from your smartphone. Using a Bluetooth-connected app on your phone or tablet, you can schedule when lights turn on, adjust their brightness levels, and set their movement sensitivity. Also known as occupancy sensors, these dimmers turn lights on when motion is detected and off when people are away. You can override the motion sensor function with a tap on the app to manually switch or dim lights. They fit in standard wall plates.
Dimmers with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of people occupying the space to activate.
Dimmers with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.
For light controls with DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120V or 277V AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Fine-tune motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. Mounting on the ceiling gives these light controls a clearer view of the room than wall-mount sensors, so they detect motion over a larger area. They connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to adjust the amount of time lights stay on after people leave, set schedules, or override the sensor so lights are always on. Also known as occupancy sensors, they turn lights on when they sense movement and off after people leave.
Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and need a direct view of people.
Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors have two detection methods to minimize false activation: infrared to sense heat sources and ultrasonic to sense motion. Use the app to adjust whether both or just one of these triggers will switch the lights.
Controls with a dimmer let you adjust the brightness of your lights.
