    Toggle Switch Actuator with Mini Slide Dimmer, Rocker Switch Actuator with Slide Dimmer, Rocker Switch Actuator with Mini Slide Dimmer, and Push Button Actuator with Slide Dimmer—Slide dimmers include both a switch and a dimmer. Use them to turn lights on and off while maintaining your desired brightness level.
    LED—Dimmers for LEDs only use the 0-10V dimming standard—pair them with 0-10V DC dimmable bulbs.
    3-Way Switch—Three-way dimmers let you control the same circuit of lights from two locations, so they’re often used in large, open workspaces. Pair them with a 3-way on/off switch.

    Smart Light Dimmers

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Light Dimmers. 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.
    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.

    Wireless Networked Light Controls

    Create a network to sync your lights—no complex wiring, central gateway, or Wi-Fi needed. These controls let you turn lights on and off or dim them in unison from a secure Bluetooth network. Build a system of up to 100 controllers—when any two are placed within 100 ft. of each other, they’ll form a network. Hardwire them to any fixture with a 0-10V dimming circuit. Use a free app to program when lights turn on or off and how they respond to sensors.

    Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls.
    Detect motion near your light fixture to turn lights on and off. Compared to switch-mount motion controls that detect from a single wall, these controls have a better view of the entire space since they sense motion from above. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls have an infrared sensor that activates when it detects a change in heat. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time. Rated IP65, these controls are protected from washdowns.
    These light controls monitor motion in a full circle for coverage in all directions.
    Half-circle sensing lenses are best for concentrating coverage to a certain part of a room, such as a workstation or an entrance.
    Narrow sensing lenses are best for the end of aisles in spaces with high ceilings like those in warehouses and factories.
    7,690 ft² Area Coverage—Those that cover 7,690 sq. ft. have lenses that can be swapped out to limit where they sense.

    Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. 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.
    Dimmer Switch—Controls with a dimmer let you adjust the brightness of your lights.

    Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Dimmers

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Light Switch Sensors. 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.
