This device can function with or without a
neutral AC connection depending on load type.
See load types and wiring diagrams below.
When wired without a neutral, loads may
appear dimmer.

* NOTES:
(1) The maximum and minimum load requirements for fluorescent, CFL
and LED loads can vary greatly depending upon the specific fixture and/
or bulb being used. At higher wattages, these load types have significant
in-rush current which can trip the protection circuitry on the device. At
low wattages, some CFL and LED loads will not be able to completely
shut off.
(2) In both cases, the quality and performance of these load types varies
greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer. When using these load types,
we recommend testing in advance. If problems are found, simply changing
to a different bulb manufacturer may solve the problem.
(3) Additionally, we do not recommend the use of fluorescent, CFL, or
LED loads without a neutral wire connected to the dimmer due to the
capacitive nature of these load types.
