    Very good instructions. In a hallway for beds and bath. Used on one switch on a one switch in a 3 rocker switch/3 light system. Did not have to do anything with the other 2 rocker switches. Makes a great solution as a hallway night light system.

    Please tell me about the - and + adjustment knob. I have installed two of these and cannot get any control at the slider. I have Off and On working perfectly, but the slider isn't making any difference on dimming the lights. Any chance of you actually covering a complete installation of this DIMMER switch?

    What should I do if I have an extra red wire that was connected to my existing switch??? My Lutron dimmer only has 3 connector screws.

    Sort of a helpful video but another way to figure out the load or the hot if you've already removed your switched without tagging, the wire is to separate the wires. Trim them back while the power is off. Turn the power back on. Use a multimeter and find which one has 120 to volts coming to it. Tag that wire

    Please put up a video explaining the same installs but with a switch leg, not one wire running all the way through the switch junction box and on to the fixture. If I figure it out first I’ll edit this comment.

    I've got a black and a white wire coming out of wall. This switch only has a red and a black wire and does not help me at all... does not explain where my white wire goes...

    the problem with both of your "how to" videos on this subject is that you don't show where the wires land on the switch. you show lead wires hanging out but its hard to tell which screws those leads are under.

    Note, very important: When finished, make sure the grooves in the screw heads (for flat head screwdriver) are vertical, not horizontal. How do I know this? Because 24 years ago when my house was built the electrician did this at every switch and plug in my house. I have faithfully followed this example whenever changing a switch or plug and have never had a problem. So there.

    Cannot fit 12 gauge wire around screw. Simply not enough room around the screw to fit the looped wire. Worst part of wiring a complete room.

    I guess this is no neutral LED dimmer.

    This doesn’t tell you what to do if there is a red power wire and two black wires. You could easily mix up the two black wires.

    Jesus Christ... every example completely avoids the reality of what's in the wall. 3 wires coming out 1. BLACK, 2. WHITE, 3. GROUND. The ground is a no brainer, but does the white wire connect to the RED wired from the switch, or the BLACK Wire???? Which, you would THINK - black to black.... but no, let's post a video to help "do-it-yourself" people out and completely sidestep the obvious issue. By the way, there isn't two white wires tied together coming out of my wall. Can someone (please) tell me in the example above, what the white wire should connect to?

    • @charlestona3865

      Came here to say this. Sounds like you and I have a switch leg that runs down the wall, whereas it looks like this video explains how to install when the wire just runs through the switch to the fixture. I’m not an electrician though.

    Which wire is load and which one is hot source?!?!?! These instructions are essentially useless.

      I just installed mine, it’s easy. I only had a white and red wire, (no ground) . The red with the white stripe I did not connected to anything, the black goes to the black and my white one I connected it to the solid red on the switch, and my ground I drilled a hole on the same metal box, not sure if it will make a difference but it’s working for me. I hope it helps. Take care.

      Black and red from the switch should both be on a black wire in the box. It doesnt matter which is which. The whites should all be twisted together inside the box and not connected to the switch at all. Then the green from the light switch and the green or bare copper in your wall should be wire nutted together

      Someone didn’t read the paper instructions it tells you that red and black are interchangeable
