Multigang and Mixed-Bulb-Type Ratings

When installing more than one Dimmer in the same wallbox, it may be necessary to remove some side sections
prior to wiring (see diagram). Removal of Dimmer side sections may reduce maximum wattage, as shown in
the chart below.
Mixing bulb types (using a combination of CFL/LED, and Incandescent/Halogen bulbs) will also affect the
maximum ratings, as shown in the chart below.
*EXAMPLE: If one set of side sections is removed and you have two 24 W CFL bulbs installed
(Total CFL Wattage = 48 W), you may add up to 300 W of incandescent or halogen
lighting.

Do not remove outside
