Default Wall Dimmer Switch Anomaly?


"RickR" wrote

How about a make and model on these guys.


The original boxes have been trashed, but here is what I
find on the switches themselves:

Leviton
6842
Dimmer

(It is possible that the number is 8842; very small print)

120 VAC
60 HZ
Incandescent use only.

These were purchased from a local Home Depot on 5.30.06, and
the ID info shown on the receipt, which may also be the UPC
code, is:

07847769639 CS120 Ivory

Best regards,

Chuck Lee.

Where did he say those dimmers were controlling

flourescents, Pop?

The dimmers are NOT controlling fluorescent lights.

They
control incandescent lights.

Another bit of clarification, in case it makes a

difference.
These dimmer switches are not the kind with a sliding

knob.
These are the kind that, from 4+ feet away, look just

like
standard ON-OFF home wall switches.

Still puzzled, but with some good information and
suggestions for further research.

Thanks.
