Frequently Asked Questions
Do either need a neutral wire?
Neither requires a neutral per the listings, but both need a ground.
Which has a longer delay setting?
Lutron lists delays of 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes. Check the Leviton listing for its delay options.
Can I install one myself?
If you are comfortable with household wiring, turn off the breaker first. Otherwise hire a licensed electrician.
Safety note: hardwired fixtures and wall switches connect to household wiring. Turn off the breaker and confirm the power is off before you start, match the fixture to the box, and use a licensed electrician if you are not experienced with home wiring. Check the load rating, the box size, and your local code, and look for a UL or ETL mark. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
