• To avoid risk of fire and electrical shock, products shall be installed
in accordance with electrical code and regulations.
• Cut off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse before installation.
• If you’re not clear about any content of the instructions, please
consult a licensed electrician.
• To avoid the risk of overheating and possible damage to the
equipment, do not use the product to control a receptacle,
motor-operated appliance or a transformer-supplied appliance.
• This product applies to compatible, dimmable incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage halogen, electronic low-voltage halogen,
CFL and LED products.
• When connecting multiple products with a single dimmer, do not
mix product types. All products shall be either dimmable LED, CFL
or incandescent products. Using the same type of products will
enhance dimmer performance.
• Switch to the leading edge control mode when an inductive load
(i.e., incandescent or magnetic low-voltage halogen) is used.
Switch to trailing edge control mode when a capacitive load
(i.e., electronic low-voltage halogen, CFL or LEDis used.

Installing your Lightcloud Blue Device
Find a Suitable Location
• Lightcloud Blue devices should be positioned within
60 ft. of each other
• Building materials such as brick, concrete and steel
construction may require additional Lightcloud Blue
devices to extend around an obstruction

(cont’d)
Note If the wiring layout in the wall box does not resemble any of
these configurations, consult an electrician.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For a Single-Pole application, note that one of the screw
terminals from the old switch being removed usually is a
different color (Black) or labeled Common. Tag the wire with
electrician tape and identify as the Common (hot wire or load)
in both the dimmer wall box and Single-Pole wall box.
