Just installed a 3-way switch using a Red Series Dimmer and an Accessory Switch in a non-neutral setup. It is working fine and can properly be controlled from the main switch, the accessory switch and from home assistant.
When the light is on though, the main switch (LZW31-SN) is getting very warm/hot. The black metal is essentially too hot to touch. I’d estimate >120 F. This seems too hot to be right. I rechecked the wiring and everything seems correct without any shorts, touching wires, etc.
With all 6 table still installed the dimmer is rated to 400W incandescent. You’re load is 705W so I’m not that surprised. I would recommend swapping in LEDs and stay under 300W.
Max Wattage: See below – maximum will vary based on bulb type and whether the heat sink tabs are removed or not
I replaced all of the cans with LEDs (it turns out 3 of them already were LEDs). I didn’t have LEDs for the light fixture. Also, it’s possible they are 60W and not 40W. I’ve not taken down the glass to actually see the bulbs yet.
So 9 10w LEDs and 3 60w bulbs [worst case] is 270w
I left the lights on for a bit and the max temp is now 103F. Warm, but a lot better. Thanks!
