• A:Answer Either the PD-6ANS or PD-5ANS are suitable Caseta Wireless switches for your application. The only difference between the two is the amperage rating. Both require a connection to neutral, as well, so please ensure there is neutral available in the wallbox.

Q: QuestionWhat indoor floodlights do you recommend with this switch?

Asked 4 years ago by Joni.

• A:Answer Currently, there is no industry standard or regulation for the manufacturing of LEDs and the performance will vary with different dimming controls. With this information in mind, Lutron performs extensive testing on a variety of LEDs from many different manufacturers and posts our most up to date testing information on our LED compatibility tool. Lutron would suggest visiting www.lutron.com/ledfinder or www.lutron.com/ledtool to find compatible LEDs for a Lutron dimmer.
