Questions and Answers for Leviton 20 Amp Decora Plus Commercial Grade 3-Way Lighted Rocker Switch with Pilot Light, White

A:  Yes. I purchased and installed one in August 2020 for that precise purpose. It requires a neutral wire in the outlet box, but the switch has the braided neutral wire pigtail ready for connecting. A separate pilot light hot wire is connected directly to the hot line in the box. The rest of the switch is wired normally. The current for the pilot light goes through the pilot wire and neutral and not through the LED load, so you don't get any dim glow from the switch on the LEDs when the switch is off (only the pilot light glows). Even though this is a three way switch, I only used it as a single pole in this setup.

A:  Yes, but it is not a dimmer.. only as on and off.

A:  The pilot light has its own two separate wire legs so you can power it on and off the way you want depending on if you feed current to those legs or not..

A:  The pilot is separately wired so it can be connected however desired.

A:  No, I do not believe it can. Illuminated switches are manufactured to be in a lit fashion when off, to allow for locating the switch in a dim or no light scenario. That is part of the internal manufacturing of the product. You would probably need to find a Pilot Light switch that was just that...Pilot Light only.

A:  yes

A:  Yes. It can. However the opposite should nevet be done because on overload the switch would burn and the circuit breaker would not trip. That could cause a fire.

A:  Hi , Thank you for choosing Leviton. No, because it is capable of tripping the breaker if load exceeds 15A.

A:  Using a 20 amp switch on an existing 15 amp lighting circuit is no problem, as the lighting circuit will draw no more than what it was designed to do with 14 gauge wire. The switch is just manufactured to take a higher amperage usage for a 20 amp circuits.. It is just made to withstand a higher load running thru it. A 20 Amp receptacle, on the other hand, CAN NOT be used with 14 gauge wire as it has the potential to allow something with a 20 amp cord cap to be plugged in, and that something could overdraw the the rating of the 14 gauge wire.

A:  Yes. Its rated for 20 amps, which is more than 15 amps

A:  yes

A:  Yes, the 5638-2W will illuminate when the load is switched on, regardless of which 3-way switch was used.

A:  This switch is a 5638-2W, which is a 3 way switch. The 5628-2W (not in this ad) is a single pole switch. The answer to your question is yes. However, you may need to install an additional wire between the switches with this type of switch.
