Programming Option 5: Enable / Disable Indicator Lights
What Does It Do:
When the sensor dimmer is turned OFF and the light goes out, the Indicator Lights remain ON, at a dim glow state, also
known as "nightlight mode." Disabling "nightlight mode" is an energy saving practice and also allows the dimmer to be
compatible with a broader range of CFLs and LEDs. Enabling "nightlight mode" provides a soft glow for easy location of
the dimmer
in a dark room.
SETTINGS
Enable / Disable Indicator Lights allows for enabling / disabling of the Indicator Lights when the dimmer is turned OFF.
Note:
Default setting is Indicator Lights (nightlight mode): ON (IL4).
