Rated 5 out of 5 by from Radiant Switches and Wallplates I installed the radiant switches and screwless wallplates throughout my entire house. With a sleek and simple design they look really good. As an architect, I’d recommend these products to anyone. Technical support was very helpful with questions regarding wiring the dimmer switch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As advertised Had trouble finding a 3 way dimmer that was compatible with the LED's I was using in my basement project. Then I came across this one advertised as universal. Made a couple of calls to the Lagrand tech support to discuss before I ordered 3 of them. Installed them and they work perfectly. Could not be happier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Radiant Dimmer We had a unique color combination in our kitchen. The switch cover had a wide range of covers that solved the problem. Tru-Universal dealt with the different types of lighting so that I didn't have to figure-out on my own.

Questions & Answers

do you need a neutral for this tru-universal dimmer?

Asked by: bob
Yes, the universal dimmer will require a Neutral connection.

Have the RH703PTUW 3-way or single pole. Set to F. Using it as a single. Common from power, single pole to light and green grounding. Turn it on and LED flashes but does not go through power up test, light do not turn on. Incandescent 40watt 120v.

Asked by: Bingus
The RH703PTUW dimmer requires a Neutral wire connected to the silver terminal for it to function. If you do not have a Neutral in the electrical box and are controlling an incandescent light load, you could use the RH703PW or RHCL453PW. They do not require a Neutral connection.

I have a legend rhcl453ptcccv6. Just trying to change colors. Got the frame off but can’t get the switch rectangular off. How hard and which way to pull, lift or whatever? Hope you can help me. This is not a 3way.

Asked by: Sarge
To remove the paddle switch just pull up from the top or bottom and it will pop off. You can also use a flathead screwdriver and place it under one end of the switch and pry it off that way.

Can the locator led be turned off? I have a RH703PTU dimmer.

Asked by: George
The locator LED can not be disabled on the RH703PTU dimmer.
Answered by: Legrand Technical Support
Date published: 2021-06-22

Does turning off the power to the RH703PTU dimmer remove all programming and reset the dimmer to factory settings?

Asked by: George
If the AUTO-CAL was not locked out, resetting power to the dimmer will force the dimmer to reset the light level back to the factory default. NOTE: When the dimmer loses power, when it turns back on it tries to set its minimum output voltage at an optimal level for the light it is dimming. If you want to override this behavior, lock in your Min Level Trim adjustment as follows: • Once you reach the Min Level Trim desired, hold down the CAL button until the Locator LED stops flashing. This takes approximately 10 seconds. This locks-in your new minimum output voltage setting and prevents the dimmer from overriding your setting after it loses power.

We lost power a week or so ago and now the switches are all offline. Do I need to hard reset them to bring them back or is there an easier way?

Asked by: JKLMS
The RH703PTUTC dimmer is not a "wi-fi" dimmer so it shouldn't go off-line.

I was sold a radiant RH703PTUW to use with a light fixture that uses a LED Driver. Is this correct? How do I hook up the switch?

Asked by: PB172
As long as the LED driver is NOT 0-10V, this dimmer should work and wiring instruction link is attached. https://legrand.webdamdb.com/directdownload.php?ti=38628442&tok=Tmbx4IYMgWSfhtWODTG8egRR

Installed 3 of these (same box) to cntrl LED lights in our bedroom. They work fine, but get noticeably warm, even with the lights off all night. With the wall plate removed, I measured 105 - 110F on the mounting ears . Makes her nervous, any thoughts?

Asked by: Mrspardo
To install the RH703PTUTC dimmer, you black HOT wire goes to the black terminal, your black LOAD wire goes to 1POLE terminal, and you can create a "jumper from the silver NEUTRAL terminal to the bundle of white wires.

I have 3 wires from the house (black, white, & bare copper) & 3 wires from a light fixture (black, white, & green). Where do the wires from the house go? Where do the wires from the light fixture go? My Legrand switch has common, neutral & single pole.

Asked by: DKim
Good Evening, The black from your panel goes to the black screw, the black to the light goes in the 1-pole screw. Next, you take a jumper wire and you wirenut that and the two whites together. The free end of the jumper will go into the back of the dimmer where it says "neutral." Hope this helps!

The instructions show you tying Neutral to Load (Which I assume is the Single Pole labelled terminal) . So really? You tie Neutral to Load at the switch?

Asked by: chaz
I had the same question regarding the diagram myself, so thanks for clearing this up. I was not interpreting the "Load" INSIDE the box in the diagram to be the actual Load (light).  It is technically correct but the line showing a connection from the "Load" to Neutral was messing me up, if that one line wasn't there it wouldn't be as confusing.  I was a bit thrown by why the switch needs a neutral going to it but when I realized it has a locator LED (which would always be lit), it made sense.

In the US smart dimmers are labelled (Line, Load, Neutral, Ground). This is labelled ( Neutral, Common(!?), Single Pole(??!%?), Ground) Is Common=Line? Is Single Pole=Load?

Asked by: chaz
The RH703PTUTC is not a "Smart" Wi-Fi dimmer but a standard single pole/3way dimmer so the terminals are marked as Common(Load or Hot), Neutral(required), 1pole, and 3way.

Installing Legrand  tru universal dimmer with another three way switch to operate the lights.  Should you install a white(neutral) wire from back of dimmer to the other white wires in box

Asked by: Paul
The RH703PTUTC does require a Neutral wire so yes, you can create a jumper to your bundle of white wires in your electrical box. Legrand would never expect a Consumer to answer installation questions on our products and they should always be answered by our Technical Support department directly.
