The Smartest DIY Home Improvements

Did you know that simply replacing switches with Vizia RF+ dimmers will reduce your home’s lighting energy consumption? The eco-friendly energy save mode allows you to decrease the maximum brightness level to reduce energy and extend bulb life. An incandescent bulb set at 50% brightness will use 40% less energy and emit a warm, attractive glow. Even if you set a dimmer at 90%, you’d receive a 10% energy payback. As an added bonus, you’d extend the life of your light bulbs up to 10 times and longer – important to consider if you have cathedral ceilings with lights that need changing.

Additionally, digital technology inside each switch adds precise control with features such as fade on/ fades off, selectable fade rates and LED timeout options. Vizia + lighting controls are compatible with Leviton’s legendary Decora® devices and screwless snap-on wall plates.

Common electrical devices like AC power adapters, plugged-in mobile phone chargers, plasma televisions, computer monitors, printers, video games and DVD players never turn completely off. Instead, they continue to draw power that’s costing you money. Vizia RF + allows you to turn off selected circuits during non-vital times such as overnight.

Big energy drains like porch and yard lighting typically use higher wattage circuits that burn over 8 hours each night. Schedule them to operate normally for a few hours nightly, then schedule them to dim for the remainder of the night. That way, there is still lighting for security, but less energy is consumed. Dimming is one of many energy-wise advantages of the Vizia RF + wireless upgrade, which includes scene and zone controllers and heldheld programmer/timers.
