I installed 2 sets of LED lights with two transforms. They are feeding off a single switch. Can I remove the switch and replace it with atoggle dimmer 600W

SOURCE: New Single Feed switch/outlet not working

Hi there, first what is your porous for the device? Do you want the switch to feed the outlet or do you want the switch to be independent? (switch feed outlet)---- black feed to gold screw on switch. then from lower screw on same side to outlet (this should be black also)> remembering to tie neutrals with wire nut in rear with pig tale to switch. hope this helps.

SOURCE: two slots on back of dimmer. one has single black

Yes, this is a single pole dimmer switch. Connect the green wire to the ground wire in your electrical switch box and connect one black wire to the power (common wire) in the switch box and the other to the wire going to the incandesant light fixture. (Standard dimmers cannot be used with CFL type bulbs).

You should be working fine! Remember to turn off the power to the wiring your connecting this dimmer to to prevent both getting a shock and from damaging the dimmer during installation.

Hope you found this very helpful and best regards!

SOURCE: I have installed a Lutron Diva Single-Pole dimmer,

No it means you have a short somewhere in the wireing. disconnect the power unhook the switches and use an ohm meter to test the wires to see if you have contact between the wires, black to white and black to bare ground wire. if it's a three way wire test all of them, if you used tsaoles to hold it in place check where you put the staples in you may find you have a staple ran threw two wires. Or if you pulled the wire and pulled it around a hard corner you may have pulled the insolation off somewhere the above test will confirm this. This is assumeming you are testing line voltage without a step down transformer or any other device in the circut

SOURCE: I just installed a Leviton

The Leviton IP106 Illumatech dimmer switch must be installed at the switch location where the hot feed exists. From your description your hot feed is at the regular 3-way switch location. Swap locations.
