    Installation Warning
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018*

The pilot light is what sets this apart from regular 3-way switches. It requires an additional wire to make it work so I found it easier to run an additional length of 12-2 alongside of the 12-3 instead of ordering a roll of 12-4. The only 12-4 I could locate in my area was stranded wire instead of solid so the extra Romex pull was cheaper and more readily available for my job as I did not want to run conduit for individual wires.I had the walls opened up for the install so it was super easy to double up. Maybe not so easy if you can't open up the walls so be aware.I needed the pilot lights since these switches control a German made central exhaust fan that is so quiet it's near impossible to tell if it's running. The pilot lights simply make it easier to manage to prevent leaving the fan running unnecessarily. Other Fantech users commented they had mistakenly left their fans running for days on end due to their super quiet performance. If I were controlling overhead lights there wouldn't be a need for the pilots since the lights would be blatently obvious if they were on/off.The switch quality is typical Leviton. Nothing to note there. The pilot light is incandescent that I wish was LED but it's still worth it. The light is larger than I would like but I would still take over no pilot light at all. Leviton has smaller LED indicators on other switches but this is the only thing they offer in this lineup. I would prefer a green or blue indicator over red. The switch has 2 stranded wire pigtails protruding from the back for the pilot light connections. The remaining connections are back wired with side screw connections.The instructions don't appear to be typical Leviton. I was able sort it out but they don't use standard terms such as line, load & travelers. My only complaint is they should write the instructions using standard terminology like every other Leviton product available in every big box store on the planet. Instead of using the correct word "travelers" they said "brass screw" connections. Instead of using the word "line" they used "power in". These were easy to figure out but kind of silly to be honest since their other products use correct terms.As noted by another reviewer the 3-Way pilot lights need to have the power (line) entering through one of the switch locations. If the power is feeding in from the fan or light, the pilot light portion of these switches will NOT workClearer instructions would have helped since these switches are not common even among electricians. My senior union electrician at our plant had to stop and research information on this wiring scheme when I asked for advice when planning my project.Honest Cons:- Red indicator light glows through the switch cover creating this weird looking orange halo effect.- Instructions are horrible!- Metal plate is stamped "top" on the wrong end so if you believe it the switch will be upside down and not line up with the cover plate opening. Just make sure the brass ground piece is oriented at the top and it will be right.- Stranded wire pigtails can't be used with Wago push nuts. I had to convert to solid pigtails with Wago lever nuts that was no big deal but an extra step with extra parts non the less.

    CANNOT UPGRADE AN EXISTING 3 WAY TO THIS SWITCH.
  

*by Q***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2016*

Understand that this product requires additional wiring to function properly.  You cannot simply swap out an existing 3 way switch and pop this one in to end up with a 3 way switch and pilot light. If you already have a pilot switch, this would work fine - or if you are doing new construction and could run additional wires, then it would work great as well.  Realize that the pilot light in the switch is an additional load - no different than if you add a light bulb - so that load must now be switched too.  So a jumper wire must run from the pilot light on this switch to the other 3 way switch in your circuit.  This is in addition to the traveler wires that are running for the 3 way operation.  So... unless you want to pull new wire, this wont work in retrofit, if you do not already have a pilot light.  If you simply wire the pilot light to the existing traveler wires and to a hot, it will remain illuminated at all times.  This switch is not smart - no electronic circuitry - I thought it would have some smart circuitry to simply sense (perhaps by current transformer) when the load was energized and illuminate an led pilot.  That is not the case.  This is simply two items in one frame - (2) a three way switch and (2) a pilot light.  Perhaps an electrician would have known this, but my guess is that most homeowner DIY people would miss this fact.  The instructions that come with the switch are very clear as to this point.

    I should have read more of the reviews
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020*

This really is a Leviton 5638 3-way switch with a pilot light.  But the pilot light needs its own wire coming from the light fixture you are controlling.  The pilot is just a separate light bulb that was stuck into the switch and needs its own wiring.  I was unable to pull another wire from the lights in the garage back to this switch in the house (too late), so I can not use this switch.  Be sure you have a spare wire coming back from your lights to this switch.  Don't be a dope like me.
