The brilliant control can automatically detect which wire is line and which is load so they are interchangeable when installing in a single pole configuration. If you re circuit is only one way you can ignore this terminal and it will still work. The most common light switch is the single pole light switch. Red wire this wire is used for 3 or 4 way switches and will connect the switches together so they can each control your lights. Wiring a light switch to wire a light switch consider whether the circuit is one way one light switch operating one light or two way two light switches operating the same light. The other terminal is marked as l1 and is the output to the light fixture. You should only have two wires connected to the main switch terminals. In theory if you break the circuit on either wire it will stop the flow of electricity. In a 3 way configuration the load wire should be. Bare copper green wire this is your ground wire.
So if you put a switch on the white wire the power may jump the switch and find a different path to the box through another nearby white.
The other terminal is marked as l1 and is the output to the light fixture. For those of us using led fluorescent or some other energy efficient bulbs under 20w a neutral is required. Red wire this wire is used for 3 or 4 way switches and will connect the switches together so they can each control your lights. The source hot wire is connected to a switch terminal and the other terminal is connected to the black cable wire. Bare copper green wire this is your ground wire. Switched live wire sw connects to l1 port common live wire cw connects to common.
White wire this is the neutral wire. Wiring a single pole light switch here a single pole switch controls the power to a light fixture. When you re wiring decorative light switches such as chrome or stainless steel etc you ll find that the switch will also have an l2 terminal which means it s a two way switch. Basic knowledge of how to wire a light switch. Red wire this wire is used for 3 or 4 way switches and will connect the switches together so they can each control your lights. The source is at the switch and 2 wire cable runs from there to the light. In addition the light switch will either be one gang one switch on the plate or two gang two switches on the plate or higher. One being a white wire identified by black tape or marked with a black felt pen to one terminal and one black wire connected to the other. The source hot wire is connected to a switch terminal and the other terminal is connected to the black cable wire. In a 3 way configuration the line wire should be connected to the common terminal of the brilliant control.
If you re circuit is only one way you can ignore this terminal and it will still work. The source is at the switch and 2 wire cable runs from there to the light. The 1 pole light switch will have two terminals on it and possibly a third terminal that is a ground connection. You should only have two wires connected to the main switch terminals. The common is for the live wire that supplies the input voltage to the switch. For those of us using led fluorescent or some other energy efficient bulbs under 20w a neutral is required. When you re wiring decorative light switches such as chrome or stainless steel etc you ll find that the switch will also have an l2 terminal which means it s a two way switch. In practice you need to put light switches on the hot black wire rather than the white neutral wire. Bare copper green wire this is your ground wire. If you only have one cable in the device box then the switch outlet is likely wired as a switch leg drop.
A fan or other appliance. Switched live wire sw connects to l1 port common live wire cw connects to common. If you only have one cable in the device box then the switch outlet is likely wired as a switch leg drop. The common is for the live wire that supplies the input voltage to the switch. White wire this is the neutral wire. In a 3 way configuration the load wire should be. If you re circuit is only one way you can ignore this terminal and it will still work. It is also usually black. This is because two way switches can also be used on one way circuits. Wiring a single pole light switch here a single pole switch controls the power to a light fixture.

The other terminal is marked as l1 and is the output to the light fixture. Wiring a single pole light switch here a single pole switch controls the power to a light fixture. The reason is because all of the white wires connect. The most common requirement of any hardwired automated light switch is a neutral wire. Basic knowledge of how to wire a light switch.
