Leviton 5601-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Leviton 5601-2 rocker switch control one light from two locations?
That is exactly what it is built for. The 5601-2 is a 3-way switch, so you wire a pair of them (one at each doorway or each end of a hallway or stairwell) to control the same fixture from two spots. A single 3-way switch on its own will not do it, you need two, plus a 3-wire traveler run between them.
2) Is the Leviton 5601-2 rocker switch rated for 277 volt commercial lighting?
Yes, it carries a 120/277V AC rating, so it will run 277V fluorescent or LED lighting circuits as well as standard 120V residential ones. Note the grade is residential, so for high-traffic commercial openings or heavily cycled circuits a spec-grade or commercial-grade device is the better match even though the voltage rating allows it.
3) What is the difference between the 5601-2 and 5603-2I configurations?
They are the two ordering options under the same rocker AC quiet switch, called out as configuration 2 and configuration 2I. Order by the part number that matches your spec: 5601-2 for the 2 configuration, 5603-2I for the 2I. Both are the same 15A, 120/277V brown rocker device.
4) Do I need a special wallplate for this Leviton brown rocker switch?
Yes, a rocker style device takes a decorator/Decora opening wallplate, not the small rectangular opening used for toggle switches. The switch comes in brown, so a brown decorator plate keeps it matched. Wallplates are sold separately from the device.
5) I am replacing brown toggle switches in an older apartment. Will this rocker switch match the rest?
The color will match brown devices already in the unit, but the look will not. This is a rocker (paddle) style device, so it reads differently from a toggle on the wall and needs a different wallplate opening. If you are changing out one switch in a room where the others are toggles, plan on swapping the whole gang or the whole room to keep the openings consistent.
6) Is a residential grade switch good enough for an apartment turn or a rental property?
For in-unit lighting in apartments and houses it is the normal choice, and that is the grade this switch is built to. Where it is the wrong pick is corridors, laundry rooms, offices and other openings that get cycled hard all day, or anywhere a job spec calls for commercial or spec grade. Those openings should get a higher-grade device.
7) Why is this called an AC quiet switch?
The mechanism is built to actuate without the audible snap a standard toggle makes, which is why it gets used in bedrooms and hallways where noise matters. The AC designation means it is an alternating-current device, rated here at 120/277V, not a DC-rated switch.
