Leviton DOS05-1LZ – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton Decora motion sensor switch work in a single-gang box wired for one standard switch?
Yes. The Decora motion sensor in-wall switch is a 1-pole device, so it controls lighting from a single location and drops into a standard residential switch box in place of a toggle or Decora paddle switch. If the same lights are controlled from two locations, a 1-pole device is the wrong choice for that opening.
2) How much lighting load can a 5-amp Leviton motion sensor switch handle?
The switch is rated 120V AC at 5 amps, which covers typical residential lighting circuits in hallways, baths, closets and bedrooms. It is a residential grade device, so it is not the pick for heavy commercial loads or anything drawing more than 5 amps at 120 volts.
3) Can I swap a plain wall switch for this Leviton motion sensor in an apartment turnover?
That is exactly the intended retrofit. The Decora motion sensor is listed for retrofit projects replacing standard toggle or Decora switches, as well as new construction residential wiring. Keep it on single-location (1-pole) circuits at 120V with lighting loads inside the 5-amp rating.
4) Do I need to buy a separate color insert or wallplate to match my existing ivory devices?
No separate insert purchase is needed. The switch ships with Ivory, Light Almond and White inserts in the box, so one part number covers all three common trim colors. That matters on a property where units have mixed device colors: buy one item and match whatever is on the wall.
5) What is the difference between the Leviton DOS05-1LZ and DVS15-1LZ motion sensor switches?
They are the two model options sold under the Decora motion sensor line, ordered as DOS05-1LZ-P and DVS15-1LZ-P. Both are Decora-style in-wall occupancy sensing switches for residential lighting control. Specify the exact model when ordering so the units going into a job all match.
6) Is a residential grade motion sensor switch suitable for a commercial office or a high-traffic corridor?
Not really. This Decora motion sensor is built to residential grade and rated 5 amps at 120V, which suits homes, apartments and light-duty residential spaces. For commercial corridors, restrooms and offices, look for a commercial or spec grade occupancy sensor rated for the higher switching duty and larger lighting loads those spaces run.
7) Will this motion sensor switch match the look of the other Decora devices in the house?
It uses the slim Decora paddle profile, so it lines up with other Leviton Decora switches, receptacles and wallplates already on the walls. With Ivory, Light Almond and White inserts included, the face color can be matched to the existing run without a second order.
