Pass & Seymour WSCL453P-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour WSCL453P dimmer be used in a 3-way circuit with a second switch?
Yes. The WSCL453P Wide Slide paddle dimmer is a single pole/3-way device, so one dimmer can control a load by itself or sit at one end of a 3-way circuit paired with a standard 3-way switch at the other location. Only the dimmer end gives you level control; the companion switch just turns the circuit on and off.
2) Will the WSCL453P dimmer handle my LED retrofit lamps, and how many can I put on it?
The WSCL453P is rated 450 W for LED and CFL loads and 700 W for incandescent. Lamps have to be the dimmable type; non-dimmable LED or CFL lamps will flicker or fail regardless of the dimmer rating. On the LED side, 450 W of capacity covers a large fixture count since dimmable LED lamps typically draw well under 15 W each, so the usual limiting factor is the branch circuit, not the dimmer.
3) Will the WSCL453P match the Decora-style switches and plates already in the building?
Yes, within color. The Wide Slide paddle dimmer uses a Decorator-style paddle profile and takes a standard decorator opening, so it lines up with other decorator devices on a multi-gang plate. It comes in Ivory (WSCL453P-TC) and White (WSCL453P-W), both in a matte finish, so pick the one that matches the existing devices.
4) Should I use the WSCL453P or an electronic low voltage dimmer?
The WSCL453P is for dimmable LED, CFL, and line-voltage incandescent loads at 450 W and 700 W respectively. It is not the device for electronic low voltage transformers, such as magnetic-track or 12 V puck systems fed by an electronic LV supply. For those, an ELV-specific dimmer like the Leviton IPE04-1LZ IllumaTech Decora electronic low voltage slide dimmer, also 1-pole/3-way, is the correct type.
5) What is the closest Leviton alternative to the Pass & Seymour WSCL453P slide dimmer?
The nearest Leviton counterpart is the IllumaTech Decora slide dimmer IPE04-1LZ, a 1-pole/3-way slide dimmer in white. It matches the WSCL453P on switching configuration, since the Pass & Seymour unit is also single pole/3-way, and both use a slide-style control in a decorator opening. The difference is load type: the IPE04-1LZ is an electronic low voltage dimmer, intended for electronic low voltage transformer loads, while the WSCL453P is rated 450W for LED and CFL and 700W for incandescent. Pick by the load on the circuit, not by the faceplate style.
6) What is the difference between the paddle and the slider on this Pass & Seymour dimmer?
They are two separate controls. The Decorator-style paddle is the ON/OFF switch, and the slider beside it sets the dim level. Because it is a preset design, you leave the slider where you want it and use the paddle day to day. The constant memory feature brings the lights back to that same level after a power outage, so the slider setting is not lost.
7) How do the wire terminations work on this dimmer, and does it take solid or stranded wire?
The WSCL453P uses screw-pressure-plate back wire terminals. You strip the conductor, push it in behind the plate, and tighten the screw, which clamps the wire flat rather than wrapping it around a binding head. That style of terminal holds solid or stranded conductors and speeds up rough-in in a crowded box. A wall plate is a separate item.
8) We standardize on ivory devices across the building - does the Leviton IllumaTech slide dimmer match?
The Leviton IllumaTech Decora slide dimmer IPE04-1LZ is a white device, so it will not match an ivory wall. The Pass & Seymour WSCL453P is stocked in both ivory, as WSCL453P-TC, and white, as WSCL453P-W, with the same single pole/3-way configuration and matte finish either way, which lets one dimmer model cover both color standards in a mixed portfolio.
9) Is the Leviton IPE04-1LZ a drop-in replacement for a Pass & Seymour WSCL453P paddle dimmer?
They are not interchangeable on function even though both are 1-pole/3-way slide dimmers that fit a decorator opening. The IPE04-1LZ is an electronic low voltage dimmer from the Decora IllumaTech series, while the WSCL453P is a paddle-plus-slider device rated 450W LED/CFL and 700W incandescent with constant memory that restores the previous dim level after a power interruption. Swapping one for the other changes which loads the circuit can dim, so confirm the fixture type before substituting.
10) Is the Pass & Seymour WSCL453P sold individually or by the case?
Packaging on the Wide Slide paddle dimmer is 24 each, which is how it is boxed for multi-family and new-construction work where you are trimming out many openings in the same color. Order the Ivory and White part numbers separately rather than expecting a mixed box.
11) What is the WSCL453P dimmer housing made of, and is it suitable for commercial corridors and common areas?
Construction is steel and thermoplastic, with the steel strap carrying the mounting and the thermoplastic forming the paddle and body. The description calls out both residential and commercial lighting control, and the preset paddle operation suits tenant spaces and common areas where you want the level fixed and the staff or occupants only switching it on and off.
