Please confirm the following:

• Is your circuit 120V?
  A 120V circuit is required, and is standard in North American homes.

• Is your wiring up to code, with Neutral and Ground wires?
  Both Neutral and Ground wires are required, and present in most modern homes. Refer to Steps 5 and 6 for more details about wires.

• Are you replacing a single or 3-way/multi-way switch?
  If you are replacing a 3-way/multi-way switch, meaning that you can control the same light(s) from more than one switch, you should confirm that the Brilliant can support your configuration. Refer to Step 1 for pictures of the supported configurations.

• Do you have the right tools?
  A size 2 screwdriver is needed to remove your old switch, and to install Brilliant.

• Is your gang box a standard size?
  A gang box is the electrical box in the wall, behind the light switch. The box must have an interior width of no less than 137mm, and an interior height of no less than 70mm. Standard sizes will work.

Check Compatibility

Make sure Brilliant is compatible with the location where you’re installing it.

• If the 120V switch you are going to replace activates a light that other switches also control (often referred to as 3-way or multi-way lighting), please find the picture of your setup on the next pages to confirm compatibility.

If your light is controlled by…

Switches

• Will work: Two Brilliant controllers
• Will work: Brilliant and non-dimming switch (at either end)
• Won’t work: Brilliant and dimming switch (at either end)

One circuit shown for simplicity. See Step 6b, or visit

for more info on wiring multi-way circuits.

or More Switches

• Will work: All Brilliant controllers (connected through WiFi)
• Will work: Brilliant at either end (or both ends) and a non-dimming switch
• Won’t work: Brilliant in the middle
• Won’t work: Brilliant at the end, with a dimmer anywhere else

Remove Light Switch

Unscrew your old switch cover and light switch from the wall.

Pull the light switch out from the gang box, and take pictures of the wires, in case you need to reference them later. Then, disconnect the attached wires, and remove your old light switch.

Identify Each Circuit

Single Pole (Go to 5a)
One light switch that controls a light or set of lights.

3-Way/Multi-Way (Go to 6a)
Two or more light switches that control the same set of lights.

Single Pole

5a Identify Your Wires Ground wire(s) (exposed green or copper) typically come from the wall box
Neutral wire(s) (white)
typically come in a bundle and are fastened together by a wire nut. You must connect all of them.

Single Pole 5b Connect Wires

• Line and Load are interchangeable. Brilliant will automatically sense which is which.

Wires and Wire Nuts
Wires and Wire Nuts are used to connect two or more wires together, or extend the length. They are not usually needed, but you will often use them for Neutral wires.

• Select a wire extension from the box. Match the color of the wires you’re connecting.
• Holding the wires together and parallel, insert them into a wire nut. Twist the wire nut clockwise until secure. Double check by tugging on the wires.
• Tuck the bundle into the back of the gang box.

Single Pole
5c Screws and Wires

1. Step
   Place wires in hole as deep as possible.

2. Step
   Turn screw clockwise with screwdriver.

3. Step
   Tighten until wires are secure. Test by tugging.

Then go to Step 7

1. Warning: Short Circuits – Multiple Supply Terminals – Connect All Supply Terminals to the SAME Phase Branch Circuit Only – Do Not Connect to Different Phase Branch Supply Circuits.

3-Way/Multiway 6a Identify Your Wires

Ground wire(s) (exposed green or copper) typically come from the wall box

Neutral wire(s) (white)
typically come in a pair and are fastened together by a wire nut. You must connect all of them.

3-Way/Multiway 6b Connect Wires

Traveler wires are interchangeable. Brilliant will automatically sense which is which.

Wires and Wire Nuts
Wires and Wire Nuts are used to connect two or more wires together, or extend the length. They are not usually needed, but you will often use them for Neutral wires.

• Select a wire extension from the box. Match the color of the wires you’re connecting.
• Holding the wires together and parallel, insert them into a wire nut. Twist the wire nut clockwise until secure. Double check by tugging on wires.
• Tuck the bundle into the back of the gang box.

3-Way/Multiway
6c Screws and Wires

1. Step
   Place wires in hole as deep as possible.

2. Step
   Turn screw clockwise with screwdriver.

3. Step
   Tighten until wires are secure. Test by tugging.

Warning: Short Circuits – Multiple Supply Terminals – Connect All Supply Terminals to the SAME Phase Branch Circuit Only – Do Not Connect to Different Phase Branch Supply Circuits.

Install Base

Place wires in the gang box and attach the Base.
Before Proceeding Avant de continuer

• The strain reliefs are designed to bend to accommodate differences in gang box styles and mountings. Some bending of the strain reliefs is normal, but be careful not to overtighten. Once the strain reliefs start to bend, you can stop.

Test Lights

• Turn the circuit breaker back on to provide power to the Base. Press the white buttons in the center to turn the lights on and off. If the lights do not turn on/off, do not install the Faceplate. Instead, turn the breaker off, remove the screws, and re-check your wire connections.

Secure Faceplate

• Test the Base and secure the Faceplate.
• Line up the brackets on the Base with the holes on the Faceplate. Press the Faceplate into the brackets and slide down until it clicks. The Faceplate will start up.
