Some dimmers contain a metal mounting strap that has fins designed to dissipate heat from the device. If more than one dimmer is being installed in a multi-gang application, the user may be required to break off the fins before installing. Please refer to installation instructions for when it is necessary to remove the fins.
Derating may be required if you have two or more dimmers sharing a wallbox to help dissipate the internal heat of the dimmer. Some dimmers will have fins (heat sink) on the side which will need to be removed. This decreases the wattage capacity that the dimmer can control. Be sure to refer to the dimmer instruction sheet for fin removal. Derating is NOT required when using dimmable LED or dimmable CFL bulbs. Refer to the derating chart in the instructions for maximum load per dimmer.
