Duplex Switch Help (Leviton VRCS2-MRZ)

[jt114881 (Joshua Thompson)]

Doing some research I have found that because each of my hanging lights only uses a 5w LED light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0191G6TR6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There may not be enough load on the switch for it to completely turn the lights off. Because of this I will need to install a “dummy load”.

Fix Dimming LED Lights That Flicker or Wont Turn Off

A number of community members have concerns about using automated dimmers and LED lighting loads because of issues with flickering or not turning fully off. This is caused because the LEDs require so little power compared to traditional bulbs. A fix is to add resistance with a “dummy load” to increase the power consumption. Fibaro sells a “dimmer bypass” which appears to be a resistor intended specifically for this purpose. You can read about it here and some MiCasaVerde users’ experiences here. Can anyone suggest an off-the-shelf solution for adding a resistor as opposed to overpaying for the Fibaro solution? This is not a one-size-fits-all issue as every lighting load is different and will depend on how much combined wattage your specific LEDs are consuming.

It may be cheaper for me to just get higher wattage bulbs.
