This is interesting. Jasco’s Enbrighten line has had a few “no neutral“ dimmer models in the past, but they were always limited to incandescents and halogens. (Resistive Loads) . This new model will also work with dimmable CFL‘s and LEDs.
I am told by a friend that they were specifically interested in entry lights because of their “mutual assistance“ deal with ring security, but I haven’t seen that published anywhere.
Anyway, I know this will be a welcome model for many people.
@jkp points out that previous “Enbrighten“ models also had the GE logo, but a couple of the newer devices, including this one, don’t. Jasco has always put out the same device under a couple of different names, so I don’t know if this means anything or not, or if it’s just that they haven’t yet added the newest models to their GE license.
What’s the model number? The one I linked to, model number 52252, is flagged as new on the manufacturer site, and only has five reviews at Amazon, with the first review being from March 2021.
If it worked in your configuration, that’s great, but as @Automated_House noted The new one is specifically designed to handle dimmable LEDs and can go down to a 2W load without flickers, so it should appeal to a lot of people Who weren’t able to use the older model.
