I was wondering about the proper use of box mounted dimming or switching modules in a fixture canopy. If you were to use these new wireless modules to provide dimming and switiching of wall sconces or ceiling luminaires do you need a local switch to turn off power for servicing , changing lamps.
I was looking at a installation. There was a long hallway and the electrician pulled power from available switches or outlets along the hall to provide un-switched power to each new light, then a RF module stuffed into each box where a light was mounted to provide switching from a corresponding RF device.
I think it was a neat install. is it legit because I was concerned that you cannot be sure the power is off to change a lamp or remove a broken one.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
