No neutral required reduces wiring complexity and unlocks faster retrofits. This saves material costs and minimizes field errors, especially in existing boxes where neutrals may be misrouted or absent. The OS306U-A is designed for 120 V circuits and is commonly used in offices, classrooms, and hallways where reliable occupancy sensing matters. With a 600 W load rating and broad load compatibility, it handles ELV, MLV, LED, CFL, FLR, INC, and HAL lighting. Business benefit: predictable performance across mixed lamp types reduces replacement cycles and support calls. Application: suitable for retrofit projects in multi-tenant spaces and light commercial facilities that mix technologies. Single-pole and three-way configurations give installation flexibility while maintaining control in complex layouts. Flush mounting provides a clean, low-profile appearance that blends with Almond-colored fixtures. The maintained (on) closure supports long-press toggling and reliable operation in high-traffic areas. Wire leads simplify installation over screw-terminal options, and the 450 sq ft coverage is well-suited for most open-plan spaces. The 120 V, single-phase design aligns with standard building power distribution and reduces integration risk with existing switchgear. Color and finish compatibility helps meet aesthetic requirements in professional environments. Compliance and reliability come from cULus Listed NOM certifications, ensuring safety and regulatory alignment in North America. Industry practitioners gain confidence that the device will meet wiring codes and survive daily wear. These attributes contribute to a lower total cost of ownership through fewer failures and predictable energy savings.
