Rotary fan speed control

The Leviton 6616-1XW is a rotary switch that provides full-range variable speed control for ceiling paddle fans. It is rated for 12 V and 20 HP duty with split-capacitor or shaded-pole motors. The single-pole device fits in shallow wallboxes and installs without a neutral wire.

Installers needing simple speed adjustment

Electricians and homeowners who want a white rotary knob to set minimum and maximum fan speeds will find this unit practical. It supports multiple fans on one circuit provided the total load stays within the 5 A rating. Buyers who need remote, smart-home or multi-location control should look at a different type of controller.

12 V 20 HP motor rating

The switch is certified for 12 V operation and a 20 HP motor load, making the voltage and horsepower rating the key specification to match against the fan manufacturer's data. The IP00 enclosure and copper housing are built for indoor wallbox mounting only. Confirm the motor type is split-capacitor or shaded-pole before purchasing.
