Reading the Enerlites Catalog by Device Number
Enerlites publishes a wide catalog and Lumera stocks 1,182 items of it, so the practical skill on this page is reading the device numbers instead of scrolling. Most of the range files under wiring devices, and the numbering carries you the rest of the way.
Which Enerlites Line You Need
Screwless Wall Plates and Covers
The SI88 series is the core plate line: snap-in screwless plates where the last digit states the gang count, the number of device openings across the plate, so SI8831 is one gang and SI8836 is six. Standard and mid-size versions exist for most counts, MA models add an antimicrobial surface, and finishes run from white, ivory, and light almond to gray, black, nickel, silver, and gold.
Blank, toggle, and keystone port versions follow the same logic, and the full set sits in the wall plates and switch plates collection.
Matching mounting screws come in 30-packs under the SR88 numbers, which saves a scramble when a finish changes late in a job.
Receptacles, GFCI, and USB Power
Receptacles and decorator devices run under numbers beginning with 6, and every title names the NEMA configuration, the standardized blade pattern: 5-15R for standard 15A, 5-20R for 20A, and 250V versions as 6-15R and 6-20R. A 5-20R face accepts both 15A and 20A plugs, which is why it shows up on shared circuits.
Suffixes carry the protection level. TR marks tamper resistant shutters, TWR adds a weather resistant rating on top of TR, and PLH marks half controlled plug load receptacles. GFT numbers are the self grounding GFCI receptacles in 15A and 20A, GFCI meaning ground fault circuit interrupter protection. Note that only part of the receptacle range currently files under the receptacles collection, so this brand page is the more complete path.
USB power comes two ways: complete Wi-Fi receptacles with charging ports, and USB15L and USB20L replacement modules mixing Type-A and Type-C ports. The module route lets a crew standardize one device body and swap port layouts later.
Switches and Dimmers
Toggle switches cluster under 81 for single pole, 82 for double pole and two-in-one combination switches, 83 for three-way, and 84 for four-way, with commercial models rated 120/277V. Heavy-duty versions, pilot light versions marked PL, and antimicrobial versions with a trailing A extend each base number. Decorator switches use 91 for single pole and 93 for three-way, and the full switch range sits in the light switches collection.
The amperage is usually embedded in the number itself: 61150 and 82150 are 15A, 62040 and 81200 are 20A, and 82300 is 30A. A few models such as the 91245 decorator switch break the pattern, so read the amperage in the title, which is always stated.
Dimming runs from the 51300L and 55307L 0-10V decorator slide dimmers to a 12V slide model and the Wi-Fi WF500D and Z-Wave ZW500DM units, all filed with the rest of the range in the dimmer collection.
Sensors, Timers, and Room Controls
In-wall occupancy and vacancy sensing uses the HMOS and HMVS numbers with PIR detection, PIR meaning passive infrared. Ceiling and high bay sensing uses the MPC line in line voltage and 24V versions, with MDC and MDW models adding dual technology detection. The wall and ceiling units file under occupancy and motion sensors.
HET06 countdown timers run to 4 hours, HET06A versions to 30 minutes, and HET01 covers 7-day programmable and astronomic scheduling. The J and R letters matter on this shelf: models marked ground required install without a neutral conductor, while models marked neutral required need one in the box, which decides retrofit feasibility before anything else does.
Low voltage room control is its own subsystem. LVS button stations and LVD 0-10V dimmers connect through LV-CAT5 couplers to the MPP-24 power pack, and Lumera lists the RC1 and RC2 packages that bundle those parts for a single room.
Finding Enerlites Across Lumera Collections
Nine of the HET timer models are filed in the time switches and timers collection for side by side comparison with other brands.
The 17000 series slide fan controls, with and without a built-in dimmer, appear under fan speed controls and fan timers.
Two gaps are worth knowing. The GFCI category and the floor box category currently show no Enerlites items. That leaves this brand page and site search as the working route to the GFT receptacles and to the 975 series floor box kits in brass, nickel plated brass, and stainless steel.
What to Check Before Ordering Enerlites
Match the amperage and NEMA configuration to the circuit, not just to the plug on hand. Check the voltage rating, since commercial switches list 120/277V and specialty models differ. Specify TR where tamper resistance is required and TWR where weather exposure applies. On sensors and timers, confirm the neutral or ground requirement against what the wall box actually contains. Finishes are separate SKUs, so order devices and plates in the same finish code, and confirm listings model by model on each product page rather than assuming one certification across the brand.
Enerlites Ordering and Spec Questions
What is the difference between TR and TWR on Enerlites devices?
TR receptacles have tamper resistant shutters that block single-prong insertion, the standard requirement in most dwelling locations. TWR versions keep the shutters and add a weather resistant rating for damp and wet installations behind a proper cover. If the device faces outdoors, TWR is the one to specify.
What does neutral required or ground required mean on the timers and sensors?
Some electronic models power themselves through a neutral conductor and are marked neutral required, so the wall box must have one. Ground required versions operate without a neutral but need an equipment ground instead. Open the wall box first, then pick the version that matches the conductors present.
What is the difference between occupancy and vacancy modes?
Occupancy mode turns lights on automatically when motion is detected and off after the space empties. Vacancy mode requires a manual press to turn on and only handles the automatic off. Energy codes in some jurisdictions call for vacancy behavior, and the HMOS and HMVS models cover both approaches.
Do the color letters change the device spec?
No. The letters after the base number set the finish only, so a 62040-TR-BK and a 62040-TR-W share the same electrical rating. Pick the base number for the spec, then repeat the finish code across devices and plates so the wall matches.
Which Enerlites numbers cover switches versus receptacles?
Numbers starting with 6 cover receptacles and decorator devices, the 8 range covers toggle switches by pole and way, and 91 and 93 cover decorator switches. The prefix narrows the family fast, and the title then confirms amperage, configuration, and protection suffixes.
