We are very pleased with the quality. This particular Enerlite Light and Humidity Control switch is pretty wild. They even offer a 5-year warranty with it. I was happy to see that this particular product lives up to the quality I was used to with their products. This unit even had its wires clearly labeled. You will need to provide your own wall plate for it. They do provide, however, 6 wire nuts to help you get the job done.

First let’s start by saying safety First. Be sure to turn off the breaker to the circuits prior to trying to connect the switch. That being said, this switch is very useful. It is equipped with two sensors: a motion sensor and a humidity sensor. Both are designed to turn on automatically. These would be connected to the lights and the fan, in any bathroom of your choice. On the rear of the switch are 6 wires: one ground wire-green, one neutral wire-white, two line ins-1 black & 1 blue, and two load outs-1 red & 1 brown. If you have separate power coming in for the fan and the light, you can use each individual line in. However, if you only have one power feed you would need to connect both line ins to the same power, then connect the loads to the respective load. It’s that simple, cover with a standard rocker switch wall plate and enjoy.

This unit arrives with factory settings. The directions included are pretty clear, and spell out clearly how to switch it to quick installation mode, if you want to. So, you will either have a 15-second or 30-minute delay. This unit is great, especially for smaller bathrooms, where humidity can build up fast. That in turn can build mold up. I am highly allergic to mold, so I am very happy with this unit. My kids never turn on the fan. With this, I do not have that worry anymore. I even forget to turn it on. So many times I get into the shower, and then half way through, the shower starts to get really stuffy. When the humidity builds up the fan goes on, and after it clears up, it just turns of on its own. You will get so spoiled by this. Why they don’t make bathroom fans with this feature is beyond me.

I was afforded the opportunity to review Top Greener’s Enerlites DWHOS-W Humidity / PIR Motion Sensor Switch to Control Bathroom Fan and Light, in exchange for an unbiased and honest review.
