Linear WD500Z-1 with two slaves (4-way circuit) running very hot

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

I think I’ve hit the load limit on a Linear WD500Z-1 - it’s running very hot, with 4 ceiling fixtures running off it.

It’s in a 4-gang box, so I can try switching it out with one of its slaves that is in a smaller box to try to improve cooling - but I’m curious, anybody know of a higher-capacity Linear that works as a master with the Linear WT00Z-1 slaves?

Thanks!

Very hot is very bad.

I don't think that Linear makes a higher wattage dimmer. But Leviton makes 1000 watt dimmers. The Linear "slaves" as you call them are one button scene controllers. You should be able to associate them with the Leviton dimmers just fine.
