About This Product

Let Lutron's Maestro LED+ Motion Sensor/Dimmer Switch turn the lights on and off to your favorite level. Install a Maestro LED+ Motion Sensor/Dimmer Switch and the lights will turn on when you enter the room, and then turn off automatically after you leave. Use the rocker to adjust the light level or set a preset level to ensure the lights always turn on to your desired light level. Equipped with smart ambient light detection, you can customize your sensing dimmer to detect daylight so lights don't turn on with enough natural light in your room. It also features XCT sensing technology to detect fine motion, such as typing at a desk or reading a book, to ensure lights won't turn off inadvertently when you're still in the room. Keeping the sleek design of the Maestro family, Lutron sensors will match the decor of any room in your home. Program your lights to turn off 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes after you leave the room; switch to vacancy-only mode so the sensor/dimmer switch only turns off your lights to meet Title 24 requirements. Install it in the laundry room for added convenience when your hands are full, or in the kids' rooms and never worry about lights being left on by mistake. Maestro Occupancy Sensing dimmers work with any bulb type, including dimmable LED bulbs. This occupancy sensing dimmer can also be easily programmed to function as a vacancy (manual-on) sensor. Coordinating Claro wall plate included.

      I got this sensor to automatically turn on LED lights in a bathroom when I walk in. It looks like the sensor is leaking power even when there is no motion - the LEDs flicker but do not turn on once in a while when there is no activity. How can I fix it?

        How do you always have the light on?
        ByApr 18, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello John, thank you for your inquiry! The Maestro Sensor Dimmer MSCL-OP153M utilizes passive infrared sensors to detect motion and automatically control lighting. This ensures that the lights remain on as long as there is movement in the room. Additionally, the dimmer can be configured to stay on for a maximum of 30 minutes when no motion is detected. However, it will always turn off based on the preset timeout settings when no motion is detected, unfortunately, there is no feature to keep the lights continuously on. For more questions or concerns, contact our Support Team at support@lutron.com or 1-844-LUTRON1. We're here 24/7, you can call us any day or anytime.

          Is this a 3 way switch
          BySep 4, 2024
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi, Larry. You can install a MSCL-OP153M in single pole, 3 -way, or 4-way applications. For a 3-way application, you could either use it in conjunction with a standard 3-way mechanical switch or with the companion dimmer (model# MA-R). For 4-way applications, you would need to replace the other switches in the circuits with the companion dimmers MA-R. Please see the following support site for more information: (https://support.lutron.com/us/en/product/maestro/article/product-installation/Maestro-MSCL-OP153M-MSCL-VP153M-Motion-Sensor-Dimmer-Wiring-Installation). If you still have any questions, please reach out to our Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

              When the motion is activated, does it go to full blast or can I set it to a dim level to turn on?
              ByMay 22, 2024
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello Miguel, thank you for your question. Although the default Occupied Level is 100%, it may be set for a preset light level as well, so that it comes on to a dim level when motion activates the sensor. See the below programming guide for all available settings and features: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/048480a.pdf We hope this helps! If you require further assistance, our 24/7 support team is here to help. We can be reached at 1-844-LUTRON1 or via email at support@lutron.com.

                  the dim feature is useless
                  it's a dimwit not a maestro. i don't get how this item is a dimmer when it can't remember the dim setting. i mean, what's the point of even trying to use the dim option ? as soon as you walk away and come back, it's on full blast. i would even choose to not have the auto on/off feature, and set it to the dim level that i want, and leave it on. but i can't. it turns off, and when i come back, it's on full blase

                    The switch is awesome! I’ve used it for staircase lighting and it completely works the way I want it to! It captures when I approach the stairs on the upper level and slowly fades my lights on illuminating my path. Additionally, it turns off when not in use. It is so easy to program and has nearly endless functions! I would use this product again and again!

                    The perfect switch for that updated renovated room. It's 2025, if you are switching to LED, smart, or any type of futuristic lights, this is the switch to get. an easy task for any DIY skill level. I love it! Every room will have one. Adaptable smart settings!!!
                    by
                      Installation was easy, 2 pwr wires, and a case ground. It fit perfect. Programmable for the amount of time it stays on after you leave (within limits of course). You can set the brightness you want when you first walk in, not just 100% bright (initial setting). A couple other features you can adjust also. This makes the steep price tag it command's ~ $41.00+ for (1) light switch. That’s a lot bucks IMO. (maybe you can find a discount if you’re old like me). The convenience of not having to fumble for the a small light switch, or slider bar in the middle of the night is well worth the cost.

                      Used this to operate an LED driver powering some toe kick lighting on a floating bathroom vanity. Works like a charm giving the customer indirect lighting as soon as they enter the bathroom. The only disappointment was that I can't figure out how to get the motion sensor to kick the lights back on at a preset dimmed level, however I am just assuming that I didn't properly take the time to find the correct setting.

                      I have had a few of these switches around the house for a few years and they work great. I use them in closets, hallways, outside sheds and even with a desk light so that lights come on automatically when I enter the room or open a door or set down at my desk and I don't have to flip a switch when I leave. You can never forget to turn off a light. The sensitivity is adjustable and the dimmer works on LED's. LED's do not flicker with this switch. They are easy to wire. Just 2 wires and a ground.

                      This switch is great but the installation instructions need improvement. I wired it in conjunction with an existing 3-way mechanical switch and had to experiment to get it working correctly. I suppose it'd be okay if I had a switch that was labeled "Terminal 1" as they refer to it, but don't they realize that 3-way switches are produced by several manufacturers who don't necessarily label their product in the same manner? It would have been nice to get a wiring diagram (schematic). It also would be good if you could defeat the dimming feature if you wanted to use it on fluorescent fixtures.

                      Very versitle switch - lots of programmable features
                      Installed this in my daughters house for kitchen lighting. I previously replaced the incandescent lights (track fixtures) with LED bulbs in her kitchen. This unit works as a '3 way switch', or as a simple switch. MSCL-OP153M is rated 600W incandescent or 150W LED. If you don't need the 3 way switch function, a slightly lower cost version of this switch is available. These type of PIR (Passive Infra Red) switches are usually either: Occupancy Mode - Automatically turns on the light, then off if no motion is detected Vacancy Mode - You have to manually turn on the light then it shuts off if no motion is detected This switch works either way, you configure it. Setting / teaching / programming it at what level of ambient light it should turn on is the hardest part. Easiest to do at the ambient light conditions when you want auto activate. The included instruction sheet is sufficient for basic out of the box installation. However I'd recommend downloading the "full guide" (see below) from Lutron for maximum versatility. Ramping in and out the light level, sensitivity, timeout etc. You may need to remove the cover to pull the light disconnect switch, they call it "FASS" in the guide. You need to open (pull forward) this switch to program it. Installing this switch took me under an hour, and I'm not a professional. Most of that time; What breaker controls the power to those lights? Is this a 'simple switch' or part of a '3 way switch' hook up. The switch has 4 connection points: Push in 14AWG solid and standard screw connections (3 points), and the ground. There are multiple ways to wire two (or more) switches to independently control a light. Their web page has a 24 page pdf guide / information here: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/048480a.pdf Field of view is near 180° from the face of the sensor. It has manual overrides for PIR functions. That is, it will work as a simple switch, but that defeats the features of a 'smart switch'. Since this is an 'electronic switch' you cannot use an ohm meter to pin it out...you need to read the manual! On initial power up, the switch does a self calibration that may take a minute or two to become functional.
