Maestro 300-Watt Single Pole Dimmer and 2.5 Amp Countdown Timer - Light Almond

The MA-L3T251 is rated for 300W of incandescent/halogen lights only for the lighting load. Lutron does not recommend using LED lights with this device as there will likely be performance issues with the LED light, such as flickering, strobing or ghosting.

Unfortunately there is no stacked dimmer/switch controls that Lutron has which are rated for use with LED lights. Lutron recommends incandescent or halogen bulbs only with this device and other stacked button controls.

We are sorry to hear about the issues you are having. Please reach out to our Support Team at support@Lutron.com or by phone at 1 (844) 588-7661 for assistance with your inquiry.

The dimming portion of this control is only rated for up to 300W of incandescent/halogen lighting. If this rating is exceeded, it would quickly overheat the dimmer and cause it to fail. Due to this fact, Lutron would not suggest using both of these bulbs with this control.

The MA-L3T251 is only designed to control 300W of incandescent/halogen lighting loads and switch a 2.5A fan or lighting load. Due to this fact, Lutron would not suggest using LEDs with this control.

I have not personally seen a halogen bulb start to fail. They typically just failed. Anyhow, just to make sure, you are aware the small toggle switch to the right of the main light switch is a "dimmer." It will retain whatever dimming setting you last used. So, if someone purposely or accidentally lowered the setting, it will look like you have a dim bulb. Press the top portion of the toggle until you get the full brightness. You may also have a low end trim set up on your switch. You can look up directions to change the trim setting to high end. Hope that helps.

Currently, Lutron does not offer a dual wall box control that is compatible with LED’s, the lighting load would need to remain incandescent or halogen bulbs. We have passed your inquiry on to our team as we are always considering options for additional products.

Lutron would suggest determining whether the xenon lamp is an incandescent style light with a filament or if the lamp is actually more like a neon/cold cathode type lamp in order to determine how it will dim. If the lamp is an incandescent style with a filament, it could be dimmed with regular line voltage or with a low voltage control. The MA-L3L3 is rated for 300W of incandescent/halogen lighting and has a minimum load of 40W on each circuit.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. There are basically two single-pole devices in this bundled unit. The top device is a single-pole dimmer with a screw on each side; the bottom device is a single-pole timer with a screw on each side. There is also a grounding wire coming off the bottom. I suspect it connects to each device internally somewhere but you only need to attach that ground wire to a ground wire for your box. Note that even though it's a nifty little 2-in-1 package, each device must be attached to its own hot wire. Unlike the ancient single-gang double-rocker switch that I replaced, you can't just feed a hot line into one switch and let a connecting tab pass power from one device to the other. My solution was to run two pigtails off the incoming hot wire, then attach one pigtail to the hot screw of each of the devices. This allows them to work independently of each other, so the fan will stay on for (however long you set it) even after you turn off the light and walk away. And that, of course, is the whole point.

Yes, since the wattage is under 200 watts this product should be able to control both.
