Maestro LED+ Dimmer Switch for Dimmable LED Bulbs, 150W/Single-Pole or Multi-Location, White (MACL-153MH-WH)

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Works as claimed, easy to install and program. Just remember if not reading instructions you have to rewire the other switch if using 3 way switch.

I installed this on some new LED can lights in my kitchen. It’s works great plus the fade in and out is a cool touch.....Will be using them more around my house as remodeling will be going on over he next year or two.....

Just what I needed for my new FEIT Electric LED GU5.3 bi-pin 50Watt Dimmable Daylight LED Flood Lights to work properly! The only down side is instead of a slow up to full bright it’s much quicker than the older model of Lutron Dimmer switch that could only control halogen or incandescent bulbs but not LED, so for that reason I was forced to upgrade to this model just to be able to properly control the LED Light Bulbs.

Works as described. Easy installation and instructions. Wish it had a timer option.

Unfortunately this dimmer does not completely switch to Off position. I used it for outdoor LED Stringed Lights and at the OFF position the lights remain very dim

Very stylish, easy installation, works with led light bulb and no neutral wire required

The Lutron Maestro digital dimmer represents a huge improvement in old school dimming devices. This digital device eliminates many of the limitations we just accepted in the past. This dimmer allows you to control and dim a lighting circuit from up to 10 locations using its Companion dimmers. In the past we would have used a combination of 3-way and 4-way dimmers and have only 1 of them dimmable. Not with these. All of these are fully capable of controlling the light level independent of the others. No more walking across the room to turn up a dimmed light because you can't control it from another switch. I'll never install another old style dimmer after seeing this unit. These dimmers introduce the idea of a "Communication" traveler, allowing multiple devices to communicate with one another. These all connect to a blue screw, which I've not seen on any older 3 or 4-way switches/dimmers. Don't rely on past experience with 3 and 4-way wiring. They operate much differently and concept of travelers for mechanical switching is history with these. Replacing a single switch with a Maestro dimmer is super simple and much like replacing a switch with an older dimmer. Replacing 3 and 4-way switches is where the communication traveler comes into play. The wiring is still very simple, but you have to be sure to remember what color wires you are using as the communication traveler on the blue screws. You'll need to note which wires are the line and load wires as well. I like to use #1 Robertson screwdriver bits on wiring devices, but these units work best with #0 bits. Flat blade and Phillips are also usable, of course. Ganging these requires removal of 3 small tabs on either side of the device, as is the case on many dimmers. This is easily done with a pair of pliers. Dimming performance is excellent, once the programming is complete for LEDs or CFLs. The programming is fast but the instructions must be followed closely. Incandescent lighting works immediately without programming. Be sure to get compatible bulbs. Not only do incompatible bulbs not work well (or at all), use of them can void the warranty. Also, be sure to use the same brand and kind of bulb for all the lights on the same circuit. Mixing incandescent and LED will function (sort of), but light levels will be majorly different (see picture). We are super pleased with these dimmers. Rarely do we see something this game-changing in devices that haven't changed materially in decades. Really excellent engineering and performance.

I recently installed these dimmers all through my house. They're a bit on the pricier side but you can't compare the looks vs the ones with the clunky slide knobs. These by far look the best, and give the best range of control on light output. I will say, the range of dimming varies with the type of bulbs you are using. Some LEDs will dim more or less than others. - In my dining room I have incandescents in a chandelier and they go from full brightness all the way down to near candlelight (first part of video below) - In my bedrooms I have retrofit LED recessed lighting and they get very bright, but only dim down to say 25% (2nd part of video below) - In my kitchen I have LED flood bulbs (regular flood bulbs, not retrofit can light) and those went from full brightness all the way down to barely visible (not in video) All said, no complaints. They're great to have in the morning, when full brightness isn't so easy on the eyes, and also at night when you're winding down but still want to be able to see. Very happy with them and expect years of use.

Just an FYI, the three pack doesn't save any money according to the online pricing but it offers buying convenience. You do save money with the six pack on the other hand. Lutron has a very extensive compatibility list of LED and CFL bulbs that have been tested so that you won't end up with buzzing or flickering. If your bulb isn't on the list you may actually need a different type of technology to avoid those issues. Lutron offers a slightly more expensive dimmer for those situations. It's a matter of bulb technology and not a problem with the dimmer. The delayed off feature is great to keep you from stumbling over furniture or pets as you leave a room where the switch is at the door or where the next room is dark as well. The small LEDs that indicate the level of dimming are not so bright as to be annoying. I have had these dimmers installed in some parts of my home for more than 15 years and they are reliable, quiet and attractive.
