Questions and Answers for Lutron Skylark Contour LED+ Dimmer Switch for LED and Incandescent Bulbs, 150-Watt/Single-Pole or 3-Way, White (CTCL-153PDH-WH)

A:  Hello! The SCL-153P is a standard dimmer switch that can toggle your lights on and off, as well as dim them up and down. This device will control whatever lighting load you have connected to the dimmer. We recommend checking our LED Compatibility List at www.lutron.com/ledfinder to ensure that you are using compatible LED bulbs with your dimmer. If you still have questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1. We're here 24/7, so you can reach out any time, day or night.

A:  Yes

A:  Currently, there's no industry standard or regulation for manufacturing LEDs, which is why performance varies with dimming controls. That's why we extensively test a variety of LEDs from many different manufacturers, and offer a mobile-friendly web tool to help you select bulbs that provide the best dimming performance with your Lutron dimmers. To access the tool, please visit lutron.com/ledfinder. If you have additional questions, please reach out to our Support Team at support@lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1.

A:  I have not tried to do what you are doing.  Heat in a dimmer switch is from the internal circuit board and is minimal.  I don't see any problem with what you are trying to do.

A:  Yes, these controls can be ganged together but the metal fins on the side will need to removed. Removing the fins on the side lowers the maximum wattage the dimmer can handle if using incandescent/halogen bulbs. Please refer to the install guide for the wattage information, or give us a call at anytime 888-588-7661.

A:  Yes. That should be possible if you have the two gang box.

A:  Yes.  I run this for recessed lights and have a separate switch for my kitchen ceiling fan in a 2 switch gang box.

A:  Yes, you can. That will not be a problem.

A:  We're sorry to hear about the issues you're having. We're here to help! Please reach out to our Support Team at support@Lutron.com or give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1 for assistance.

A:  You are probably correct that dust has caused the problem.  Only thing I can think of is disconnect and take it to a shop that has air compressor with high pressure hose and try to clean it.  I would not try to dis-assemble.  If you do something wrong it may become a fire hazard hidden behind your wall.  My opinion, spend the money and buy a new one.  

A:  Try removing the switch and use a fine bristle brush follow by busts of compressed air.  Maybe that will get rid of the dust?

A:  I would try blowing the dust out with an air compressor or canned air.

A:  You could try blowing it out using a can of compressed air. It's made to clean electronic equipment and would be safe for this. Good luck.

A:  The CTCL-153P can be used in a existing 4 way application (3 switches controlling 1 light) however, it can only be installed at one of the 3 way locations. Only one dimmer will be installed in this circuit, the other devices will be the existing 3-way and 4 way switches.

A:  No. No Wi-Fi connectivity

A:  This dimmer does not work with Alexa or other third party integrators.

A:  For 3-way installations, only one STCL-153P may be used. The second location would have to be a 3-way mechanical on/off switch. If dimming is required at both locations, Lutron recommends the MACL-153M and its companion dimmer MA-R.

A:  I used one dimmer switch and common 3 way on the other end.

A:  You can try working with the adjustment lever on the left hand side of the dimmer. You must remove the wall plate to access the adjustment lever. For more help, please call our TOLL FREE, 7 DAY, 24 HOUR, Technical Support Hotline at ( 1-800-523-9466 ).

A:  They are the same dimmer, the only difference is the packaging they come in.
