A:  Hello! Yes, the CTCL-153P is a TRIAC-based dimmer switch. You can view the specification sheet for this dimmer switch here: https://assets.lutron.com/a/documents/369683.pdf 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 still have questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-844-LUTRON1. We're here 24/7, so you can reach out anytime, day or night.

A:  The CTCL-153P is rated for 150W of compatible LEDs or 600W of incandescent/halogen lighting. Lutron does not recommend using this device to operate a ceiling fan. Instead, Lutron offers the CTFSQ-F for pull-chain style ceiling fan operation.

A:  Yes, the CTCL-153P can have a mix of LED and incandescent lighting. Here is a link to the spec sheet of the CTCL-153P dimmer which conveys how much wattage of each it can accommodate: https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/369683.pdf

A:  The physical configuration of the light (LED tube) should not matter. This switch is rated for dimmable LED's. I would pay more attention to the specifications of the light you are considering as that product should be specified as either AC-dimmable (or not).

A:  The CTCL-153p is not a 0-10V dimmer. This dimmer is designed for line voltage applications and rated for 150W of compatible LED/CFL or 600W incandescent/halogen. Instead, Lutron would recommend the DVSTV for a 0-10V lighting fixture.

A:  It would be best to contact the manufacture but I really don'r think it would work with a low voltage system.

A:  Lights only. It cannot be used for motors such as in a ceiling or bath fan. Call the manufacturer; they are very good at finding the right switch for your needs.

A:  The CTCL-153P is only designed to control a lighting load and should not be used for a fan. This control is rated for up to 150W of dimmable LED/CFL or 600W of incandescent/halogen.
