Expensive but well worth the month.
I installed two of these 2 years ago, really very nice work well and make turning on and off both lights and fan very easy, compared to the slide controllers that the finger piece falls off of.

This switch is not a direct replacement for old or existing electrical work. It is for new or lights/fans wired with 12/4 romex. It will not work with 3 pole switches

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Maestro MACL-LFQ fan/light control. All of our current fan and light controls require separate switch leg wires to the fan motor and light kit, in addition to a ground, and cannot be used for many retrofit applications where there are only two wires + ground in the wallbox. See the below specification sheet for more information:

Fan Speed Buttons Make Clicking Sound
Installed these on 3 of my bedroom fans. They look slick and operate as they should. I am disappointed that when turning the fan on/off or adjusting the speed, the switch makes a clicking sounds. For the price point, these should not have relays that cause this.

    Excellent product and easy to install. Works well and our previous one lasted over 12 years until a huge power surge took it out along with many other household items. Needs a hot wire in the switch box and two independent wires running to the ceiling box for the fan and the light. Does not need a neutral in the switch box but does need a neutral at the ceiling box. This is a very common wiring scheme if your fan control wall box already has separate buttons for the fan and light.

    First switch I've ever installed. Figured it out, but took me some time - to me it wasn't that clear which wire does what. I had to experiment until it worked, the instructions paper wasn't too useful. But, after all the effort, the light works well

    Nice switch. If your fan doesn't have a light kit, or if the light bulb on your fan is burned out, it renders the switch completely inoperable. The fan control and the entire switch does not work if the light bulb is not there/functional. Seems like a design flaw.

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Maestro Fan and Light Control. This device does require both a light and fan load present to be operational. We do offer various fan-only controls in our product lines, including the Diva model DVFSQ-F. See the below link for more information:

    Not worth buying.
    I previously wrote that the switch in the off position does not fully stop the electric from flowing. I got shocked replacing the fan. Now I have a new issue. The incandescent lightbulb burned out. The switch indicator lights started flashing and the switch, both fan and light, were rendered useless until I replaced the bulb. I first loved this switch and bought an entire house's worth, 4 bedrooms and a living room. Now I am in the process of replacing all of them. $250 down the drain.

    We're sorry to hear about your experience. Lutron would recommend turning off power at the breaker panel to ensure your safety while installing our dimmer. You can verify the power to the switch is off by toggling the switch on and off. If fan/light doesn't doesn't operate in the on position, then you should be able to review the wiring in the instructions or feel free to utilize our helpful wiring wizard. Please keep in mind, the MACL-LFQ required a dimmable LED load or incandescent load in order to operate. To find a dimmable LED load, please visit www.lutron.com/LEDFinder to find a complete list of approved bulb's Lutron has tested with this fan control. lutron

      Cannot run fan only and lights
      When you run the fan, the lights turn on, but at a dim level - you cannot have fully lit lights and the fan on. This sucks for both daytime - when you’re trying to work with the lights in, and sleeping, when you’re trying to sleep with the lights off.

      We're sorry to hear about your experience with the MACL-LFQ. The device has the capability to be able to control your fan and lights separately.

      Light control is a dimmer, we assume you are controlling dimmable LEDs? Because there is no industry standard for manufacturing LEDs, not all LEDs are designed the same. That's why Lutron has a mobile-friendly web tool to help you select bulbs that perform great with Lutron dimmers. We specifically test to ensure that the bulbs we list on our tool are not susceptible to a variety of issues, including bulbs that will not turn completely off. To use the tool, please visit lutron.com/ledfinder.

      If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please call our support line at 844-LUTRON1.​ We're here 24/7, so please call us anytime!" lutron

        I give 4 out of 5 because I had to buy one to replace one of three of the exact same controls that were installed 2 years ago in a room that has not had any electrical issues. So hopefully this is just one of those things that happens on occasion and I drew the straw. From a functional standpoint the lighting and fan control features, as well as the on/off get 5 of 5.

        Garbage
        Have had 5, all have failed with very light usage. 3 of them failed within 3 years or less. Unless you like wasting money and time replacing expensive switches, look somewhere else.

          Frustrated
          Sure the switch would work…..just not with remote controlled fan and light. Tried every wire combination and could not get the switch to independently work light and fan.

          We're very sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the switch not working your light and fan independently. The MACL-LFQH-WH is designed to control a standard 3-speed ceiling fan which only uses pull-chains to adjust its speeds. A fan that has its own remote or wall control typically uses a proprietary control technology and would likely be incompatible with another manufacturer's fan speed control. We suggest you reach out to the fan manufacturer to verify if this control would be compatible with their fan.

          Only can you specific light bulbs with the dimmer, not all dimmable bulbs. It would be nicer to be able to use any dimmable LED bulb in the new fan I installed instead of searching for ones that work with this controller.

          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.
