        Q:Bought this one over a year ago to dim my dim-able led bulbs and it works great. It controls the brightness at low levels smoothly. Why does Lutron suddenly say it isn't for LED's? It didn't say this when I bought this product.

        A:  I use DVELV-303P (reverse-phase) with LEDs. It doesn't get as dim as (forward-phase) AYCL-153P but doesn't buzz. Maybe Lutron would rather you buy the more expensive (newer?) Diva DVRP-253P rated for 500-watt ELV & 250-watt LED/CFL.

            Q:My LED island pendant lighting and the dining table accent lighting don't dim down low and flickers at lowest dimmable setting. I was told by Lutron that this is the one. Would that work for a low voltage LED light bulb, 8-18V, 2.5W ( I have 12 of them) and I get the required dimming without flickering? The bulb model is G4LED505 G4/Bi-pin LED Light Bulb

            A:  Works as designed...

            by|Jun 20, 2023

            A:  The DVELV-303P is technically rated for 300w of incandescent/halogen bulbs on an electronic low voltage transformer. It's not uncommon that a transformer manufacturer would recommend using the DVELV-303P for LED lights, however that responsibility falls on the transformer manufacturer. Lutron suggests contacting the LED manufacturer to find a list of compatible electronic low voltage dimmers.

              Q:Can this dimmer be used to dim low voltage LED lamps. Mr16

              Answer This Question

              A:  The DVELV-303P (single pole or 3-pole wiring) works excellent on my undercabinet Nicor LEDs. Note that Lutron sells two models, the 300P if you have one switch, or the 303P if you have two switches. The DVELV dimmer does not dim quite as low as the Lutron CL dimmers, but it keeps the lights silent and flicker-free. Also note both of these models require that a neutral wire is present in the wallbox. This isn't always the case with older wiring, best to check.

                  A:  It is recommended to use a 2.5" deep wallbox at minimum. The DVELV-300P-WH will sit 1.31" dep into a wallbox. Please see the Dimension section for more information: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/specSubmittal_Diva.pdf

                      Q:What is the minimum wattage the dimmer can control (I'm trying to use two led pendants that combined onlydraw 2.4 watts)

                      Answer This Question

                      A:  The DVELV-300P has a minimum load of 5W of incandescent/halogen. Currently, there is no industry standard or regulation for the manufacturing of LEDs and the performance will vary with different dimming controls and thus we cannot specify an exact minimum load for LEDs. Lutron would suggest reaching out to the LED manufacturer to verify which dimmers they have tested and proven compatible and also to see if there is a minimum/maximum number of bulbs which could be used with a particular dimmer.
